What just happened?

My partner and I were out for an evening constitutional. Lovely night, cackling to ourselves after having watched "One Man's Trash" yet again. Sparkly on margarita and a good dinner.

We were heading home, crossing the road to maintain social distance. Mid-street, a hwh-ite man carrying a bag of golf clubs crossed towards us, clearly and repeatedly saying, "Fagmaster. Fagmaster," but walking right past. My partner says "Faggotmaster" was the third iteration, and now we're both doubting reality.

I am wearing lowcut overalls, chapstick femme dyke aesthetics, tbf, but my (male) partner looks straight as a t-square, so I don't even know. What?!

For inevitable need:

    I should give context; it's actually not far from a golf course. 5-10 minute walk from where we were, but an odd choice of route, if using said course.

    I do not know golf well enough to discern, sorry.

    One night recently I've heard someone walking down the street outside my apartment complex just shouting, very angrily, the combined words of "wet" and "back."

    Didn't do anything else, just loudly yelling the same word over and over again as he walked down the middle of the street at night. Los Angeles be wilding I guess.

    This is 8 years old already, so not exactly fresh. But that show feels like someone poured the late 90s over me. Reminds me of LoveLine and Man Show.

    We once paused to look in the window of a jewellery shop, there was also a very smart looking business woman stood there with a briefcase. She looked up at us and said "Get away from me you horrible cunts" and stormed off.

    A classmate got REALLY into 300 when it came out, and invited me to his Spartan group, a men-only club that would drive out to the woods, strip down to their underwear and play with replica swords and sleepover in a big tent. When I turned him down he called me gay.

    Makes perfect sense. They were just a bunch of oiled up naked men wrestling and sleeping together. Thats about as straight as it gets

    they were unfortunately violently homophobic, and at the time I wasn't out as a bisexual. it was a weird vibe, since they also like... frequently talked about their group masturbation sessions? but then mentioned that they did it while looking at straight porn, so it didn't count

    also while it was supposed to be goofy fun, one of the dudes took things way too seriously and tried to like organize drills and training schedules, and wanted to start doing corporal punishment for "betas who betrayed the legion"

    many years later i looked up that same dude and he had gotten big into the "men going their own way" movement, had done an unsuccessful run as a libertarian for a provincial parliamentary seat, and has now been charged in some kind of ongoing MLM/crypto fraud thing

    that story reminds me of how someone in my LARP circles a decade ago tried touting the local neo-fascist Viking-wannabe fight club as "just guys being dudes" and I was like, no, there's literally neo-fascist emblems and the term "folkish" all over these guys' shit my good dude

    edit: oh yeah it was these guys, albeit like three or four years before they really became infamous as out Neo-Nazis https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolves_of_Vinland

    I feel like it has strong implications of "back to the way things used to be (in my idealized white washed fantasy version of history)" that could make it so.
    But, it's hard to keep up with the latest of racist dog whistles. Is Pepe the frog still racist? This is fine dog? It seems like anything can be a dog whistle as soon as some ass with a red hat says it and winks.

  • HoukHouk Nipples The EchidnaRegistered User regular
    yeah I can 100% imagine how "folkish" could be used and tied into the whole trad bullshit, I just haven't actually seen it in the wild so not sure what it might look like

    will definitely be keeping an eye out going forward though

    Oh in the case of neo-pagan communities like Asatru and Heathenism, the "folkish" dog whistle is literally harkening back to the Nazi term "Volkisch" in particular and has for a couple decades now yeah

    edit: to be clear on the subtext of the word, "folkish" basically means "you must be not only white, but The Right Kind Of aryan white folk, to participate in worship of the 'white' gods"
