The Naked Glory
Look at all these naked people and sex in here! Have you no shame, Neuerotica?!
This was my plan from the beginning. In Proem (the preface of the introduction), I stated that Neuerotica “is like when I used to hang with my crew in my friend’s basement, drinking whatever and smoking weed, with two girls giggling while doing a shotgun, more girls are in the bathroom doing bumps, and the stereo is about to blow our eardrums. Despite the smoke, it always smelled like sex in there, and it would cling to your clothing even after a long bus ride home. Not to mention, there wasn’t a time when we didn’t discuss politics through it all.” That’s the kind of atmosphere I was hoping to achieve.
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, I was known for throwing big parties that were more than just dancing. I provided various types of beer, wine, and liquor, food (not appetizers), and women. The only thing I didn’t provide was the drugs, but anyone who wanted to could bring their own. My friends were having sex everywhere (including my office, which I clearly stated was off limits) except the front lawn. I wanted Neuerotica to feel like a party, and I believe that if you’re gonna throw a party, it should be as hedonistic as possible. Here, we have great musicians, great artists, great fashion designers, great political discussions, and lots of sex. It’s a socialist party, after all.
For a serious discussion on the subject, I suggest reading Chapter Two, where I discuss the matter of inhibitions and their detrimental effects it has on our creativity, mental and sexual health.
Okay! Now on to the (sort of) fun part!
There are lots of instruments of war scattered throughout this site and in our memes, but it does not mean that we are advocating for violence. We do, however, advocate for self-defense, which is why many nations across the world have swords, spears, arrows, or guns on their flags. They represent defending their country and ideals against all comers, and nothing more. The same applies to Neuerotica’s defense of our artists, philosophy, and ideology.
Weapons displayed on our site also represent the manner in which we’ve chosen to fight our ideological enemies. In a 1988 interview with Spin magazine, Chuck D of rap group Public Enemy had this to say when asked about references to Uzis in their music and their display at PE’s concerts:
”My Uzi is my mind, the bullets are the words I speak.”
Basically, Chuck is paraphrasing the old axiom: “The pen is mightier than the sword.” Our e-magazine is the weapon, our words are the bullets, and our memes are the truth bombs scattered throughout social media. President Donald Trump is the immediate threat, but capitalism has always been a threat and was always going to lead us down this road; if not now, then eventually. You think that you’re living in the best of all worlds, but you aren’t; you’re just comfortable.
There are many ways to fight a war, and I’ve chosen mine through journalism. There may come a day when that won’t be enough, but that day is not today.
There have been many accounts of women throughout history not only fighting for their nation but also leading troops into war.
In 1921, Vladimir Lenin had this to say:
”The involvement of proletarian women in the common class struggle, and their growing solidarity have shaken the usual self-confidence of the bourgeoisie and spread alarm in place of its previous tranquillity: the increasing organisation of the female proletariat removes the last defenceless victim of capitalist exploitation.”
For me, armed women aren’t a girl-with-a-gun fantasy; they’re a necessity. You will never have a revolution (or make any progress in your society) without the aid of the empathy, determination, and strength of women. We already know that men are quick to pick up a gun when they feel threatened or for a “cause”, but women deserve some badass, buckshot representation too. So, this is why you’ll see armed women lurking in various parts of Neuerotica. The only thing that’s serious about our e-magazine is our editorial section; the rest is filled with creative, irreverent, and satirical mayhem. The images of armed women I will choose may be naked or half-naked (or just “sexy”), but if that’s all you see (and you think they’re only there for titillation), then you won’t understand anything about Neuerotica.
Now, if you’re wondering where all the men are, they’re coming (no pun intended). Most of the art and photos of men I’ve seen on the internet are of muscle heads, and while I have nothing against muscular men (I hope to grow up to be one someday), I don’t like power-fantasy men. I’ve built up a collection of men (nude or otherwise) and all of these images, both straight and queer, will be making their debut here soon. I’m particular, so I hope that you like what you see.
Lastly, AI.
Not to say I’d be embarrassed if I did, but I don’t make AI-generated art. I hated AI-generated art after beta-testing Adobe's Firefly, but in 2025, I gave it a chance. Before, all I had seen of it was that slick, bright, shiny shit that people to this day still like to make. I’m not just a random observer; I’ve been a fan of classical artists such as Rubens, Monet, and Michelangelo, as well as commercial artists like Frank Frazetta and Boris Vallejo. I even have antique and vintage art that dates back more than a century. What I’m saying to you is that I know art. I have developed a unique perspective on AI-generated art, am aware of the environmental impacts that people claim are associated with its use, and recognize that not all of those claims are true. There’s also the AI bubble that many experts predict will burst sooner rather than later.
On a boring day, I decided to turn off my DeviantArt AI filter. I was immediately impressed by what I saw. Later, I started making up stories for the images I liked, and they came at me faster than I could write them down (though it turned out I didn’t have to, because each story stayed with me). Then came the memes. The majority of the AI art I looked at inspired the most outrageously humorous thoughts I had ever had. I made the background image in this section on this page by combining an AI image and a photograph of splashing milk. Why? The thought popped up in my head the moment I saw the AI pic, and there really is no other explanation. My neuerodivergent brain isn’t responsive to traditional art or photography in this way. It’s possible that a neurotypical individual can do it (and I would love to see someone do it), but I can’t.
Not all of my AI-inspired ideas are humorous, and if you’ve read Chapter 11, then you’ve seen my political memes. In fact, my goal, almost from the moment I realized I had this "talent,” was to create satirical memes. The circus of despair and death emanating from the current administration makes it easier. Those are my best memes. I rarely use someone’s art as is; most of the time, I edit it to change the narrative or context of the original. It can be a time-consuming endeavor, mostly because the tools I use are limited, but my approach makes the images look better, and I think I do good work.
What I like most about AI art is the outrageous ideas some of these artists come up with; they appeal to my sense of the absurd and humor. I’ve never seen anything comparable in traditional art. The sexual themes are especially wild, and I find it amazing that the artists are capable of making sexually charged images without being graphic.
The preponderance of Neuerotica’s design, however, comes from photographs, traditional art, or digital art. AI art doesn’t lend itself to customization for a website like this. The resolution of those images is far too low. Still, it is an invaluable asset to Neuerotica and to me. I always make an effort to credit every artist whose work I use for either web or social media content (though, admittedly, I do make mistakes. If you see one of your images here or in our memes that I haven’t credited, please reach out to me, and I will do my best to rectify the oversight).
It has been one hell of a journey; I’ve never written this much in my life. Repeatedly tearing down and rebuilding the site was enough. The reason I decided to do this thesis-long introduction is that I wanted everyone to know that a lot of thought (and work) went into creating Neuerotica. There was extensive research, planning, design, and construction that went into its creation. If you made it this far, you’re fucking nuts, but I appreciate you all just the same.
Peace out, fam
Well, this is the end, my friends. The title of this chapter is from something I mentioned in Chapter 9 Neuerotica is sexually and politically way over the top. It’s not a juvenile pipe dream, however; it’s a thoughtfully conceived “weapon” of mass construction. Having said that, maybe a satanic socialist sex cult isn’t such a bad idea. Wouldn’t that rock? No?
It’s funny that, when I started, most of what I’ve written in these twelve chapters was originally one long page, where I was calling the different parts of our introduction “sections”, until I realized how long it was going to be. I’m making this summation as concise as possible, however. There are some things I spoke about in previous chapters that I’d like to clear up and phrase in simpler terms, as well as some things I failed to mention.
Let me start with the (semi) long, boring stuff.
For as long as I can remember, some slang terms used in African-American and Hispanic neighborhoods have made their way into mainstream society. The latest term to make that migration is “woke”. In the hood, to be woke means to be aware or “awake”. If you’re caught “sleeping” in the hood, you can get “got”, meaning conned, robbed, assaulted, arrested, killed, etc. If you’re hustling in the streets or walking through a bad neighborhood, your folks might tell you to stay woke, i.e. get to your destination safely. The phrase can also apply to what you’re being told by the media and the government. Sometimes, someone might say “don’t sleep” which, of course, means the same thing.
How white right-wingers got hold of “woke” and turned the word into something derogatory is something that I will never understand. In case you hadn’t noticed, Neuerotica is woke. It’s not that we don’t discriminate against LGBTQ+ individuals; we welcome them and believe they add much to the significance, seditiousness, and seductiveness of Neuerotica.
Then there’s socialism. I don’t recommend learning about socialism or communism from Neuerotica. If you’re an American and you’re going to be critical about something, you should know something about it, in which case, I recommend reading a book. You may also want to read up on capitalism, since it’s the economic system under which you live. Americans tend to be horribly misinformed about politics.
Editorials are opinions and observations about a particular person(s) and other topics, but don’t typically require citations to verify the information being presented. Given the current political climate, however, I may begin including citations in our editorial section. The last thing I want is for people to think that we’re sharing “fake news”. However, by the time everyone reads this, I’ll have published a satirical fake news “newspaper”. I began working on it last year, and it will be a part of the site. I think it’s pretty funny, so I hope you’ll check it out.
