Republicans have a Nazi porn problem, again. Virginia Republican lieutenant governor nominee John Reid is facing mounting political pressure after a report tied him to a Tumblr blog that reposted Nazi-themed pornography and violent sexual content. The allegations, which Reid has denied, have fueled fresh calls for his withdrawal from the race.

Reid’s longtime partner, Alonzo Mable, is Black.

If they're into race play, that's weird but none of our business. Judge not lest ye be judged for the porn that you like.

    Some of the stuff that people are into can tell us about what they're like as people. Fetishizing nazis and white power shit, that's not just a fetish, that shit's a lifestyle, and I'm pretty sure that that carries over into a person's actual political opinions and attitudes. But, it might not be him. That's always a possibility. I'd like some proof that it was.

    are you … defending his ability to share nazi themed porn?

    Yup. He’s got a right to do that. Doesn’t make him a great candidate, though.

    How do you feel about consensual rape?

    You mean consensual non consent? That shit freaks me out a little bit, but it doesn't seem to bleed out into most people's lives. Most of the participants aren't rapists. I'm willing to bet every dollar that I have that people that are on Tumblr using white supremacist and nazi terms, fetishizing the ideologies, sure as hell have some measure of belief in them. There's even a political compass for fetishes (yes, I know that the political compass is pretty useless, but it kind of lets us know about where the average participant leans). Raceplay, was the most authoritarian right-wing result.

    i don’t want my candidates supporting nazis in any way shape or form engaging in deviant sexual fantasies

    FTFY

    Do other deviant sexual fantasies imply support of the fantasized subject? eg

    • restraints imply support of illegal detention & coercion?
    • rape-fantasy imply support of real rape?

    i spent many years as a dom to my now late wife. no, binding and such do not mean I support real rape.

    but it did normalize it to her. because she was a victim of it in her earlier days.

    and consenting to a fantasy allowed her control of it.

    NONE OF THAT is the same as normalizing nazis. sheesh. would you be ok if someone wanted to age play in a manner illegal otherwise?

    you’re just baiting.

    what are you talking about? I’m all for anything that makes anyone happy. and unless the fantasy is about doing things to the nazis, that I won’t type online, the fantasy must be other wise supporting them.

    any candidate that supports nazis and their culture normalizes them. normalizing nazis is never a good thing.

    you make it seem like “if it’s a fantasy it’s ok.”

    a very slippery and childish slope.

    It is fantasy which isn't support. You're conflating.

    People fantasize & act out fantasies of being abducted & raped with consenting partners: doesn't mean they support actual rape. Some guys imagine & act out being subjected to oppressive sexual situations & others get a rush indulging their fantasies: doesn't mean they support oppression, either.

    Work on your cognitive dissonance.

    A slippery slope is to argue pretense & fantasy inevitably lead to non-fantasy (such as real endorsement): a fallacy you commit.

    normalization of genocide (something nazis do) is not something I’ll vote for. there is no conflation here.

    By your logic, then, you're voting for normalizing rape, oppressive force, & slavery?

    Maybe work on your logic: you're conflating.

    Your argument basically amounts to

    1. Doing wrong is wrong.
    2. So, pretending to do wrong (for stimulation & excitement between consenting partners & for likeminded enthusiasts) is wrong.

    That's a shit argument.
