Female bloodsport porn now starring a steroided tranny

If you'd only vaguely heard of Ronda Rousey before last weekend, you've certainly been seeing blanket coverage of her loss to Holly Holm.

I won't link to nerd porn here, but do an image search for both their names and "Nov 15", and look at how obviously roided up Holm is in the fight. She is too big and too shredded for a 34 year-old white girl. Especially in the upper body, neck, skull, and hairline. Rousey and the previous women she's fought look instead like tomboys who hang out at the gym (notably softer looking than male fighters), not women using steroids and male hormones to transition to men.

So, what amounts to a man just beat the snot out of a girl, and is getting worldwide acclaim for it.

MMA junkies say that Rousey is obnoxious and gets way more press than she deserves. So in a sense she had a humbling coming sooner or later. But that just turns the fight into one of those wurlstah videos where some ghetto ape puts his fist through the face of a mouthy aggressive ho. And here it's given a freakish tranny twist to appeal even more powerfully to the fetishists watching two women in skimpy clothing grapple with each other.

Recall an earlier post about guys who get off on girl-on-girl porn being what I call "latent transgender" -- they aren't openly presenting as female, but they fantasize sexually about being a woman, namely one or more of the women in the porn they watch or who they visualize in their mind.

The same phenomenon is obviously at work in guys who are on the edge of their seats for a women's MMA fight. Guys watching a fight are projecting themselves into one or the other of the fighters, and resonating emotionally with what the fighters are going through. If both fighters are women, they are resonating with being a female fighter. And given the viewer's clearly sexual interest in the women, they are in fact indulging in a latent transgender fantasy while watching the fight.

Unlike run-of-the-mill girl-on-girl porn, however, women's MMA is violently antagonistic, so the viewer is being stimulated further by the thought of getting bloody revenge against a woman, who represents the many that have rejected him. They would feel too dirty watching an outright man beat up a woman, though, so they seek plausible deniability about just wanting to watch a woman beat up a woman -- that certainly wouldn't belie their revenge fantasies against the vapid bitches who ignore them.

With the entry of juiced-up Holly Holm, we are seeing a shift toward a more overt man vs. woman bloodsport. We just might get to that point, given how degenerate our society is getting, and how bloodsports flourish during a period of societal instability (like gladiator spectacles during the decline of the Roman Empire). At least the Roman decadents had the decency not to involve women.

The whole thing is so odd when you consider how little attention guys show in just about all female sports. Basketball, soccer, softball, field hockey, golf, volleyball -- zero interest. It's strange that the fetishists avoid watching women's soccer or volleyball, where the girls aren't too bad looking and where their uniforms show off their lower bodies. But there's no way to construe what you're watching there as a sexual interaction, which requires close physical contact between two individuals (or maybe three, but not an entire team, let alone two teams, and golf is solitary).

Combat sports are the only ones that meet the most basic cognitive template of a sexual interaction. (That's true for man vs. man, too -- wrestlers are far more likely to be teased for homo behavior than are football or basketball players.) Therefore, they're the only women's sports that latent transgender viewers will tune into. The fact that they also indulge the violent revenge fantasies of rejected fetishists only adds to their emotional appeal.
