108: The Rise of Right-Wing Confrontation Porn

Content Warning: This episode includes audio clips that contain derogatory and racist language. Listener discretion is advised.

Maybe you've heard of the mustachioed guy in a cowboy hat who hurls racist slurs at strangers, or the one who dresses as the Joker to recite FBI crime statistics at Black people on chat websites. Believe it or not, these are real adult men who not only exist but profit from what we're calling "confrontation porn": a genre built around angering or horrifying people through open displays of bigotry or sadism.

"Chud the Builder" — the online handle of Dalton Eatherly — was a rising star of the genre until he shot a man. That's where this episode picks up. Eatherly now faces serious legal trouble stemming from his racist stunts, and fellow online bigots have raised more than a quarter of a million dollars for his defense. We also look at another figure in the genre who helped lead that fundraising effort: Paul Miller, aka "GypsyCrusader," known for harassing strangers while performing an array of personas, including one he calls "Racist Mario."

It’s a tough world out there in 2026, and some of us might to have to “fight for free.”
