fetishising the Nazi uniform =/= fetishising the Nazi movement

exactly

yeah, except the secret is about "Nazi kink" and not "Nazi uniform kink", genius.

(Anonymous) 2012-06-16 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
From what I've personally seen, people usually say "Nazi kink" when they actually mean "Nazi uniform kink" or "Nazi uniform + authority + cruelty kink". It's a shorthand of sorts.

I've never seen anyone in fandom saying they have a Nazi kink and meaning "oh yeah, Nazis killing Jews, that's so sexy I have to imagine it in detail while I have a wank". I'm sure those people exist, too, but it's not what Nazi kink usually means in fandom. But since I haven't seen every fandom discussion ever, somewhere else it might be different.

Agree.

The way I see it, it's roughly the difference between wearing a crucifix as a fashion statement, and wearing a crucifix because you're Christian. If you do the former you can't really blame people for assuming the latter.

True. This is why it's so important to say/ask things like "could you explain further?" and "what does that mean to you" and "please tell me more" before jumping on people. I'm not saying that you were jumping on anyone or advocating it. I'm commenting on the general state of fandom today and how ready people are to assume the worst when nine out of ten times a quick question reveals that it was incomplete or wonky wording.

Yes, but at the same time, as this one principal was fond of saying, the communication is a creation of the receiver. I don't think many people would pause to talk to a person who asks for Nazis in their porn, to ask for clarification whether they support the ideals or if they just think Hugo Boss cut a mighty fine suit (to be quite honest I find uniforms generic, anyway, so if it's specifically the Nazi uniform kink, I will assume the party had something to do with it).

I agree with you about the state of fandom these days - state of everything, ever, really. A lot of wank time could be saved if people thought about what they were doing and paused to think about wording. Goodness, half of us here are writers, you'd think they know a thing or two about how the choice of words matters.
