I have the weirdest Nazi uniform fetish.. I know it’s crazy.. I can’t explain it and I certainly don’t agree with anything remotely Nazish… But I can’t help but love me some Spock in that uniform.

It’s all about the design. (Hugo Boss, etc.) But then this leads to fetishization and then potentially the disconnect; while the former is fine on its own, the latter can be problematic. And then you’ve got the interesting subcomponent of Jewish participation (stalag novels, etc.)—I’d love to find and read any thoughts Nimoy and Shatner had about filming this episode.
(I really need to find a way to study this whole fetish/Nazi-exploitation phenomenon.)

Old meme, I know, but this reminded me of my ongoing question—do things like this devalue the impact of the Nazi regime? (Like the problems of the zombie movie I wrote about a while back.) Or, because this is not directly making light of the Holocaust, do people just allow for a disconnect?

“I was 19 and had been living in New York for a little over a year. It was technically my second Halloween in the city but since the first Halloween had been right after 9/11, this might as well have been my first Halloween. I was too self conscious to really dress up too crazy; I needed a costume but I still really wanted to look cute and fuckable. I ended up settling on wearing some sort of military jacket and a yarmulke that I had lying around from some bar mitzvah I had attended years ago. I added some swastikas to the jacket and said I was a Jewish Nazi. I’m still not sure why anything about this outfit made sense to me at the time. I mean, I’m not even Jewish. Probably I felt comfortable with the look because it made me look cute in a generic enough way that I could imagine a wide range of men finding me attractive and unthreatening. Also, there’s something pathetic enough about the costume that it was just maybe adorable.”

1) Nazis as cute/unthreatening. Speaks for itself.
2) Another bit of evidence for the interest-in-Nazis queer subculture; what is the attraction? Just the uniforms?
