https://www.rawstory.com/2018/07/republican-accused-of-being-devotee-of-bigfoot-by-democratic-opponent-in-virginia-house-race/

the link is to Raw Story and I know some people have issue with them as a source, I didn't see any other links

A Virginia Democrat is accusing her Republican opponent of being a “devotee of Bigfoot erotica” based on screenshots he appeared to have posted of a Bigfoot with a large penis.

I mean I am at a loss

and then the Democrat was attacked for "kink-shaming"

This has to be the Onion right - I mean Raw Story has got to be joking.

1. Now there's a kink I've never even heard of. I couldn't even have imagined it.

But it's been said that if it exists (and I guess in the case of Bigfoot, even if it doesn't), there's porn of it on the Internet.

I wonder if yetis are hot?

[Wounded Bear]

2. Given the popularity of that type of shows, I'm not surprised...

anything that popular eventually goes sexual.

[Volaris]

9. Well, you've given the Internet something to do for the next 24 hours, at least...

(Rule 34...)

31. It really is a thing

36. Remember R. Crumb?---'Whiteman meets bigfoot'

41. Intended to post about RCrumb and Whiteman Meets Bigfoot

To add to your link, the Theatre Dell'Arte put on a production of Whiteman Meets Bigfoot. I saw the play in Berkeley as a Cal student but Theatre Dell'Arte is in Blue Lake, CA (Humboldt county) where I am native and now live (mother and grandmother born in Blue Lake and have great and great grandparents buried in the Blue Lake Cemetery).

Always wished Dell'Arte would reprise WMMBF. The basic story is Whiteman and wife and teen son and daughter go to the forest in a Winnebago where Mr. Whiteman and his daughter have sexual affairs with members of a bigfoot family. Hilarious also highly recommend Dell'Arte as they tour internationally and perform in Humboldt county.

39. Rule 34 Of The Internet.

"There's porn of it. No exceptions."

[Takket]

3. well... better that than putting babies in cages............

which he probably supports also.

[Squinch]

28. This.

[Hoyt]

4. Democrats taking it to Deplorables.

[3catwoman3]

5. I must confess that I had no idea there was...

...such a thing as Big Foot erotica.

[moriah]

6. Rule 34. There's porn of everything.

But I certainly haven't seen examples of this particular thing until my mental image from the article now.

[3catwoman3]

10. I never thought there would be allusions to candidates'...

...penis sizes during the Republican primaries, so I guess, after that, not much should surprise me, but some things still do.

[milestogo]

8. I thought it had something to do with a fetish for big feet.

[ProudLib72]

7. More like "stink-shaming", and every Dem should be doing it to every rethug

Who the fuck writes a book about the mating habits of Bigfoot? This asshole is totally

[Doodley]

11. Well, you know what they say? Big feet, big....

[maxrandb]

26. I've always heard

"Big Feet, Big Hands....Big disappointment"

[Iggo]

40. ...shoes.

[Bradshaw3]

12. I was going to make a "Sexquatch" joke and then ...

To make sure it was a joke I googled it and ... omg:

13. What? Yet another insecure Republican with small hands and feet?

[Leghorn21]

14. "Bigfoot" is trending at #2!!

https://mobile.twitter.com/search?q=Bigfoot

Lordy, the times we’re livin in!!

[Leghorn21]

15. "Bigfoot" is #1 in America!!

I leave the internet for a few hours, come back to find out...

1. There's a non-cartoon person going around being named Denver Riggleman
2. He's running for office.
3. He is a white supremacist.
4. Who is into Bigfoot erotica.

This would have been super weird a few years ago.

honestly it's shockingly late into 2018 for this to be the first time we're hearing the words "Bigfoot porn"

..................

*wanders sleepily onto Twitter*
*wonders why Bigfoot is trending*
*clicks on trend*
*is filled with regret*
*questions life choices*

23. I lost it when I saw the drawing and then the fact the Dem's

Last name is "Cockburn"

Just so bizarre all around

[Different Drummer]

42. Some of the tweets in response to Bigfoot trending are absolutely hilarious!

16. apparently dinosaur erotica is a thing too; came across quite a few such books on audible while sear

searching for dinosaur (science) books.

[nadine_mn]

21. I know! I saw an article about the dinosaur stuff

And that was it for me, I just couldn't understand that it wasn't just one or two weirdos but a whole genre

[uriel1972]

17. It's not an issue unless...

They're a typical "Family Values" anti-everything non-binary person.

Otherwise if Big... errr... foot is their thing then who am I to judge.

It's the Hypocrisy that appalls me.

[alphafemale]

18. Well there is that theory about big feet. So....?

[Vinca]

19. It's official. The country is one big insane asylum.

[SkyDancer]

20. That's it, I'm done

I have officially seen it all now.

22. Frankly I'm impressed with those rock hard abs

Ol' Sasquatch has been working out and doing crunches

[SkyDancer]

24. He isn't the same Bigfoot

as Harry & The Henderson's, that for sure

[phylny]

25. Alas, it's a tough climb here in VA-05.

He could do Bigfoot on Fifth Avenue (or I-81) and the Republican voters in this gerrymandered district would still vote for him.

[Funtatlaguy]

27. Why do they censor Big Foots penis?

Isn’t the penis the point of the joke?

[TEB]

30. Now I believe in Bigfoot

And as a liberal I’d just like to see proof as in DNA of their existence. No cock shots just proof.

[Midnight Writer]

32. Give the guy a break. Do you know how tough it is to find a photo of a Bigfoot with a small penis?

[Gothmog]

34. I predict a two fold surge in Bigfoot Erotica sales this week

[Iggo]

35. Weirdo!

And yes, that's textbook kink-shaming.

[NCTraveler]

37. "self-identified progressive white men "

Has HA Goodman chimed in?

[mythology]

38. I couldn't possibly care less about somebody's kink if it doesn't hurt anybody who isn't consenting

Same holds true for any kink.
