ort Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Atlanta shooting suspect attended rehab for sex addiction, felt 'remorse and shame,' former roommates say WWW.FOXNEWS.COM The suspect charged with eight murders after attacks on several Atlanta-area massage parlors had attended rehab for sex addiction and felt extreme guilt about his sexual urges, two former roommates said. And we're off folks... Fox News is going all in on the sex addict stuff. This is their current big lead story. Yesterday, they weren't highlighting this story at all. One of their 5 featured main articles was them bitching and moaning about how some liberal writer was spinning the story, but not the actual story itself.

CayceG Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 When I have time I'll talk about this idea of "sex addiction" (which isn't real) and how pervasive it is in evangelical spaces, and what that means for people. But I think we all know now what at least one of the affects of that canard is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 We're starting to tread into weird territory. I think it is very possible to be more attracted to people of a certain race and not have that be a form of racism. It's also possible for the attraction to come from some very dark and weird places... so yeah, people are complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem is there can be a really thin line between "I tend to like certain types of features" (which is what I think the non-racist version of "I tend to be more attracted to certain races" boils down to) and the racist version of what we're talking about.

Fizzzzle Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Yeah. I mentioned in another thread how we had a work place incident when one of my coworkers called another one racist because she said she only dates white guys. You get into murky territory there. Sometimes it's just who you're attracted to, which is a chemical part of your brain that you can't help; it's who you are. Sometimes it comes from a "forbidden fruit" mentality. You want it because it feels exotic and dangerous. And the thing is, those two aren't mutually exclusive, it can be both. But when it veers more into the latter territory, it is absolutely racist. The thing is BOTH of those things can lead to negative outcomes when their society deems something wrong. Think of how many vehemently homophobic people are secretly gay. In most cases, that isn't coming from a place of fetishism, it's just who they are and they're ashamed of it, so they lash out at others. In having an 'other race' fetish, it comes from a place of racism already (thinking of someone as 'other' or 'exotic' etc), but that can be really confusing to the psyche of an already racist person. And most racists have very, very fragile minds. Racism itself is an exercise in cognitive dissonance, it's like your entire worldview is a stack of cards. When things no make sense get mad hit stuff make go boom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that it can lead to increased interaction with those whom you deem lesser. Unless you're a sociopath, that leads to a lot of confusing feelings when your world view is built on a lie. That can be incredibly dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I wasn’t generally attracted to brown Latin women prior to when my wife and I dated, but I think my fondness of Latin culture expanded greatly due to our marriage and I definitely find Latin women more attractive than other race/ethnic groups as I get older. I’m not sure the line between that and the sort of thoughts that lead to murdering 8 people is THAT fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema- Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 There are fetishes that have nothing to do with race that are unhealthy, or that have healthy and unhealthy manifestations. Indeed I think talking about his mass murder from this perspective only shows how there was nothing healthy about his regard for women. We don't have to talk about everything from an abstract perspective, this asshole killed eight people. I don't think saying his issue wasn't harmless is that much of a stretch.

I’m not sure the line between that and the sort of thoughts that lead to murdering 8 people is THAT fine The difference is you're approaching it from a positive direction - you have humanized their culture to a point where it feels like home. From the OTHER direction, i.e. it starts as something that feels wrong or dangerous and you get off on that, that's where the problems start. You feel bad about yourself for wanting it, and that makes you lash out. When you've been taught your whole life, subliminally or not, that other races or sexes are inferior, and you find that you are attracted to them, that can have dangerous consequences in people that already have fragile world views (almost every racist).
