Conservative areas are more religious, and Christianity uses sexual shame and repression as a control mechanism. A trans attracted Christian is trained to hate them but still think trans people are attractive.
I think this is true for a lot of prejudices. Pron sites have released data showing deep red states where one might imagine more racist people live searching for interracial videos.
Yes, it's true in some cases.
It's not really that surprising. Just as there are straight men who are misogynist there are people who are attracted to femboys, trans people, and/or other gender nonconforming people who hold prejudices against the same group. It's massively oversimplifying human psychology to think it just comes down to a single linear axis of like/dislike. For some people, it might be that simple, but it's not always the case.
Take the song Hellfire and replace Esmeralda with a femboy, everything else can stay the same.
Instead of simply accepting that one might be attracted to a spectrum of different kinds of people, they immediately feel internal guilt, directed outwards as hatred, because it might give them some sort of label they've been trained to despise.
Everything is fetishized by the right, especially the things they claim to hate.
So much temptation, I must ban EVERYTHING that makes me horny!!!
I think it was Jesus that said, "It's better to ban an entire nation from existing than it is to work out your own sexuality with fear and trembling".
Mega Frollo energy
Yup, as a trans person I have personally experienced this
I mean it's the logical conclusion of "everything the right says is projection"
If a right winger wants to ban something you can find as a category on pornhub, that's what they've been clicking.
I think femininity itself is the more fetishized component, so it just means the femboy is successfully femming.
Especially when you consider how right wingers tend to interpret gender roles.
Depends what he means by that. Are some right-wingers fetishizing femboys? Yeah. Can we generalize this to apply to all right-wingers as people have tendency to do with this sort of things? No. Turns out that people are individuals and they have different preferences. Shocker.
I don't think it's widespread or mainstream, but speaking as a femboy, we are fetishized a lot in general. Even normal people often just assume I'm hyperhorny, like the only reason I'm femmodeing is because I want cock. The creepy part about the right-wingers is they see us as "failed males" and specifically get off on the idea of asserting their dominance over us. There's also a lot of dehumanizing and degradation that I see those types engaging in, beyond the typical "slut" that normal people do. They want to sexually abuse and violate femboys to feel better about their own fragile masculinity.
I'm very glad I live in a solid blue state and can go out safely, I think if I lived in a right-wing state I wouldn't feel safe going femmode outside.
What is a femboy honestly? A straight? feminine man?
Just an effeminate man. I don't know if sexuality has much to do with it, but I'd say the majority of femboys are gay/bi with a minority being strictly heterosexual. To be real blunt, imagine the exact inverse of a tomboy, and you're probably pretty close to a femboy. I like some p girly things, I like to wear skirts and dresses, but I also have a masculine side to me.
Femboys don't even need the right-wingers' help at all. They fetishize themselves and it is in of itself a fetish. I would know given by the amount of furry porn that encircles around femboys in general. And unfortunately, they are some of the loudest and pretend all femboys want to just be cock-slaves and cock-sleeves.
I don't love the take "men dressing feminine is a fetish." Are tomboys a fetish? Just because some people choose to engage in fetish and also are femboys doesn't make it "in and of itself" a fetish. It isn't.
Hey, blame the ones who're louder about it, I didn't fetishize them. Go talk to the furries first.
I'll pass
I don't know if I would call it fetishizing, as much as it is denying their own homosexual desires because a lot of right-wingers are sexually repressed homosexuals.
"It's not gay if they look like a girl" basically.
I think it's more like, "I'm not gay if a guy sucks my dick, but I'm gay if I suck his."
To Republicans, being "gay" and giving pleasure are submissive, non-masculine traits that go hand in hand. It's why they are so hesitant to go down on a woman, even though it would not be gay for a man to do so.
Oh yeah, the most radical and anti lgbtq people tend to jerk off to boipussy feminine penises and rape other men. No, to them this is not gay.
Yes entirety of 4chan is deficated to femboys and russian army training involves forced male on male intercourse as hazing.
The term ammosexuals comes up alot, and yes they festishize everything because they are so sexually repressed and frustrated.
Just saw a dude dumping used motor oil on his lawn exclaiming about being proud or "dgaf" about libs, on Reddit. People snooped his profile briefly and found out he was a big fan of showing his butthole and trying to find weird sexual encounters.
I think it's true that any conservative is part of the party cause they are repressed.
I think it’s true that any conservative is part of the party cause they are repressed.
Every conservative i know personally is ultra repressed, so at least anecdotally, this tracks.
I've met some that were malleable, but the moment I brought up some gay shit (I'm cis het btw) they shut the fuck up.
I wish I was who I am now in grade school.
Yes - there is a lot that has been written about the homoeroticism of fascist movements. For years, it’s been a meme that “traps aren’t gay.” Nick Fuentes has sex with submissive puppy boys or something.
Fascism is libidinal. The Nazis who tortured gay men in concentration camps were also very eager to have sex with them. It goes back to Roman or even Bronze Age sexual mores, where sex is an act of aggression and as long as the “superior” is in the penetrative role, then it is okay.
Kinks transcend political ideology. Roger Stone was famously into getting cuckold.
Imagine you're a horrible misogynist who has the drive to have sex with a woman, but you don't like the idea of actually having to touch one. If only there was something feminine but not a woman. Something that could understand a man in the way only a man can, but at the same time is not quite as strong and powerful as a man...
....a couch!
He probably has a point.

They definitely are, although the most fetishized thing by them is black bulls cucking white men. Seems easy enough to see their criteria is things that flare up their enormous sexual insecurity. Femboys stuff fits that criteria for some of them.
They're about as fetishized as cuckolding is in right wing circles. The way those dorks toss that term around tells me enough to know that a lot of them are harboring a deep-seated desire to watch some dude rail their wives like they never could.
Yeah for sure lol. It's kinda the end level of misogyny + toxic competive masculinity + extreme hetero sexual ideation. What else comes from that combo than "forcing weaker men to replace the role of women for your own desires"?
