The Quint’s Latest Hit Job: Hindutva Gets a Porno Makeover It Never Asked For

In a move that surprises exactly no one who’s tracked their playbook, The Quint has unleashed a fresh steaming pile of sanctimonious drivel, this time smearing “Hindutva” with the internet’s oldest trick: porn. Their latest masterpiece, “Artificial Intelligence, Muslim Women, and Hindutva Soft Porn” (catchy, right?), tries to pin a flood of AI-generated “semi-pornographic” pics on “pro-Hindutva” pages. Spoiler: it’s less a smoking gun and more a desperate attempt to sling mud at a buzzword they love to hate.

The gist? Some randos on Facebook and Instagram are using AI to churn out spicy images of Muslim women—shocker, the internet’s gross again—and The Quint’s decided this is Hindutva’s fault. Not basement-dwelling trolls, not the trillion-dollar AI industry, not even the universal truth that people online are weirdos. Nope, it’s those saffron-clad ideologues, apparently moonlighting as porn producers. Move over, Bollywood—there’s a new director in town, and he’s got a vendetta and a Midjourney subscription.

Let’s break this farce down. The Quint clutches its pearls over “semi-pornographic” pics, as if the internet hasn’t been a landfill of sleaze since Netscape was a thing. AI’s been spitting out fake nudes of everyone—K-pop stars, your cousin’s ex, random Twitch streamers—for years. But when a few Muslim women pop up in the mix, suddenly it’s a Hindutva conspiracy? The article’s X post wails, “What is the mentality behind this?” Here’s a wild guess: the same mentality behind every “hot singles in your area” ad—dudes being dudes, not a saffron masterplan.

The real comedy’s in the framing. The Quint paints “pro-Hindutva pages” as evil geniuses, hunched over glowing screens, commanding AI like it’s their personal army of naughty bots. Reality check: these are the same folks who can’t spell “secularism” without a typo, let alone orchestrate a tech-driven smear campaign. More likely, some bored troll with a pirated copy of Photoshop 2.0 stumbled into AI, typed “sexy burqa,” and hit “generate” because his Wi-Fi was back up. Hindutva’s grand agenda? Probably not “flood Instagram with soft porn” between temple visits and chai breaks.

And the AI itself—poor, misunderstood AI. The Quint wants you to think it’s a Hindutva weapon, targeting Muslim women with surgical precision. Newsflash: AI doesn’t care about your ideology—it’s a mindless pixel churner doing what it’s fed. Blaming it for this is like blaming a spoon for your bad curry. But why let facts spoil a juicy narrative? “Hindutva + porn” is clickbait gold, and The Quint’s mining it like it’s 2016 and outrage still pays the bills.

The sanctimony’s the kicker. The article drips with that holier-than-thou vibe, gasping “Semi-pornographic!” like a nun at a strip club. Meanwhile, they’re the ones plastering “Hindutva” next to “soft porn” in a headline, knowing full well it’s a cheap shot. This isn’t journalism—it’s a hit job dressed up as concern, banking on communal tension to rack up retweets. If they cared about Muslim women, they’d call out the internet’s sleaze culture, not scapegoat a political label for some troll’s horny side hustle.

So why Hindutva? Easy—it’s The Quint’s favorite punching bag, a catch-all boogeyman for anything they can’t pin on the weather. Never mind that the internet’s a global dumpster fire of bad taste—nah, let’s zoom in on a few Facebook pages and cry “saffron conspiracy!” It’s lazy, it’s predictable, and it’s peak Quint: take a universal problem, slap a communal twist on it, and watch the woke gallery clap like trained seals.

Here’s the truth: Hindutva didn’t sign up for this porno cameo. The culprits? A handful of idiots with too much time and not enough sense, same as always. The Quint’s just along for the ride, stirring the pot because “AI Porn Trolls Are Gross” doesn’t hit the same outrage sweet spot. So let’s raise a glass to their latest flop—and maybe send them a memo: the internet’s been trash forever. No saffron scapegoat required.
