KinkVision Presents: The Why We’re Gagging Ball - Part 2

Nat and Kevin continue The Why We're Gagging Ball with the following categories: Captured Executive Realness, Hate the Game, Tie Up a Player, and Captured by the Screen.

In Fetishism and Culture: A Different Theory of Modernity, Hartmut Böhme explains how everything and everyone in modern society can be considered fetishes or fetishists because of the prevalence of materialistic and consumerist culture. So, even though kinksters likely understand our fetishes as sexual, people with fixations, superstitions, and rituals that are more accepted in the normative world could be other kinds of fetishists because mass culture breeds fetishism.
This relates to how ballroom categories reflect performances that appear acceptable to the heteronormative world because members perform and get evaluated on how well they imitate the mainstream world within a queer space. Both gear kinksters and ballroom members seem to not only fetishize the clothing and enactment that goes into walking a category, but also fetishize the very idea of fitting into the mainstream world. This serves as a reclamation of privileges that haven't been granted by the normative world because kink sessions and ballrooms grant marginalized queers the opportunity to take part in normative roles or ideologies without persecution.
At the very least, kinksters aren't the only ones who exhibit fetishistism or perversion.
Marlon M. Bailey, Butch Queens Up in Pumps: Gender, Performance, and Ballroom Culture in Detroit was a main source for this episode.
