Sexual repression + adherence to a shame culture. They constantly think about sex but have no way to publicly let out these thoughts without being shunned by their peers, so they use politics as a vehicle for that. Fascism is based in male sexual insecurity.

That also explains their obsession with interracial relationships in media (racism aside). Whether they’re watching “BBC porn” (bc you know it’s not us black dudes watching that, it’s dehumanizing and weird) or getting mad when white women date black (or any nonwhite) men, it’s all rooted in an obsession with perceived sexual inadequacy.

Not only do they think other (often black) men are physically superior. They perceive us as morally degenerated when we do engage in what are, in reality, healthy sexual practices. But, and this is crucial, their shame at their own actual, hidden sexual depravity makes them project a twisted morality on others. That’s why it seems every accusation they make is actually a confession.

In their minds, all of life is a zero sum struggle to outcompete other men for limited resources. But their sexual inadequacy creates a fundamental challenge to their masculinity. And rather than developing a healthy understanding of manhood, they’d simply destroy (read: ruin, cast down, kill) the competition.

Ok so, now I don’t feel silly thinking it was the British Broadcasting Company. I had to check that a couple of times trying to figure out how they were involved.

u/queen_of_potato Aug 23 '24

Oh that's what I thought too and was thinking they meant stuff like the night manager or that one with Billie Piper as an escort haha whoops

I love this; excellent breakdown. Racializing in porn has always made me uncomfortable because I can kind of feel that energy and it's a little uncomfortable (I'm white btw). Crazy how just allowing yourself to have fun with sex and explore it in a healthy way is SO discouraged in this culture. At times by both sides.

Example: As a young teenage liberal, I felt like I was a problematic chauvinist for feeling attraction to women. It was the protestant shame mixed with my consumption of rape culture/patriarchy discourse. Took a long time for me to not feel like a POS for having a sex drive.

We live in an objectively weird society, man.

It hurts watching Asians in porn cos my gf is Asian. It’s a weird thing to admit, but I watched Asian porn before I met my gf. Mindfuck

u/DougK76 Aug 23 '24

I’d, personally, not see an issue with watching Asian porn, unless either of the following are true:

  1. That’s all you ever watch.
  2. You ask your GF to act like they do in porn (as a fair amount of Asian porn (produced in the West, intended for those who fetishize it) would be the stereotypical stuff, like school girls, or anime characters).

If the race is not the focus of the video, it should be ok.

But of course, if you feel bad, And don’t want to watch it shine anymore, you don’t have to.

u/E63_saucegod Aug 23 '24

If the race were not the focus of the video then why would it be called Asian porn?

Took me a second to understand why you were saying “British Broadcasting Company porn” xD

u/P485 Aug 23 '24

Same, I was thinking I know tripping the velvet and bodies were a bit “racy” back in the day, but I didn’t think it was that bad. Or did they mean frank in his bow tie?

u/Dujak_Yevrah Aug 23 '24

Fr. Black people aren't watching videos labeled "Black breeding savage tribal bull with a wild BBC terrorizes sweet innocent white girl." And they're all named like that. Like who's always been obsessed with shit like that since the 50s when saying hi to a white woman would have you accused of being a rapey king kong. Like so many of them have this fantasy about us coming in like an animal and taking away white women. Why do YOU, have OUR DICKS in YOUR mind more than your girl does!?!? That shit bothers me ngl it's fucking weird.

u/UngusChungus94 Aug 23 '24

Shit bro they’ve been obsessed with that since they put us in chains. Probably before.

u/Dujak_Yevrah Aug 23 '24

Heard that!

u/Status-Biscotti Aug 23 '24

Great Ted Talk! Side comment: I’m not gonna look it up ‘cause I’m afraid of what I’ll find, but I guess “BBC porn” has nothing to do with the British Broadcasting System? 😂

On the other hand, Grindr crashed due to overload during the Republican National Congress in the Milwaukey area. Surely only a coincidence.

As a black woman married to a white man, this is spot on.

u/MPlainguet Aug 23 '24

When I was taking a class in mass media in the 90s it was an interest fact to learn that most interracial porn was sold in the Southern States.

u/Sea-Neighborhood-621 Aug 23 '24

Those very insecure guys are constantly holding on to their masculinity by a thread. They feel threatened by everything, so they want a world where they are top of the sexual food chain by law because they know they can't compete. They would be happy with everyone pretending that these guys are the pinnacle of masculinity. There's actually guys that are so afraid of people thinking they're gay that they won't even wipe their own ass because it's "gay:

u/RemarkableArticle970 Aug 23 '24

That explains a lot of men who remain “in the closet” all their lives. It wasn’t that long ago that you could be outed right out of your job, denied security clearance etc.

u/SarahPallorMortis Aug 23 '24

Too bad for them, women would rather be alone than date ppl like them.

u/GloomyAd2653 Aug 23 '24

Hmmm, maybe it’s not perceived, actually true.

u/UngusChungus94 Aug 23 '24

I guess my point is it’s not biological. They could have healthy, mutually enjoyable sex lives. The dysfunction or inadequacy is in the mind and behavior.

u/USS_Sovereign Aug 23 '24

I did a search on the internet but only found sites dealing with the dark web or the British Broadcasting Corp. Could you give a brief and simple explanation of what BBC porn is? I've never heard of this. Just curious.

It’s often used re: interracial sex (especially with white women).

u/Rasputin0P Aug 23 '24

Which is funny because dick size has little to do with sexual adequacy. I could use only my hands and mouth and do an amazing job. All you have to do is care and put effort in learning how to do it.

u/BaseClean Aug 24 '24

Umm sorry sir, no. Size still matters.

u/Rasputin0P Aug 24 '24

You can make your partner orgasm no matter how big or small your dick is. Thats what im getting at.

Would u cite a source where i can read about fascist links to repressed male sexuality.

Yes, it's their psychosexual shadow leaking out from the cracks of their masks of personalities.

u/IsoAgent Aug 23 '24

Interesting. Shaming someone while being sexually repressed is an aspect of fascism. I'll try to remember this the next time someone tries to shame me for having sexuality. Lol, sex is so taboo and people are still afraid to admit they are sexual in nature.

2

u/CliftonForce Aug 23 '24

In their day, you could destroy a man's reputation by implying they were gay. A lot of the hyper masculinity stuff is a preemptive defense against such accusations.

And they want those days back...

2

u/Hypergnostic Aug 23 '24

A student of Freud (who later became a pseudoscience style crackpot) wrote a whole book about it called The Mass Psychology of Fascism. They don't know how to cum is the basic problem, and it makes them sex crazy and weird and repressed and then lash out at others cuz even when they get off their pathological psychophysiology won't let them get off to the point of real relaxation.

Fascism is based in male sexual insecurity.

Absolutely not. Fascism does appeal to male insecurity though.

Females have sexual insecurities as well. Why just male?

7

u/Instroancevia Aug 23 '24

Because we haven't had a non-patriarchal form of fascism. The ideology is seen through a male lens, women are just brood mares and child carers, they don't have much say outside of matters of the family.

2

u/cbizzle187 Aug 23 '24

Women have always been in higher numbers (majority) since man is sent to war. Females had a large part in convincing their majority to conform. They used women’s sexual insecurities to get that conformity. It’s not a one sided coin.

1

u/The-waitress- Aug 23 '24

Excellent point

u/BaseClean Aug 24 '24

They also don’t have much of a about family matters either.

1

u/The-waitress- Aug 23 '24

I would argue they don’t typically manifest in the same way.

6

u/cbizzle187 Aug 23 '24

I would argue it happens for both male and female. Females are whores if they have too many partners and males who don’t have enough partners are shy losers. It’s not a one sided coin for females only

2

u/The-waitress- Aug 23 '24

I didn’t say it is. I just said insecurities manifest differently.

1

u/cbizzle187 Aug 23 '24

So you acknowledge it’s not just a female thing?

1

u/The-waitress- Aug 23 '24

What isn’t just a female thing?

2

u/cbizzle187 Aug 23 '24

Sorry meant male thing. Women prey on sexual insecurities as well. It’s not just a male insecurities thing. Women call each other whores and call men losers for being virgins. It’s not all manifested from males. People prey and try to control others on sexual insecurities, not just “male” insecurities.

1

u/The-waitress- Aug 23 '24

I’m not really sure what we’re even arguing about, so I’m gonna say g’day.

1

u/cbizzle187 Aug 23 '24 edited Aug 23 '24

It’s not one sex insecurities that are preyed upon and it’s not one sex doing the preying. Male sexual insecurities should be just sexual insecurities. It’s not sex biased.
