Why did the Nazis wear those Tom of Finland style gay BDSM hats? Was there a thriving gay subculture in Nazi Germany?
>>18506508Egg came before the chicken. The uniform fetish of the gay community (which I want to note, is not just a stapble in the gay community, it's also popular in femdom) stemmed from the nazis, not the other way around. Furthermore, gay subculture was not the only one who liked the nazi aesthetic, punk subcultures, many musical groups, Schwarze Szene... also took heavy inspiration from the nazis. Just to name a few I am fond to: Death in June, Nachmahr, Wumpscut, the Surf Nazis from California, Radio Werwolf and nazi Punk.
There's a huge nazi fetish scene in Israel as well.
>>18506515Yes, nazi punk sure was inspired by nazi aesthetic, and other things
>>18506521Why else the name?
>>18506515The aesthetics of Nazism were influenced by homosexuals too. The Brownshirt uniform was devised by Gerhard Roßbach, who was gay. The influence of homosexual right-wing thinkers like Stefan George and Hans Blüher on Nazism are also important. And the whole Greek classicist vibe. The Roman salute was first used by D’Annunzio’s Arditi, who cultivated martial homosexuality. There was Ernst Röhm. Etc.

>Karl Gustav Ernst (1 September 1904 – 30 June 1934) was an SA-Gruppenführer who, from March 1933, was the SA commander in Berlin. Prior to joining the Nazi Party, he had been a hotel bellhop and a bouncer at gay nightclubs.[1] He was one of the chief participants in the extrajudicial execution of Albrecht Höhler. Ernst was himself extrajudicially executed in the Night of the Long Knives.
>>18506531>The Brownshirt uniform was devised by Gerhard Roßbach, who was gayWasn't it just leftover Army uniforms for the desert?
>>18506515Don’t forget bikers. I always assumed the pipeline went Nazi to Marlon Brando in The Wild One to gay bdsm leather daddies. Funny how post WWII American biker gangs came from disgruntled vets who took up the symbols of their former enemies.
>>18506738A lot of the time that's actually a trophy thing.You display the symbol of an enemy you have defeated as kind of a self aggrandizement thing, kind of like a reminder of your foe and overcoming him.Kind of like a scalp.You'll see street gangs do this sometimes.
