You’re confusing erotic attraction with homoeroticism as a political and aesthetic structure. Andrew Hewitt’s Political Inversions explores precisely the relationship between homosexuality, fascism and the modernist imaginary. The point is ideological, not whether you fancy a man in a balaclava.

Sure. But Derrida would remind us that language is never innocent. The conscious intentions of those wearing balaclavas do not exhaust the meanings their imagery produces. Deconstruction concerns precisely this instability between intention, signification and the cultural histories embedded in signs

in fairness, the Stop The Boats guys might also come up with peak intellectual takes like "why aren't you calling women in burkas gay then?", get corrected on "'homoerotic'; not 'gay'" and then go "yeah, homosexual?" look this was a passing thought but the point is I'd be fascinated to witness this
