In the wake of the public killings of multiple US citizens, protestors, and legal observers in recent weeks by immigration agents in Minneapolis, January 26, 2025 marked a watershed moment for r/FuckingFascists: they will no longer allow content or roleplay featuring ICE.
The Reddit community r/FuckingFascists is for people with a kink for roleplaying sex with fascists. The subreddit’s description explicitly states that the sub is “about making porn or making fun of authoritarians. REAL FASCISTS, SEXISTS, HOMOPHOBES, TRANSPHOBES AND OTHER BIGOTS ARE NOT WELCOME HERE!,” and “Rule 1: No Fascists”.
On Monday morning, moderator LilyDHM announced a complete ban of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) content in the sub. “No ICE related content will be allowed in kink posts,” the post reads. “We believe that this is the best option to allow people to still post MAGA content without touching this particular aspect of it, as it directly involves current politics and multiple lost lives.”
The ban comes after several weeks of heightened debate over ICE-related fantasizing on the sub. The discussion apparently came to a head on Sunday when r/FuckingFascists moderator PigSlut182 made a public post in the community, asking “At what point are we complicit?” and suggesting that the sub be completely shut down.
r/FuckingFascists is not the only porn subreddit that has stepped up its political engagement. As reported by The Verge, dick-pic-sharing sub r/MassiveCock came out hard against ICE over the weekend. The sub featured posts like “How hard I get when I think about abolishing ICE” and “ICE can fucking suck it”, accompanied by pictures of huge dicks. Some big-dick-enjoyers seem to have taken offense to the intrusion of politics into their sub, while others have encouraged it, like user BeSG24 who commented on one post: “LickCockNotBoot.” And across Reddit, as reported by Wired, the top posts in many of the most popular non-political subreddits such as r/CrossStich and r/catbongos (as in, playful drumming on cats) are anti-ICE posts.
PigSlut182’s post explained that the amount and intensity of immigration-related and other content in the sub had made it “seemingly clear… that a majority of our users likely are bigots, assholes, authoritarians and bootlickers who are just clever enough to avoid being overt and getting banned.”
Although they acknowledged that their views might not represent the rest of the mod team, PigSlut182 said that they were considering petitioning to kill the sub. “I'm tired of catering to you ingrate, inbred MAGA incel hicks, against my better wishes and judgement,” they said.
The comments and opinions on PigSlut182’s thread were split, with some users saying that the sub was just roleplay, and that people should be trusted to differentiate between porn and reality, and others agreeing that limits should be set. User _Sanctityy said that they believed there were real fascists using the sub. “They're hiding in the faceless up votes of maga posts, the baseless pushes for less safety and critical thinking, and the insecure downvoting and attacking of anti-fascist posts like the pussies they are,” they said. “The posts don't feel the same unless I purposefully shut off the part of my brain that wants to check in with neighbors and prepare my friends…Anything with any mention of trump feels disgusting especially if it's about his recent actions or another term.”
The community took a no-kink “aftercare” period of consultation and reflection, in response to the January 7 death of Renee Good, who was shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross while in her car. That pause seems to have been an era of introspection which resulted, 10 days ago, in an announcement of stricter moderation going forward, and a rule that users should “stick to general themes, rather than explicit current events when creating content.” At that point, fantasy and discussing the sexual thrill of potential immigration enforcement was still ok, according to the announcement: “Talking about deportation or fear of ICE is acceptable. Talking about anything related to any of the people who have been murdered by ICE, is not.” To deal with that change in restrictions, the sub would be taking applications for more moderators.
A look through older posts in the sub shows users exploring the sexual dynamics of fascism with posts about wanting to be “thrown in the back of a van,” or abusing the power of an immigration agent while “negotiating with the families.” Many posts are called things like “I hope that a maga man and women will finally conquer me.” The users and mods of r/FuckingFascists clearly face what might be an impossible challenge: differentiating between people engaging in fantasy and roleplay, and actual Nazis enjoying the freedom to post sexualized fascist content.
