The push for black men was from intentional propaganda. The fetishization of black men for white women was one of the pillars of the social justice movement since the 60s. Women’s attraction towards violence is considered to be a byproduct from evolutionary psychology, where violent dominant men were more likely to mate. Women in culture have always been a shitshow, to think this is anything new would be ignoring history.
I don't agree on either of these points.
Women's attraction towards violent porn has increased in the past decade. That's not just a general thing about women, the problem is that women are more interested in more violence than normal, or in previous times. I still argue that that is a result of the feminization of men creating such a drought of strong masculine attractive figures in their lives, that they are fetishizing violence.
Blacks become a token of that fetiziation because of the cultural mapping of violent crime and aggression ascribed to blacks through much black media.
Now, I don't deny that blacks were fetishized by Social Justice. My citation is Fritz The Cat. However, I'd still argue this is an internal fetishization, not an external one. I also don't deny that women are attracted to some amount of violence & aggression as it can be used to denote a male capable of protecting them. However, the current trends are outside the norm.
