In October 2011, a personal video of TheAmazingAtheist was leaked on the internet depicting him performing a sexual act with a banana. The video quickly spread across other internet culture blogs, soon leading 4chan users to mobilize a raid against his Facebook page and website. On October 31st, Kincaid posted a video titled "BananaGate 2011," in which he attempted to explain the context of the banana video (shown below). The video was subsequently reblogged by IGN[6], DailyDot[7] and Escapist Magazine.[8]
Man, if we’re in a place where “banana up ass” and “hot oil on cock” can be openly described, there’s no way in hell I’m clicking a link that simply says “abomination” lol. That’s gotta be REALLY bad!
It was a weak attempt to "own it" instead of hiding in shame with that sword hanging over you in every conversation. Which, granted, is the only real option you have, but it doesn't undo the damage.
I wouldn't call it perfectly, but it worked enough for his supporters to continue to be his supporters openly.
Though given his place as the "shameless asshole" of the atheist movement, he really didn't have anywhere deeper to go and they were big on that "sex positive, all kink all the time" thing at the time.
Without bothering to look into it I'm going to assume it was meant to be some kind of 'own' of that 'atheist nightmare' video Kirk Cameron and that other guy made where they tried to explain how the banana was proof of God's design because of how perfectly ergonomic it is. "your god banana fits perfectly up my ass, take that, christianity!"
Yes because accuracy matters. Some people would call slapping a child child abuse. Others would say it's disciplining that kid for biting another kid. Same for shit like bumping into someone walking past in an elevator is "unwanted contact".
Again, I'm all for context, especially in situations like those. I don't think there's any way to contextualize putting a banana in your anal cavity that makes it normal though.

Can't remember if it was in that vid or subsequent vids but he also put hot wax on his microdick.
Usually I'm all for understanding the context of things but does it really matter what context in which you perform a sex act with a banana?
What if you just slipped on the peel and it fell in?
"A million to one shot, doc...a million to one!"
That explains the banana but what about the video he made of himself pouring hot oil onto his microdick? Or this abomination…

I'm glad I never stumbled upon those.

By all accounts it worked perfectly and he faced no downsides or consequences of any kind.

And film it, and distribute it.
