I don't think the guy should be ridiculed or kink-shamed for his fetish, which at a surface level seems fairly non-harmful. I think he should be ridiculed and shamed for standing by Kristi Noem.

It’s the same kind of situation as when a homophobic Republican turns out to be secretly gay. Is it fair game to mock them for their hypocrisy?

I think it's fair to have discussions about problematic situations, one of which is hypocrisy. I do though wonder if mockery specifically is part of the cycle of sickness, that roots the repression generation to generation.

I don’t know much about the “bimboification” subculture, but it might be the case that even they don’t really want it to be normalized. It seems like one of those kinks where part of the fun is the tabooness. Not everyone wants a Disney parade float and a rack at Target.

With degradation fetishes, there typically still is a consent contract involved of sorts. There's typically a space of consent where the kink lifestyle is practiced, and when you exit the space in which that dynamic is agreed upon, you're allowed to return to the vanilla society status quo.

I generally agree, but I'd be shocked if this guy is engaging in best practices for any kink.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 3 weeks ago

Fair. I mean, he's clearly horny-posting on main, which I personally wouldn't recommend.

I’m just talking about how other members of the subculture might feel when they see people mocking this one high profile guy for his participation in it. They might not mind.

I would ignore the tits completely while continuing to ridicule their shitty religious beliefs and policy

But they’re sooooo big!

Before someone comments on the involvement of sex workers, my stance is sex work should be legalized in Western society and made more safe. I do not view sex work as intrinsically wrong or harmful.

Goddamned clickbait headline.

I haven't seen anyone ridicule him for the fetish. Everyone hates his wife. She can fuck off, and can go with her.

I don't know if a joke reference to Fight Club counts as ridiculing him over his kink.

Usually references like this translate to:

This reminds me of X. I'll say a line from X and everybody who is familiar with X will understand what I've referenced and we'll all share some comradery around this piece of media we all remember.

You're the joke here, ICE man.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I know a bully when I see one.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 0 points 3 weeks ago

Do you? Is it the person thats following people into other threads, or are you so angry you don't even realize what you're doing?

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 0 points 3 weeks ago

That was my joke yes! Im glad you like it

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Can we ridicule and kink-shame her for her fetish of shooting dogs though?

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 3 weeks ago

Yes. She shouldn't be just shamed for that though, she should be held criminally accountable.

None of these people's sexual whatnot would matter, if they weren't fascists calling to round up all deviants and perverts... like themselves. People calling them out are generally pro-deviant. They are also targets of these hypocritical bastards.

You don't get the spit the word "degenerate" and then peacefully get to do things you want people murdered for.
