"The Short But Turbulent History Of Destroyer Magazine". "The tension along the culturally determined barrier between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ sexual expressions is demonstrated in the scandal of Destroyer magazine and the outrage it sparked within gay rights debates." See also One doctoral dissertation describes Destroyer's relevance thus: The reactions to Destroyer have repeatedly been used in academic discourse as an example of what kind of expressions gay culture or sex radicalism may or may not include, and how that can change over time. The English translation Gay Man's Worst Friend - the Story of Destroyer Magazine was published in March 2011. Key players in the initial scandals were interviewed by Svenska Dagbladet, including Andersson himself and the former chairman of the Swedish Federation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rights. Aftonbladet published a favorable review, which was criticized by the culture editor of Expressen. The book made headline in several national newspapers. Karl Andersson's Swedish book Bögarnas värsta vän - historien om tidningen Destroyer was published in October 2010 and covers the reactions to the magazine.
ĭestroyer's final issue (#10), published in January 2010, was limited to 1,000 copies.
The magazine also received criticism from child-protection activists for allegedly "sexualising" children. In a live radio debate, the chairman of the Swedish Federation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rights accused Destroyer editor Karl Andersson of "giving gay people a bad name", an accusation they stood by when questioned by international LGBT media. Destroyer was subjected to massive criticism by the gay establishment in Sweden, because of its young male models.
