People Are Getting Off to Porn About ICE Raids

@MagaGodJ blocked my personal account after WIRED made a request for comment.

In a video from July 10, OnlyFans creator Master Joe wears a red MAGA hat while kicking and taunting one of his submissives, who is white and dressed in a “Harris-Walz 24” T-shirt. “Dumb fucking liberal,” MasterJoe says in the video, which he promoted on X as “SLAVE BEATING VIDEO 8 MIN LONG 50% OFF TODAY ONLY. ($50).”

Several of the accounts promoting MAGA porn also post about incest, fetishize misogyny, and attempt to normalize rape. The pages are often tagged with telltale signs such #ILBAB (I love being a boy) and #BWC (big white cock) in their bios, with some referring to masturbation as “h8 b8ting.”

Others poke fun at the idea of women having no autonomy over their body and the end of DEI. “Just fired the last black on our team. She begged to keep her job, talking about how she has kids to feed. See you at the McDonalds drive thru bitch,” one post reads. Attached is a video depicting a man climaxing in his work clothes. “Black lives only matter when they suck white cock,” says another.

X did not respond to a request for comment.

But perhaps the emergence of such accounts isn’t entirely surprising. After ownership changes in 2022, X embraced a more laissez-faire approach to moderation, becoming a hub for conservative and right-wing commentators. Adult creators who rely heavily on X for promotion suddenly found themselves operating in a feed where political discourse, and particularly conservative media, was much more prominent.

One editor of a gooner music video page on X tells WIRED he gets requests from MAGA porn creators to have their work featured in his widely shared clips. “You’d see [these pages] once upon a time, and they were irrelevant. They’d have like 10 followers. Now they have much bigger audiences,” he says. “People are always asking me to make a MAGA edit and I always tell them no, because I don’t want any of that mess over here. I just think those people are fucking morons.” (The editor asked that WIRED not publish his name because he doesn’t want to be associated with the trend.)

While eroticized racism and dom/sub relationships have a long history in the adult entertainment industry, the framing around them online has been updated to reflect current pro-MAGA messaging, much of it made all the more explicit for our pornified internet era.

According to Whitney Strub, an associate professor at Rutgers University-Newark and author of Perversion for Profit: The Politics of Pornography and the Rise of the New Right, Trump’s MAGA movement has always depended on white-nationalist politics that respond to racial fears with displays of masculine strength.

“Fascist sexual politics tend toward the sadomasochistic—the dominance of the master race combined with the submissiveness to the authoritarian and the cuckold fantasies that are rarely far from the surface of conspiracy theories,” he says, citing the alt-right’s Great Replacement theory, which argues that falling white birth rates combined with mass immigration from non-white countries will eventually erase the so-called native white population.

Strub adds that the cruelty on display echoes the violent sexual catharsis that is typical in Nazi and white-nationalist propaganda. “These MAGA sex accounts strike me as the next stage of those trajectories, filtered through the ironypilled sensibilities of Something Awful, 4chan, and groyper meme culture.”

To Josh, the appeal of MAGA-themed porn is pretty simple.

“We value free speech, so we don’t care what your opinions or kinks are as long as they aren’t liberal,” he says. “Patriotism is sexy. Why wouldn’t I be attracted to hot guys who share my views?”
