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’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

    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.

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

    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.

    I can’t help but wonder whether Trump really fired her because of this becoming public.
