Fetish Political Compass

[@yopeh2859]

To be fair, I think the thing with ageplay is more about a relation between Auth-Domination rather than a "taboo to my side thing". I mean, stuff like daddy and all that are more correlated with the implicit themes of domination. Also the P tag exists and isn`t centered in the auth axis as much as in the right axis. Great motivational video J-rooge!

[@piss4429]

i would assume its to do with authoritarians (esp authright) being more willing to take advantage of power dynamics. contrasts pretty heavily with anarchist ideas of breaking down power and preventing exploitation.

I think a big reason that the fetishes on the conservative side are more disgust based could very well be caused by the much higher religiosity of that demographic. A very large amount of religious beliefs center around the idea of sex being sinful and thus immortal outside of specific circumstances. I could imagine that to someone who was raised with that view of sexuality "disgust play" as a general category would feel like a natural way to make sex more intense. Just a thought based on the additional correlation between conservatism and religion.

[@doryx3129]

Its like a slingshot where pulling = resistance and how far it goes = how extreme the fetish is

It depends on the context of the raceplay.

You have any idea how many people in the far right worship east asians? Because if you didn't, you do now. Even people who identify as white nationalists or even white supremacists keep going for east asian girls.

[@agx8447]

You have to remember that in all these cases the correlation was weak. The strongest correlation was r=0.12, meaning that the independent variable (political beliefs) only accounted for roughly 1.4% of the variation in that specific fetish. A strong correlation is when r=0.5, or when the independent variable accounts for at least 25% of the variation. This likely means that there are extremists on either side that do have this kind of “fetish by hate”, but this data cannot be used to draw any kind of hard conclusions on either side as the correlation is not strong enough to be representative of a large number of the given population. When she says the data has a high confidence it means a high probability (usually over 95%) that the observed correlation exists and is not a product of chance. So there’s a high likelyhood that political belief does explain 1.4% of the variation in one of the fetishes, but it doesn’t mean the correlation itself is strong.

Two: The more taboo options have less picks, so if only one person selected being a dirty pedo, wherever they put themselves on the chart is where it sticks, with no other datapoints to pull the dot.

@@Zaher74 Sometimes people don't want to admit this stuff even to themselves, (and sometimes they don't know) so it'd still be an issue (and that would make problem number 1 a lot worse) A lot of sciences, specifically psychology, have a lot of trouble with studies that contain human participants, because things like lying and pride exists, where in other species, it's not likely that they even really understand the full extent of what's happening when a study is taking place.

Corn exists, and humans are typically hormonal enough (generalization) to identify a specific fetish, if not in practice then through second hand exposure or online research. A lot of fetishes can just develop naturally through personal experiences or in response to things we’re exposed to or traumatized by and we can either find ways to engage in them safely with other consenting adults, or just not act on them. As for the pdf thing, yeah it was a pretty weird inclusion for this kind of study, but I guess the argument there is that by technical definition pdfillia does involve the fetishization of minors so in that way it can be classified as a type of fetish. I wouldn’t put too much thought on it though since I don’t think either of these two are experts on sexual health or the scientific method.

"Left wing people like dirtiness because it isn't taboo, making it taboo to them and therefore more attractive".

Woah, I love that you even interviewed Aella! This fetish tabooness/popularity chart has been one of my favorite plots for quite some time and I have shared it with so many friends. And relating it to political ideology is quite fascinating as well. After all, when you have any kind of kink (just like the word says), you can feel somehow "out of the ordinary" - some more, some less, depending on how taboo it is. So there's this duality and this tension between "feeling accepted" (being confident with your kink and having people around you who are also into it) and "feeling not accepted" (and being secretive or shameful about it). And then there are political ideologies: Just like with a kink, any kind of ideology can either make you feel left out, because you feel that "you are different from everyone around you", or it makes you feel an incredible sense of connection of having found "your people". I think the world would benefit a lot when people will realize that, when it comes to the human need for social connections, political ideologies and fetishes are really similar. Because in both cases, the more you feel this duality, the more extreme it will get. At the same time, of course kinks are incredibly deeply engrained in someone's being. While many, at least when they are reflected people, can retrace which aspects of their upbringing led to which political ideology, that's so much harder with kinks. But obviously people who are on any end of the political spectrum and who are "against" the other end are not reflected, because their fundamental doctrine is opposition instead of unity. Now, when kinks enter the picture, suddenly ideological people are confronted with this paradox in their being, just like you mentioned about dirtiness, ageplay etc.: They start identifying more and more with this inner fight between their political ideology and their kinks, but instead of working on themselves and aiming to find peace of mind, they shut down any intention to unify these opposing forces within them and start projecting that fight outwards and do even more collateral damage to everyone around them. What I'm essentially saying: Many, many extremists from any end of the spectrum would eventually benefit heavily from sexual healing and resolving sexual repression within themselves. Of course some kinks can certainly be problematic, but the *root* of these problems always lays in unresolved emotional or psychological conflicts. So just like with politicians, we can either "lock them up" and hope that the problem will go away (even though obviously it won't) or we address them with compassion and understanding, helping them confront and integrate these parts of themselves to reduce the destructive impact of repression on both their personal and political lives.

I have my doubts with the whole "age does not define political view". I think there's a good chance that she simply attracted a mainly younger demographic, which made it appear as though there was no correlation between age and political view, when in reality there weren't enough older people taking the test to really draw any definitive conclusions.

[@ProcrastinationHyperfocus]

Yep. Self-selection bias doesn't just mean 'self-selecting in ways that you're trying to measure in the study, or ways that you're aware of and are actively trying to mitigate from appearing in your study group.' E.g. this has a strong self-selection for the kinds of habitual internet users that would fill out a survey as this one. If that group of people has any leanings that mean they aren't a perfect scatter of both political spectrum, and of sexual fetish interests, then that's just one extra factor that can distort the results.

[@liarwithagun]

@@ProcrastinationHyperfocus I'd say any kind of internet poll will be at least a little skewed because the internet isn't perfectly representative of the wider population. So while I wouldn't try and make any certain claims/beliefs about anything this survery might tell us, it could make for an interesting first step to see if there is anything to this idea.

[@snkybrki]

Age does not define political view, but older people were raised in a wildly different world than the young. And I reckon the majority of your core is formed as child.

[@kd8663]

Studies outside of this particular one also back up the idea that age does not correlate with political view, though. There's a very slight tendency that the older you are, the more conservative you are. That seems to be the consistent conclusion in several studies.

[@gummy5862]

People just tend to be more conservative as they age; it’s a fact of life. To deny that is just wrong.

[@Ephringael]

The idea that the more something is repressed making something more attractive appears in Jungian psychology as well, embodied in the idea of the shadow. Rejection and repression and on the other side of the spectrum, overindulgence in the trait associated with the shadow risking it presenting in the Ego. The Novel "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"'s core premise is essentially this concept.

Maybe it's cos I haven't studied the graph long enough, but what seems interesting to me is that the Right fetishes seemed to be antithetical to Right ideologies, while the Left fetishes tended to be more consistent with Left ideologies. In that sense it makes sense that vore ended up on the left side of the graph on both genders - there's no more literal way to enact "from each according to his ability to each according to his need" than literally feeding yourself to someone. Does anyone else think this tracks? Or am I overlooking something?

[@dougthedonkey1805]

I think you’re getting at something. My take was that liblefts are generally more accepting of their identities, whilst authrights are more repressed and afraid to confront themselves. This would make leftist fetishes hot to them simply because they enjoy it, whilst right wing fetishes are hot to them because they’re repressing their true identities and that suppression is what fuels their attraction. Just a leftist’s warped view of the world, though, so take it with a grain of salt :)

[@zekun4741]

@@dougthedonkey1805 many of the fetishes on the list are quite extreme, so I would say they are relatively rare among the general population in those political groups. the right wing is generally about order, hierarchy and traditional gender roles. it seems to me that right wing fetishes are either traditional gender power dynamics taken to the extreme, or they are the reversal of those roles. men dominating women and women dominating men shows up on the far left, probably because they see men and women as equal and so there is a taboo around traditional dynamics, men will feel ashamed of wanting to dominate women, women will feel ashamed of wanting to be dominated. most men prefer dominating and most women prefer submission, so the right just follows what's natural, it's the left which would be ashamed of being attracted to those "old fashioned" dynamics, so there is a taboo surrounding it. likewise, the left also probably recognises that men and women are not equal physically, so women dominating men is also taboo, even though if men and women are equal then it shouldn't be taboo, it should be normal. so i would say it's the left which suppresses most of their true feelings and turn them into taboos.

[@merelvdm7316]

@@zekun4741 tbh i agree with the first part of your comment but i don’t think that the left enjoys females dominating because the men are ashamed to be dominant, but rather that because they see the genders as equal, it is accepted to be into women dominating. i also don’t think there is a taboo surrounding traditional values at all, they aren’t scared of traditional values, they just wish that people have a choice in wether to practice them or not due to various negative consequences it can have for some people

[@eolendes6432]

Vore is not necessarily a "submission" act, rather a powerplay fantasy in itself- You can be predator or prey in it. You can fantasize about feeding yourself to someone both as a willing prey or force feed yourself to an unwilling predator. Point being, in the powerplay regarding vore, Prey and Predator don't always mean "Submissive" and "Dominant" respectively. You can have "submissive" predators and "dominant" prey aswell.

[@ArturoSubutex]

This study is pretty limiting. It should include all the tags on nhentai. Some of these fetishes seem like they might have multiple meanings. So if all the tags from nhentai could be used, this study would find some fun things. And one other big problem: this study is assuming that there aren't people on different and specific points that are interests in similar or the exact same fetishes. These are my main criticisms.

You shouldn't take this compass seriously, but I think it does speak to something about how different political circles handle sex Lib left/right internet circles are always really open about being kinky and wanting to get choked or dommed, which is perfectly reflected in the compass. Auth right/left on the other hand constantly talks about fighting "degeneracy" and calling their opponents p*dos, while simultaneously having the most taboo shit on the table

[@user-co7fo]

Well, you had scandals until today where left leaning Parties (labour, Bündnis 90, Kenteler Experiment) were supporting or trying to drum up support for pedophilia. It surprised me that these fetishes are apparently more often to occur on the right.

[@user-co7fo]

But you also have these scandals in the catholic church, but under the rug. So maybe on the conservative spectrum, you have these kinks, but they try to supress them (because it is degeneracy, and they are more likely to classify sth. as such). In the left, you have a more open advocacy for pedophilia, as they are less likely to classify sth. as degenerate. Thus, pdos on the right are closeted, while on the libleft are more open about it.

It's nice to know who I have to blame for the copious amount of race bait :^) But that does make me ask; does this have a US bias, or is this representative cross culturally? I assumed the race thing was largely fuelled by the US and it's cancerous politics

[@nix4110]

Obviously raceplay as it is commonly understood only exists because of the US's situation. But there's probably foreign equivalents insofar as those foreign countries have the existence of race.
