Welcome to the Black New World Order

Meet interracial porn’s more sinister little sister trying to make fascism sexy.

It’s a secret to none that the far-right has a penchant for rebranding itself in order to find newer, larger, and younger audiences. Whether through memes, viral videos, or political influencers. But in more recent years, they’ve turned their sights to a new frontier: enter the Black New World Order (BNWO). A niche offshoot of interracial pornography that just hints at the racial-sexual power dynamics but intensely amplifies and weaponizes them. Even to a more casual viewer, BNWO is more than a fetish; it’s propaganda. 

This isn’t really just about porn. It’s about how the internet has created spaces where the most extreme and niche interests can thrive, often with little to no oversight or accountability

Unlike more established porn genres, a simple Google search for “Black New World Order” won’t flood your screen with NSFW thumbnails. BNWO exists in a darker, but increasingly popular corner of the internet. Platforms like X (formerly known as Twitter) and Reddit are where fans and creators come to commune and create content, fashion edits, and craft memes that play with fetish and ideology. Here user-generate content is king and whether traditional production studios refuse to pick it up to avoid controversy or are just ignorant to its popularity (some these accounts have up to 300k followers on X) is still not clear. Independent creators on platforms like OnlyFans and Just4Fans and their fervent community are reshaping what’s considered mainstream in adult entertainment. BNWO plays up its more insidious irony. Its name is a take of the infamous conspiracy theory “New World Order”, often invoked by white nationalists to describe a hostile supposed takeover by nonwhites. The videos take the more familiar interracial heterosexual porn that juxtaposes the hypermasculine, aggressive male Black body against the hyperfeminized petite white female body but superimposed with images of videos migrants crossing the border with hypnotic music detailing how white women. Viewers are offered a disturbing cocktail of arousal, racial fetishization, and ideological reinforcement. 

I think the demand is way way way more than the supply, especially when we’re talking about the kind of stuff I make

This genre’s rise signifies a tidal shift withing how pornography is created and consumed. The days when a limited number of major studios in Los Angeles dominated the market have set, as consumers are no longer passive viewers, and their appetites have become voracious. As viewers have become tastemakers, independent content creators have become more suitable for the market as is. This is especially true for more niche genres like BNWO as the demand can afford to become more hyper-specific, hyper-curated content outpaces what traditional studios are willing (or able) to supply. 

I think the demand is way way way more than the supply, especially when we’re talking about the kind of stuff I makeMistress May is an online sex worker who makes content for BNWO. She shares that she can make upwards of £2000 for a single video. 

BNWO is a more extreme example of this recent trend, because its aesthetic couldn’t have ever been suggested in a commercial studio, but something that can be picked up on more dark corners of the internet by more nefarious minds. It’s lucrative to be taboo and that’s what makes the subgenre particularly unsettling as the taboo blends with sexual arousal. 

Adult entertainment has never shied away from reflecting society’s fears and desires. From the roll out of amateur porn in the early 20000s to the rise of incestuous storylines in the 2010s, the industry has made sure to profit, shock, and titillate audiences. But BNWO doesn’t wish to simply reflect, but weaponize it. At its heart, BNWO looks to eroticize white nationalist fears flipping a topic like the “migrant crisis” to not just a political talking point but a sexual fantasy. But beyond a sexual fantasy, it becomes a paternalistic misogynistic fantasy about protecting white women as symbolic victims, while making Black men both feared and fetishized for their supposed sexual aggression. White supremacists manage to turn their rhetoric into a repurposed fantasy. But it’s not necessarily paradoxical according to Dr. Robert Randolph, scholar, lecturer and author of “Delectable Negroes: On precarity, death, and the Black queer male body,”  

“It’s a way to sexualize their greatest fears,” says Dr. Randolph “BNWO creates a space where these individuals can indulge in their anxieties about race and power dynamics in a way that feels taboo, but ultimately safe.” 

The rise of BNWO also reflects a troubling trend in online spaces: the increasing overlap between pornography and far-right ideologies. Social media platforms like X, despite their content moderation policies, have become havens for extremist communities, allowing them to network, recruit, and normalize their views. Elon Musk has come under fire as CEO of X about the normalization of far-right propaganda on the site. BNWO is a natural representation of what can occur when a space where the personal (sexuality) and the political (ideology) intersect. 

This intersection and furthermore its critique is not entirely new. Pornography has always been a site of political tension, from feminist critiques of the male gaze to debates over sex work and agency. But BNWO represents a darker evolution. Here, the boundaries between fantasy and belief blur, creating a space where racial fetishization becomes a gateway to ideological radicalization. 

What makes BNWO particularly significant is what it signals about the future of pornography. As the industry continues to fragment and decentralize, niche subgenres like BNWO are likely to proliferate. This raises important questions about regulation, ethics, and the role of platforms in shaping the content they host. For years, governments worldwide have attempted to limit access to pornography, from age-verification laws to outright bans. But as the BNWO phenomenon demonstrates, these efforts often fail to address the real issues. Traditional porn sites like PornHub are becoming less relevant as consumers migrate to social media platforms and peer-to-peer business models. Meanwhile, the rise of user-generated content has created a Wild West of sorts, where anything goes, especially genres that blur the line between kink and hate speech. 

“This isn’t really just about porn,” says Dr. Randolph. “It’s about how the internet has created spaces where the most extreme and niche interests can thrive, often with little to no oversight or accountability.” 

The Black New World Order may be a niche subgenre, making it easy to discredit as evidence of a larger phenomenon, its implications are far-reaching. It’s an important and sobering reminder of how pornography can serve as a mirror to our deepest anxieties and darkest desires. But it’s also a warning about the unchecked power of online communities to shape and normalize harmful ideologies. As the boundaries between personal pleasure and political belief continue to blur, it’s crucial to ask: what are we really watching, and at what cost? In the case of BNWO, the answer isn’t just a fantasy. It’s a reflection of a world where the lines between fear and fetish, propaganda and porn, are dangerously thin.
