WaPo published an eye-popping report on the rise of "political humiliation," interviewing the "libtard subs" who fantasize about being dominated by "MAGA doms."
I honestly find it a little hard to believe, I’d want to see proof these people are actually libs. Voting records, preferably, or them arguing for liberal positions with sensible arguments that we would actually say.
It’s not like trolls don’t pretend to be other things, just for funsies. Or to try to make a point.
I mean, humiliation kink is about social humiliation in part, I think. I can definitely see liberals living in conservative areas feeling shame and then using kink to ‘burn off’ that shame.
I’m not completely discounting it, just wishing for proof. I do know for certain, one thing that happens sometimes, though… And that’s just a conservative claiming to be a liberal on the internet.
It’s just an efficient way to make us look bad, by sockpuppeting one of us basically. Kinda like how we’ve probably got malicious state actors sockpuppeting all of our most extreme political positions, just to help spark larger numbers of misunderstandings.
It’s a kink I’ve seen on lemmy. Granted, its like one person who has like 3 communities of mostly themselves and one of which is specifically this kink. But seems like the type of thing that would mostly get lurkers anyways…
They’re likely a conservative roleplaying as a liberal then. I can’t imagine any actual liberal being into this kink with an actual conservative partner
I’d assume its more likely two non-conservatives, where one RPs as a conservative. Its kink. Who would think its about actual conservatives and actual liberals?
Uh… is it really surprising that kink communities are into kink?
I guess, but it’s certainly not a kink I ever expected.

It’s all fake is my guess. Neither party is either thing you are claiming to be. Kink play is just cops and robbers with your pants off.

Being surrounded by conservatives makes me feel rage, not shame.
I mean, same, but I imagine it’s different for some.
