WIRED has documented a cluster of explicit X accounts that pair pornography with pro-Trump politics, white supremacist fantasies and praise for Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids. The accounts are not fringe in the old sense of the word: WIRED said it found about a dozen such pages, some with tens of thousands of followers.
The pattern is grim and very online. According to WIRED, one X account posted on July 8 about ICE detention conditions, including a claim that more than 68,000 people were being held, then attached a short masturbation clip rather than footage from a detention center. Other users responded sexually to the post. In another example described by WIRED, a video edited together clips of white men having sex while a red, white and blue overlay urged viewers to join ICE and the X post linked to ice.gov.
The accounts WIRED reviewed use a shared set of themes: white male dominance, authoritarian politics, anti-immigrant messaging and sexualized racism. Some accounts describe white men as rulers or gods, refer to white supremacy as biological fact, and frame pro-MAGA politics as erotic submission to power. Several also posted misogynistic, anti-DEI and rape-normalizing material, according to WIRED.
X, the White House and the Department of Homeland Security did not respond to WIRED's requests for comment.
Politics as fetish content
WIRED reported that the pro-MAGA porn ecosystem overlaps with other adult subcultures already active on X, including gooning and financial domination, a BDSM practice in which submissives pay dominant creators. One account described by WIRED posted racist and homophobic messages alongside apparent AI-generated images of shirtless bodybuilders meant to be worshipped.
Another creator, identified by WIRED as OnlyFans performer Master Joe, promoted a paid video on X in which he wore a red MAGA hat while abusing a white submissive dressed in a Harris-Walz campaign shirt. The post advertised the clip as a discounted paid video.
Josh, a 25-year-old bisexual Trump voter in Columbus, Ohio, told WIRED that MAGA-themed porn gives some gay men a way to reject what he described as pressure to perform liberal politics. WIRED identified him by first name only because he cited professional concerns tied to the explicit material.
A gooner video editor who spoke with WIRED anonymously said MAGA porn accounts used to be tiny and easy to ignore, but now ask him to feature their material in widely shared edits. He said he refuses because he does not want the association.
X made the feed easier to flood
WIRED connects the accounts' visibility to X's post-2022 moderation shift under new ownership. The platform became more permissive and more central to conservative and right-wing media figures. Adult creators, many of whom already depended on X for promotion, began posting into a feed where political content was more prominent.
That does not mean X created eroticized racism or domination fantasies. Whitney Strub, an associate professor at Rutgers University-Newark and author of Perversion for Profit: The Politics of Pornography and the Rise of the New Right, told WIRED that far-right sexual politics have long mixed racial hierarchy, submission to authority and fantasies of humiliation. Strub said the current accounts look like an updated version shaped by meme culture from sites such as Something Awful, 4chan and groyper circles.
The result is a feed where policy slogans, ICE recruitment aesthetics and extremist fantasies become porn packaging. X did not explain to WIRED whether any of this violates its rules, which is convenient for X and less convenient for anyone trying to understand what the platform now permits.
