Abstract
Abstract Using Casey Ryan Kelly’s theorization of White masculine victimhood and Claire Sisco King’s conceptualization of abject hegemony, this manuscript rhetorically examines the 2017–2019 Netflix series, Marvel’s The Punisher, and its surrounding discourse. The analysis reveals an emotional-moral framework of White masculinity that thrives on and finds pleasure in an unending, inhumane, and cruel treatment of racial and gender Others, while investing in one’s own perpetual claims to victimization and disposability. Furthermore, abject constructions of White victimization and ressentiment subjugate and depend upon Black masculinity to sustain its abject hegemony, thereby extending current understandings of White masculine victimization and Black masculine subservience to whiteness in film and television.
