Long form article includes descriptions of proto-Nazi constructions of parenting and masculinity, as well as the destructive post-fascist counter-reaction, and finally a survivor’s story of re-connecting with his emotional self.

    the survival story was beautiful. marco should be extremely proud of reraising himself and achieving a happy life

    it was also shocking to see that this is maybe the link between homosexuality and pedophilia that the right are so often trying to warn people about. it’s… truly horrific, what kentler did to these kids. and kind of infuriating that his actions would be linked to homosexuality as a whole

    it’s not like i don’t have any empathy for him, he was a product of… deeply fucked up people, people who also judged and shunned homosexuality. but what he did is just absolutely fucking vile

      Nah.

      If a man rapes little girls, is there a link between heterosexuality and pedophilia? Nope, because pedos are either after power or literally have the part of their brain that identifies viable sexual partners malfunction.

    Such a deeply troubling article…They sought a noble thing in dark fucking places; trying to make a better model of parenting and expressions of masculinity which wouldn’t lead to a similar situation of Nazi Germany. If only they had chosen a different route for several of their experiments, they might have actually succeeded. I always wondered why homosexuality and pedophilia were conflated in most people’s minds; this article explains it to me. I’m glad this survivor manages to heal after he suffers for so long.
