Politics in fetishes and should they be included?

I have been thinking about this for the past few months and after Tuesday’s horror show I think it would be a good time to ask if politics should be considered when looking for fetish content and fetish creators. mainly focusing on eructophilia as to keep it in line with the forum. try to keep things civil and polite when discussing this.

No, I don’t think they should be included.

No, the same way you can separate the art from an artist I can separate their opinions from my fetish. Everyone is entitled to their opinion so long as it isn’t physically hurting anyone

Politics is a part of every single facet of our lives regardless if you want to admit it or not. People claiming that they want to “separate the art of the artist” fail to understand that art is influenced by the world the artist inhabits. You can willingly choose to ignore this fact, but it doesn’t change it from being real.

This kink is not your entire life (or at least I hope it’s not), it’s one aspect of it. The other parts of your life, outside of the internet, will be impacted by politics because like it or not, that’s the reality we live in. The “belching black queens” you claim to really enjoy? Guess what, their lives have been made much harder because of what’s happening in POLITICS.

Personally I’m here to beat my meat and chat a bit and that’s it. I don’t think everything has to be political. Like with normal vanilla porn most don’t involve politics and other stuff. I don’t see how us having a burp fetish it any way is political. But that’s just my opinion.

I think the bigger idea of separating the art from the artist is that we can appreciate things without linking them to a person or an idea. Yes, we “ignore” the other part (the creator of the art perse) but it didn’t really play a role to begin with.

It’s been talked about before about how Jodie Parks views on some stuff or whatever turned a lot of people off from watching her videos, and that’s as far as it went. People just looked elsewhere, it wasnt a witch hunt or an opportunity to change someone’s views.

It’s good to be politically active and in tune with the world but I think we shouldn’t mix everything with everything, politics and jacking off are very far apart and that’s no coincidence. Personally I don’t see the point in getting angry or frustrated over somebody’s views in this type of environment, it sounds miserable.

Politics is inherently within everything. Do you like music? Music is political. Films are political. Games are political. Sex work is political.

Sex work has a long storied past that has innate ties to political movements throughout history. That’s just a fact. The fact that we have the opportunity to pay for fetish content at ALL is due to the work done in the political sphere. That didn’t just happen because we willed it into existence.

I’m not saying go on witch hunts. On the contrary, in fact, those people are absolutely free to do what they want with their own lives. I’m all for getting our shit off and having a great time. But it’s the precedent.

I’m not getting off to someone’s content who, again, outside of this fetish contributes to a movement that I fundamentally disagree with. Because again, you have a life outside of this space that WILL be impacted, no matter how small an impact it will be.

Ignoring half of humanity or more seems like it will be challenging.

You’d be surprised at how shockingly easy it is.

I mean yeah politics is in everything but thinking about politics being in everything and thus everything is political is a miserable thing to do. I used to be very political and tbh I was just a little shit repeating the same thing everyone else was already saying trying to be “right”

I believe if most people are just watching clips of someone, then I don’t think it will matter much since that’s probably most of the interaction you will deal with them on. If all I’m watching are compilations of someone, then unless you actively go looking for where they stand, you will never know.

I think it gets a bit muddier when you are interacting with this person in live chats, DM’s and such. Now you’re having a more… emotional interest in them besides getting off on their burping, even more so if you are paying them due to them having paid content.

I’ve always been political, but I’m much less likely to fight with people about it nowadays. I have friends from quite a wide range of political beliefs and often they say things I really disagree with, but I try to consider why they’re saying it rather than just taking it at face value. It’s probably the case that they’re not as racist/wokeist/whatever as you think, but just that they have some particular frustrations in life they’re trying to vent.

Regarding entertainers, you can’t really interact with society at all without potentially giving money or attention to people whose political beliefs differ from your own so I don’t worry about it too much.

what is wokeist? I see it as I wouldn’t give money to anyone would do me harm. like Orange man supporters or Jk Rowling and her horrible fans.

So we shouldn’t pay content creators who believe something other than what’s politically just? Or view their videos on TikTok or whatever, I don’t think we specified it should be limited to paid content only.
I don’t think monetarily supporting these content creators is gonna change the outcome of the next election and if we’re talking specifics, if a specific content creator voted trump, how would buying their content affect their voting or others voting? Is it just a moral thing? Or is there a different reason

I think politics can be brought up on occasion but overall on a fetish forum it’s not that big of a factor for most cause the overall goal is to get off to content. For most it’s as simple as if a person is attractive enough with great burps it’s hard to not be aroused even if you’re aware they are a crappy person. For me personally there is that nagging feeling in the back of my head on the rare occasion I watch a burp comp of someone like Brittany Venti who makes it clear she thinks descrimination is cool. I do however have to admit she is one of the top burpers around and outside of her cold eyes she is pretty attractive. I sure as hell couldn’t be one of the folks who combs through her streams for burps though cause I can’t even take hearing annoying bits and pieces of that nonsense she spews. So long as a comp video doesn’t include her political dialogue I can most likely enjoy the video. I think it really just depends on how hard the person leans into politics and how easy it is to ignore their politics. If it’s some MAGA person always wearing MAGA gear on camera it’s much harder to get off to cause they’re constantly visually reminding you of what they represent and it can’t be edited out lol.

Last thing I’ll say on this and I appreciate the discussion, despite our disagreement.

It is a moral thing. Like, we’re in a fetish community. What are you willing to ignore in order to get off? Speaking broadly, I remember when Alice (a fetish content creator from way back in the 2000s) made a fetish video where she harmed an animal. When I heard about that, I just immediately stopped watching her video archive. This is what I mean. If she was still making videos, I wouldn’t engage with them in any way.

You will unlikely get that individual to change their vote. That’s not the point. It’s about setting your own personal convictions.

The only political thing should be around is if your into some political figure to find sexual pleasure. If you’re here to talk anymore than that about it then that says a lot about your person. :man_shrugging:t5:

in what sense? I mean politics effects the people you get off to. shouldn’t we be seeing that they are looked after. Politics can really mess with people’s minds and content creators who are minorities aren’t feeling safe at the moment and that have a knock-on effect on if they will continue to make content. the act of just closing your eyes and turning your devices off only works when you will never be fully harmed by the policies. The perverts on here will complain if there is a drop in content by creators they claim to enjoy. everything is interlinked and we can’t ignore what is happening unless you are not going to be impacted.

This is a lot more interesting of a topic than I initially thought cause it then brings up questions of morality as a whole. Personally I’m willing to put aside so much so long as I find it worth it, but there are barriers I set such as animal harm (vore fish for example)

It seems strange to me that in a time where there is a glut of stimuli that folks would choose to bust a nut to problematic people. Maybe you can’t help what you are aroused by, but you can help what you engage with.
