Ashley Feinberg marvels at the hate-watching obsession du jour for America’s white supremacists: a teen show where white and black kids coexist. Welcome to 2015!
This objectively insane theory has been slowly gaining steam amongst the various ultra-conservative, ultra-racist, right-wing message boards scattered across the internet. So, inevitably, it ended up on The Daily Stormer, a blog born of the aggressively racist and unfortunately thriving message-board Stormfront.
The Daily Stormer posted the body of the petition, which “asks Nickelodeon to stop marketing cuckold fetishism, as well as other forms of sexual fetishism (foot fetishism, for example) to children.” But because petitions can only do so much, the online, pro-eugenics equivalent of a poorly produced zine also asks readers to troll and harass these child actors, forcing them “to explain why they are a part of this sickening production.”
So now, white supremacists are doing everything in their power to get the show cancelled—which essentially translate to making a whole bunch of shitty YouTube videos and poorly-produced images.
What is it with “cuckolding?” The gulf between what bigots say and what people understand has often taken the shape of this bizarre word lately. Few insults say so little about the target, while saying so much about the utterer’s own sexual obsessions.
