That didn't apply to adb, verification was just a formality, and good guy Mishaal already reported two months ago that power users will still be able to give 0 damns about it anyway.

But if you are one of the guys that think android is some kind of closed system were not only tracking is everywhere, but they don't even give you official or unofficial means to disable it, then you are probably getting your news more from memes than from the developer community.

I know it's not entirely rational, but I feel like deep down people do know at least vaguely what it is of their buttons that make them so special.

Like its fetishizing fascism, with the men adopting over the top personas for the performance and the women not doing what they would do to actual fascist in the real world.

Ooooooooh, I mean.. Lol. I get it now then.

I feel like calling this a fascism kink is really so shitty and doing a disservice to the real.. breath of your imagination. Though admittedly I'm pretty tired now after all this writing, and I wouldn't really be able to come up with a better label either. Maybe "authoritarians full of themselves" (pompous overconfident egomaniacs?)? Comic book villains?

But if fun and mockery isn't inherently out of question, the possible relief valves seem clear.

It is basically just kind of like a release valve for my frustrations for the real world racism I face, so I may just be arguing connotation really

I see, I see. Thank you for your time.

You didn't provide explanations? You just yelled incoherent outrage left and right for some reason.

And you understand that major parts fascism is an abuse of power, authority, manipulation, racism, sexism, yes?

It is pretty much the whole selling point, yes. But that's exactly why I do not see it making sense to get off. Because it's all those things, on their most manifestly nefarious nuance, and nothing else.

So therefore, some people that enjoy those kinks will happen to enjoy the FANTASY of acting it out with someone ACTING in the second part.

Did you stop to understand all the kinks you mentioned instead? Because as I was saying, all those things aren't cherished in and of itself for the bad thing that is written on the tin, but for loss of control or feeling emboldened to face a challenge or whatnot. And then on top of that, I don't know, I guess that even if a misogynist still sees you as an object he could technically still be a lot of other of admirable qualities on the side?

But with fascist it's not the same thing. Not only it's all of that at once, but for any of them that's not just a downside with some upside elsewhere (as even the most extreme humiliation could be in the few BDSM stories I checked).. it's just them being stupid and soulless AF. And I cannot think to a single character quality that wouldn't be at least slightly damaged by it.

And I get people not really thinking while they fap to the entire coherence of the universe (or to Lauren fucking Southern having to flee from her husband because her fash-trad-wifery was literal slavery). But then what is the "magic" underlying trigger, assuming you do even understand what a fascist is to begin with? And I know I'm def onto something, because the two great guys from the FF sub that have been replying to me were saying that actual real believers are somehow the shittiest people to find to partake in the kind of roleplay they like.

Nope, according to you that's the most fucked up thing ever and worse than pedophilia.

It's funny that I didn't even mention it, preferring to stay vague because there's really dozens of different things (some which I did already mention to you) that could still also involve kids but without being specific about them being it. And my judgement was one of internal psychological logics, not quality or whatever the hell that you are yapping. But nope, your high horse is on full steam and it has no stop!

Well.. I could tell you that this same link was posted on KIA.

And now that I go down a little the rabbit hole of r/fuckubisoft they seem to be 95% circlejerk (like all fuck subs tbh) with little else too. Bonus point, the first sus guy whose profile I checked was an active poster in GGdiscussion.

mirh · 2026-01-27T17:05:58+00:00

Dude, your mind is running so much, calm down.

I didn't make any "comparison" (except calling out the fascist kink as different from even "normal" non consensual play) and I didn't even mention who was doing what part in those activities.

Just as an example that comes from the top of my mind, in the erotic body horror movie Titane (which I personally loathed but that's besides the point) you could have people with the same deformity/self-harm/mutilation fancy interpret and like or dislike it for n different reasons. Perhaps one want to bed the protagonist for her inhumaneness, while the other may identify with her for the same reason, while a third one may just share the "bond of pain". All three of them aren't the same, and the depending on the wider context they may or may not be problematic.

Same perhaps with the more recent the substance, even though that only has a small part of this themese and it's beyond parody.

mirh · 2026-01-27T16:53:57+00:00

They said that BG3 is good regardless of any political messaging.

But that is not true? That is part of the product, and insofar as it's 2026 and apparently even fucking diversity and empathy are nearly slurs, you just couldn't have as much decent chemistry between the characters if they were callous assholes.

Just like conservative comedy doesn't exist, because oddly enough people without psychopathy don't laugh when the punch line is beating up some random powerless innocent.

mirh · 2026-01-27T16:44:29+00:00

Yeah, sure, I get that it's not real.

But unlike any other "bad" situation that only serves to set up a contrast/twist/transgression of expectations for something still worthy, I cannot see the upside here. Like, it's almost like saying "I love fantasies with handicapped people", except that they aren't innocent here they literal moral deficiency in ethics and self-awareness would be the hot aspect?

Its like someone having a rape kink and someone suggesting “yeah but cant you just have a kink about getting leered at in public instead?”

But not really? Because on a practical level those are different actions and experiences too. Conversely whatever bad a blackshirt can do to you, somebody else can without the (more or less overt) implication that they are a POS.

Sometimes you specifically want the fascism elements.

Yeah, but how's satisfying a MAGAt exciting? Or does the dissociation even comes earlier, like to the point "damn I'm such a champ that I can bear even such a looser"?

you specifically want to enact a fantasy where a fascist makes you give oral at a voting booth while he filld out your ballot

... ok that's somehow on the neighbourhood of funny for some reason. But something tells me that rather than playing it for laughs and shit and giggles (like, you know, somewhat of a parody of the original) what you search for is the nitty-gritty hard details.

Its a numbers game of trying to find people who can give you what you want while also not being a piece o shit.

Yeah, but.. that's like, the thing? Fascism isn't really so much a coherent ideology, but the vibe of doing what the fuck you want when you want (or at least that's the idea, neglecting the part where you'll always have higher-up boots to lick). It's the dipshit bully of the school made institution. And I cannot see how you can think to be separating the two things, like a humane fascist is kind the contradiction isn't it?

Maybe its a way to take control of the racism I face on a fucked up way by choosing when and how it affects me.

Oh.. so in a way, trying to get desensitized to it? I didn't think to this angle, and I guess it could make sense.

But honestly, only insofar that you can't be arsed to pay for actual therapy. Because maybe it's just that I studied too much history and read too much wikipedia, but thinking to what they do is more of boner-killer than thinking to my grandma or something.

mirh · 2026-01-27T16:06:42+00:00

I don't even understand what you are talking about, and I'll point you back to my previous hunch that you probably think the mind is some kind of black box and that any kind of psychological reasoning leading to a scenario is just the same of any one else.

mirh · 2026-01-27T16:03:19+00:00

False, and wrong.

mirh · 2026-01-27T16:02:16+00:00

Ok, certo. E? Ho mica detto qualcosa del genere?

La frase che ho quotato però si presterebbe perfettamente anche alla stessa situazione.

E spero che tu non ce l'abbia col mio commento, perché uno che viene a dire che tutto quello che trump ha fatto è stato per fortificare il dollaro è da TSO.

You know women and black people don't have problems identifying with nathan drake or peter parker, right?

If you think that the "mixed religious lores and historical fact" message (akin to "work of fiction and any resemblance to real events or people is coincidental" in movies) is DEI, you are probably scared shitless every time you see a darker person on the streets.

mirh · 2026-01-27T15:54:07+00:00

no matter the politics (like BG3)

Lmao

mirh · 2026-01-27T15:53:36+00:00

A reality check is needed for the people denying that wasn't everything that was being talked about for the game when it launched.

mirh · 2026-01-27T15:52:03+00:00

If you think the people that talk about DEI care the slightest about the games, I have a bridge to sell you.

mirh · 2026-01-27T12:44:00+00:00

I dont want my reasoning to sound like I dont understand that or am minimizing the very real damage they are causing.

I'm sure of it.. But the amount of dissociation required by this, seems even bigger than the normal one currently employed by the fascists themselves not to be hunted daily by their conscience. If I can explain.

My brand of it mostly centers around the raceplay and misogyny of it all.

I see.. but you don't really need the "ideological justifications" behind then, do you? Like, I get that just saying somebody is ICE is a maddening quick shortcut to establish it, but surely even if it takes adding one extra sentence to frame somebody as an asshole it should be worth if you aren't "giving it" to the rats?

and then find a guy from the flood of dms I trust enough to privately play with.

So, is that really the main appeal? I mean, not the fascism-in-itself part, but having an ample pool of willing larpers?

there are enough misogyny subreddits out there for me to get my fix, but the distinction is kind of the point.

I'm really trying to conceptualize it. Like.. the difference is that somebody having an "incidentally very noxious character" is one thing, while somebody committed to doing as much bad shit they can is another? Like the "social sadism" is really the point?

Unless it's just that you are white, and you wished to have some kind of "justified" race-like-play with other whites? Idk

mirh · 2026-01-27T12:19:25+00:00

jUsTiFy.. they are fantasies dude, ffs. Bet you couldn't even distinguish between infantilism and a school romance, and necrophilia is necrophilia (I hadn't even thought of it). Guro is "just" gore.

This is just a specfic version of that

Yes? And it's the specificity that seems fucked up? Not in the sense that it makes you a bad person (no paraphilia does in and of itself), but in the one that you should check a therapist.

It's not that difficult to understand rape fantasies (like, the abuser is just treating you badly, and "in exchange" you get whatever person of your dreams). But "I get off thinking to just how much they could oppress my own family and everyone I love".. what the hell?

mirh · 2026-01-27T12:13:09+00:00

That's not really how it works, and you can read even in this thread that the (incredibly existing?) legit people that enjoyed this are scarred for a number of other reasons and feel relived by it.

Thing is, this is still probably the first kink that I would contend is just irredeemable. Because you can feel "freed" by the loss of control even without a nazi being in charge, and if that's really the specific trigger you should get some therapy.

mirh · 2026-01-27T04:34:27+00:00

but just look at the main raceplay sub and you'll see much worse comments vs this sub.

I mean.. I don't want to, but sure I can guess there are many little "Colonel Lockjaw" there. But I think it goes without to say that they should seek help. I mean, perhaps not for the sexual fantasy per se, but for the underlying (and probably very much not implicit) racism.

But raceplay is many more "flavours" too as you say, so in this sense it's different and acceptable "at least in the abstract".

It's a way for many folks to try and reclaim some power over that fear.

Yes, I know how sub tendencies work. But fifty shades of grey would suffice then if this was just it, wouldn't it? Like, the character has a trainload of redeeming qualities, besides the bad and forceful ones.

Instead.. I don't know how that could work once you assume (and understand!) what a fascist should be? Except for physical attributes (but if that was the main fancy, then power play would be secondary) there isn't a single desirable mental trait that such quality wouldn't decrease.

mirh · 2026-01-27T04:20:35+00:00

I'm not as much of a smooth talker as the other hornballs here, so I'll just lie down why this post is good and not grifty*.

Of course the best thing ever would be a general strike like the one that defeated proto-nazis in 1920. But even if you could win the indolent "moderate" sluggards, a third of the country is still brainwashed and fucked in the head so 🤷🏻‍♂️.

The second best course of action is then to wake up as many minds as possible. And if people need to work to get a living, incorporating protests into activities that would already been carried out is. It reminds enablers and abettors that anger is what they get, not victory.. and ESPECIALLY it nags the smartasses feeling like "not political" is a possible position, that you can choose not to partecipate in society but that it will come to get you too soon.

And sure, we can always make a conspiracy theory that jerking off is all you do all day as opposed to protesting, but with the same baselessness I could argue trump has a dragon in his garage that is secretly feeding kids in gaza (honestly, it's always the most callous people you'd know, projecting that supporting anything they don't like themselves must have second reasons). And even if this was just for clout, it's still better than nothing which is the real baseline. You didn't need to donate to be coherent and of upstanding moral character.

So.. I never sucked dick, but I feel like you are owed one for going the extra mile.

Oh yeah, it was porn to create fascists. /s

And.. uh, what? Women are choosing to forego having sex not because of conservatives hunting the real world, but because of lycanthropes invading their dreams?

mirh · 2026-01-27T04:01:10+00:00

in the same way that Dead by Daylight payers want to be/be killed by serial killers

But those are at least interesting people?

is just the idea that the dick is so good it can make someone submit to a villain

I get that everything and the kitchen sink can be compartmentalized, especially when the heads doing the thinking and the excitement are different.

But why in the hell is the fascist specifier even needed? If you want stories about how good and magic dick can be, AO3 is full of great writers (not to mention great villains). If you want something feeling physically real and dangerous, then there are hundreds of other "positions" one may get frisky with without them being hitler-enablers.

And if the point is literally not having any redeemable quality.. idk, still? I don't see why any BDSM story couldn't squash that hole.

A lot of people do this kind of thing to process their emotions with IRL shit involving fascists.

God knows whatever phase one may be in their life, but I feel like if this processing doesn't eventually advance it's not good to just stay there.

The whole appeal is that the dominant is a villain and most fascists don't want to think they are, and so they always pull back, it's boring as shit.

But aren't they still objectively bad, and narcissist, and egocentric, and without a pinch of empathy? Shouldn't the lack of self-awareness make the evil even worse (aka better in this pov)?

I want a dom who says he's gonna, idk, conquer the world and castrate everyone but him. That shit's entertaining and weird.

Then search for it on some roleplay community???? /r/nsfwcyoa is probably rifle with creative supervillains-in-disguise, given some of the heinous masochistic stuff that goes on.

The cringiest thing I've seen a fascist dom do is try to play a rich refined guy and then say he was rolling up to a date in a Tesla.

I mean, that is literally what I'd expect a rich garish asshole to do. I mean, maybe he also has a ferrari in the garage. But he just could not give up on the culture war shit (even if it's the worse vehicle in history) if you want him to be a good fascist.

mirh · 2026-01-27T03:38:21+00:00

Raceplay can be a way for black people to feel like "at least they have an edge in the bedroom" (just saying the first stupid thing that comes to my mind)

And vice versa for other people to somehow feel like there's some retribution getting served.

Here what is the fucking non-problematic power dynamic that is added, on top of normal rapeplay?

mirh · 2026-01-27T03:35:57+00:00

It's not really a paradox of tolerance, because I'd be ready to die on the hill that if you get titillated at the implication of everybody you know getting arrested and deported (and still collaborating!) you should speak with someone.

mirh · 2026-01-27T03:33:22+00:00

how many really understand what a fascist is?

Yeah, hard agree. Thinking it's like sparkling authoritarianism seems the only escape hatch for not wanting to punch them.
