Absolutely don't kink shame. But when a person's political affiliation actively kink shames and marginalizes all people not cis heteronormative, the gloves are off.
From what I understand they've been basically estranged for several years and certainly she's been enjoying the world's least secret affair with her chief of staff since at least 2021 so I'm a bit wary of assigning her political positions to him.
Is that something that her husband has been known to do? Admittedly, I don't know much about Noem, nor her husband, but I didn't think he was the one making this a hypocritical situation.
He apparently has a thing for huge boobs, including his own:
Without agreeing or disagreeing, I’m just pointing out that the person you replied to didn’t say that these individuals kink-shamed, but that their political affiliation does. The contention seems to be that kink shaming is fine as long as you do it to Republicans, because their party is not accepting or respectful of the spectrum of human diversity.
One might also ask, if someone has this kink but they are not Republican, should they also feel shame because of this?
Yes that’s a fair question. I think it’s hard for a leftist bystander not to feel shamed. Similarly, we don’t hurl sexism at Republican women just because their platform tends to be anti-woman. Like I said, I am not agreeing with the contention, just explicating. If anyone asked my opinion, I would say that disagreeing with Republicans doesn’t make everything permitted. But then there are those who consider them Nazis and bring out the whole “punching Nazis” thing.
