My friend Charlie Martin might be doing a VIP column series about "space porn," as he calls it, where he displays some of the coolest pictures to come from the Hubble and Webb Telescopes and other means of capturing the glory of the cosmos, but today I am doing a short piece on a less grand but certainly more worldly and prevalent phenomenon known as "oppression porn."
By that, I mean the insane fanfiction leftists tell themselves will happen if Donald Trump wins in about ten days and returns to the White House in January 2025.
You know, the hysteria the Democrat-media complex have been whipping up about Project 2025 and similar wackiness about minorities, gay, and transgender people being exterminated, women being turned into broodmares, and mass shootings being an everyday occurrence or something.
Here are some examples pulled from X:

Of course, oppression porn is nothing new. After all, my friend Athena Thorne recently referred to Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" as a "dystopian rape fantasy," a comparison that has not gone unnoticed by others (just look up "handmaid's tale rape fantasy" on X).
Other examples include Jordan Peele's films "Us" and "Get Out," in addition to last year's "American Society of Magical Negroes," which of course are specifically about race.
Of course, the excitement of such fantasies of oppression does not necessarily have to be sexual, but the effect is almost the same. It feels good to imagine yourself as a brave rebel or dissident in a world specifically designed to be everything you are afraid will happen in real life, even if it does not have to actually make sense internally or externally.
What makes the prevalence of oppression porn on the left so much more disturbing is how it is embraced by the mainstream, as mentioned above. The Democrat-media complex regularly hypes up anything the right does as the emergence of the Fourth Reich, the Republic of Gilead, Airstrip One, or whatever dystopia you prefer right before our very eyes.
Sure, fear is the most common emotion invoked when trying to persuade people, and the right invokes fear in its voters as well, but the weird, almost sexualized nature of being oppressed by the left is almost nonexistent.
When was the last time you saw a conservative work of fiction involving a person living in a world where all the worst aspects of the left came true that caught on to the same level as stuff like The Handmaid's Tale?
