OP here.

Cry troll all you want, but my thoughts are genuine. I could start posting some of my collected pics, but I suppose all that would prove is that I have access to image search. Though lolling at the idea you all think this is unheard of. In the UK (where I hail from), it is fucking infamous in certain subsets of the gay community.

For starters – dem uniforms. Literally everything about them is perfectly designed. Yeah, all the various fictional knockoffs have their own charm, but nothing quite matches the home source. But that’s what you get when you have the best in the fashion industry meet military uniforms. Secondary to this is the whole zeitgeist. It’s just some ethereal quality that’s hard to put your finger on exactly what, but the whole pure blood Aryan mythology, the marches and public spectacles, the almost worldwide domination of other countries, the attempt at something so ‘great’ (meaning large or immense here), the experiments and camps, the links to the supernatural, the ideology of elite groups trying to take on the world (as inaccurate as a historical reality as that is). They all add up to something much greater than their individual parts, that’s just the ultimate turn-on. And the AUs are fun too.

And it’s not glorification, because its firmly placed in the realm of historical fantasy. Nazism as an ideology is dead. You really think the neo-nazis have absolutely anything in common with individuals such as myself who like their ~japanese animes~ to dress up in the aesthetic?

I suppose the deep irony here is that I’m almost uncomfortably liberal. It would shock anyone who knew me irl or through the web. Arguing for the sapir-whorf hypothesis in one tab, browsing this in the other. But I suppose that’s because I’ve fully embraced the ‘ykinmk’, and realise that as soon as you put this off limits you’re heading into a fucking incoherent mess of doubling down on what’s not acceptable or inherently offensive.

And tbh, I stand by my last line. If you want to talk about how offensive what I do mostly* away from prying eyes is (*mostly, because how many people honestly just step across this by accident) when you see how goddamn homophobic (and sexist for that matter) the average Jewish community is. Iduncurr how offensive this is to you, when you tacitly accept that, and continue to alter the way we view the holocaust. Yes Jewish people disproportionally the worst affected, but millions of other victims suffered during the holocaust, and who the hell are you to tell us how to view and treat it?

I gotta say I agree with the lolling part in the first para. I'm amazed at how many people in this thread think nazi fetishism in the western hemisphere is practically nonexistent and only a couple of old porn movies or sth. No, just no...

(Anonymous) 2011-10-26 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
So you're saying the Jews are just as bad so they don't deserve to be offended.
Your stance now becomes quite clear.

(Anonymous) 2011-10-26 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
No.

My point was that they don't get to claim ownership over what happened, as though the holocaust was exclusive to them, as I have seen countless times before.

(Anonymous) 2011-10-26 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
And this relates to your deep and unassailable right to be a Nazi fetishist... how?

[identity profile] aiffe.livejournal.com 2011-10-26 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
I agree with YKINMK. Nazi uniforms do nothing for me in the pants, but I'm not the Fap Police, I'm not going to tell people what they can or can't fap to. Like most kinks, I think it plays into power/control. People like the uniforms because they represent power without conscience, and for a lot of people that's a huge turn-on, in various forms. Extreme power imbalances are the backbone of many kinks, including noncon, chan, and guro. So if you want to defend your kink in terms of fantasy != reality, and YKINMK, you have a pretty solid case there.

I'd advise you to stop there and not go into villifying Jews or the bisexual/Jewish Oppression Olympics. That is a can of worms you do not want to open, and it isn't helping your case one bit. I understand that there's a strong human urge to rationalize and justify things you already like/do and don't want to stop liking/doing. But the fantasy/kink argument is quite enough. So just....here's a bottle of KY, try to dislodge your foot from your mouth, drop the part of your argument that's patently offensive and getting everyone in a lather, and enjoy your Nazi kink.

[identity profile] false-alexis.livejournal.com 2011-10-26 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
Wow. This Jewish lesbian would like to say fuck you very much.

I have lived most of my life in a place where homophobia is accepted and welcomed and holocaust denial is common. More people around here meet Neo-Nazis growing up than Jews, and the first queer people I met as a child were through my synagogue at a tolerance protest we held the same time the KKK was rallying. That was my childhood in the contemporary first world. Where I live Nazi imagery is still connected with the desire to rid the world of people who are like me in EITHER OF THE WAYS YOU DESCRIBE. So, yeah, playing murder of Jews against murder and oppression of gays does not go over well here, okay?

You might potentially have some argument to defend your kink from YKINMK... but your conflation of Holocaust issues and your advertising of your ignorance is truly, unequivocally gross. And that is what makes me think that maybe you are being gross in other ways, too: because people who screw up that totally in one way automatically lose my trust.

Also, you talk about engaging in this kink in private away from non-kink spaces, but I just stepped across it right here by accident without a trigger warning. Thanks.

thank you for saying what i couldn't put into words

I hope OP is trolling.

[identity profile] zelda-dragon.livejournal.com 2011-10-26 10:21 am (UTC)(link)
A little late, but, as another queer Jew, thank you. This is exactly what I was trying to find the words to express. Thank you, thank you.


OP - you are free to have whatever kink you want. But it crosses a totally different line when you start vilifying the Jewish people who lived through that whole ordeal and our community as a whole. I understand the Jews were not the only group selected and persecuted - but you do NOT get to play the whole "I'm bi, and if I'm not offended you shouldn't be either" card. Not with this.

(And yes, after that comment you left above, you ARE glorifying the Nazis, no matter how hard you are trying to tell us - and yourself - that you're not.)

Really, you should have added some kind of warning for your secret - and that is something that I have never said before. I really, truly hated stumbling across this with no warning whatsoever. It's not like it was something I could miss, with that uniform and the swastika.


I hope beyond hope that you are a troll.

Thanks for saying it a lot better than I did.

Queer Jewish man here, who was raised by frum Shoah survivors -- and who learned about tolerance, acceptance, and equality from them, and brought his boyfriend home to them without any problems. Thank you for this. Word to the nth degree.

(Anonymous) 2011-10-26 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
queer observant jewess here, saying word to both of you.

OP Again

(Anonymous) 2011-10-26 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
It's nice and all, that you know some tolerant jewsish people - and of course they exist, it'd be ridiculous to say that's not the case, but are you seriously arguing there isn't systematic problems in the community about homophobia?

Because that'd be like saying 'oh well I'm a muslim woman, and I've never faced sexism, so it must not be there'. Yeah, no.

Re: OP Again

[identity profile] false-alexis.livejournal.com 2011-10-26 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
It is saying that 'The Jewish community has homophobia problems' is in NO WAY justification for using imagery that is still used by folks who want to eliminate both queers and Jews, and that those us who get slapped with both tags have every right to be angry about your general attitude and your failure to understand the basics of intersectionality.

Re: OP Again

(Anonymous) 2011-10-27 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
You miss the point soooo hard, you gotta be doing it on purpose. You're just fucking up left and right, aren't ya OP?

Things You Should Already Know:
1) No community or culture is perfect.
2) Multiple countries, people, groups, religions, cultures, etc. suffered devastating holocausts/injustices/massacres/etc.
3) Their flaws DO NOT make them deserve any of their suffering. EVER.

I have no insult that fits my opinion of you, OP.

(Anonymous) 2011-10-27 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Queer Jewish bloke here.

Let me explain a few things to you, since your higher reasoning function seems borked.

1. The Jewish community is not a fucking monolith. There are homophobic Jews and gay Jews, racist Jews and black Jews, sexist Jews and female rabbis. The Jewish community exists on a spectrum of political and social stances, and the thing we have in common is our identity as Jews. You can't say "all Jews are homophobic" any more than you can say "all Christians are homophobic" or "all Brits are homophobic." That's called a sweeping generalisation, children, and is frowned upon in places where logic is a virtue.

2. Some frum Jews are virulently homophobic. That is an acknowledged issue in the community. But it's also changing, and being challenged, and we're fucking working on it, so unless you're a goddamn frum Jew, stop telling us how to deal with our own issues. Do you also call out racial minorities on their racial prejudices? No? Then sit the fuck down and police yourself before you police us.

3. Reform Judaism and to a great extent Conservative Judaism, especially in the United States, is open, inclusive, and performs fucking gay marriages. They have gay rabbis, especially in Reform congregations. If that's your definition of homophobia, then what the fuck are you smoking?

4. Israel is one of the only countries in the Middle East where being gay is not fucking illegal. The Pride Parade in Tel Aviv is huge. There's a large gay community in Tel Aviv, and gay couples are pretty fucking normative in some parts of the city, the same way it is in all major cities in Western counties. We have fucking common law marriages for gay couples in Israel, which is better than most of the US, and the laws are improving. This is fucking homophobia on a vast and terrible scale, how?

You're bi and you've experienced oppression and apparently, you seem to think the Jews are your problem. And maybe you have experienced some oppression, it's impossible to be a sexual minority and not. But for fuck's sake -- stop taking it out on the Jews because you're frustrated and you've bought into a damn extremist image of us that says we're clearly out to shut down your sexy fun tiems and must be the devil incarnate. Work on your own fucking issues before you start worrying what happens in our community.

I am really insanely tired of gentiles, especially white girls who think they know what Oppression Really Looks Like, telling me how awful I am, how my people are the Worst Evar, and I'm so oppressed. Why don't you let me work on my community, and you check your own issues at the door.

when you see how goddamn homophobic (and sexist for that matter) the average Jewish community is

Oh wow. You've obviously met like, one Jewish person in your life and you're judging all Jewish people by that one person.

holy shit

dear OP

your second paragraph terrifies the shit out of me.

[identity profile] taleya.livejournal.com 2011-10-26 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Really, it's the perfect storm of kinks for some.

There's the domination, the aryan ideal of physical perfection, the leather, the sharp uniforms, the sadomasochism + the whole dirtybadwrongwrongwrong screams about anything even remotely hinting at nazism that make it even more forbidden fruit.

NMK in the slightest, but I can see how some people would be HNNGGG about it.

And for everyone going HOMG THAT'S HORRIFYING

...Isla. She-Wolf of the SS. This is not a new concept.

People can and will kink fetishise anything they wouldn't touch with a fucking ten foot pole outside of the scene. Fuck, the power-driven mysoginistic business executive who wants to be tied up and made some woman's bitch in the bedroom's a goddamn trope. Rape fantasies. people have a habit of taking something that horrifies them, or speaks to their darkest elements and setting it in a safer environ. For some it's a way of dealing. for others, it's the dark delicious slip of thrill. And there's a bajillion other reasons, human sexuality is a lovely screwy complex thing.

Fuck, stick a fairy wand up your arse and proclaim yourself the easter bunny. IDGAS. Kinks aren't something you can control, and trying to make someone ashamed for theirs is fucked up
