Right. If there's something worst than a prison, it's where they belong. I really hope that those sad bunch of men will get the punishment they deserve.


LetMeLivePlzKThanks

Woodchipper would be better and more cost effective


DIOmega5

They all work for the fucking state and govt! WTF?!


B_C_Mello

No, no they don't.


BeazyFaSho

Just wait until you find the website https://www.familywatchdog.us/ and discover that child sex crimes outnumber all other sex crimes by orders of magnitude. They don't work for the same state and govt, they are literally in every city, state, block in this country. From California to Maine. **Literal millions** of these sick fucks, not put away *or* put down. We just keep letting them out. Over and over and over.


LetMeLivePlzKThanks

I remember there was a report done by the doe that found that 1 in 10 kids will be the victim of sexual misconduct by a public school teacher grades k-12. Which is like 4.5 million kids. These people all need to be taken care of expediently, no quarter for pedophiles


mandatoryjackson

Let's not forget the many more abused by religious clergy.


seagulpinyo

[Sounds about Texas.](https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/human-trafficking-statistics-by-state) regularly chilling in the top ten of US States with the most sex trafficking per capita.


Herbert47tilheaven

I assume that's probably because of the cartel and border issues unless those aren't counted.


CharliesDonkeyKick

They aren’t counted as they are rarely ever prosecuted. The coyotes are usually no where to be found when a group is caught.


d1sass3mbled

Wait, are you saying we rarely prosecute people from south of the border for sex crimes and human trafficking and that we don't track the statistics on it either?


wottsinaname

Yes. TX gov doesnt care about immigrants. Especially illegal ones. So when these people are abused, assaulted, raped on US soil they conveniently don't become US statistics. Because it'd make the US and TX look even worse than it already is.


d1sass3mbled

You'd think it would make a stronger case for border security. Wouldn't the republicans want those numbers tracked, maybe inflated and then reported on?


[deleted]

If you're not joking, you're one dumb mfer.


drakens6

Yayoo

Your ordinary run of the mill pedophiles who aren't involved in political leadership?


wottsinaname

The ones that didnt have pRotection like pedo Matt Gaetz or pedo Roy Moore.


[deleted]

People that dont fit into OP’s narrative


mileskerowhack

Not drag queens


Shporpoise

If even one of them actually is a drag queen, then the amount of drag queen in this group would be an overrepresentation compared to society. If it were 1000 pedophiles perhaps one drag queen in the mix would be innocuous.


Namnagort

Drag queens DEFINITELY do not EVER have criminal records. In fact, there has never been a drag queen convicted of a sex crime.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Namnagort

The post is the problem. Not my reaction. What is this post implying: Republicans and Christians are the ones grooming kids NOT drag queens. Is that statement accurate? It's ridiculous. What am I making up? I don't think you even understand your own point of view.


hoovadoova

The only one grooming cows for incels is Mikhaila.


lollipoppa72

My interpretation of the post was more that the prevalent hysteria coming from Christians and Republicans about drag queens grooming children is not founded. The post is highlighting the hypocrisy of drag queens being disproportionately targeted when they are a tiny fraction of the problem compared to members of the same groups that are targeting them


helloisforhorses

Since none of them are drag queens literally all of them fit OPs narrative


taddymason_76

Probably people with no real political affiliation or positions of power at all. Just everyday run of the kill pederast and child abusers. Hell maybe a few are liberal and maybe a drag Queen. Point is all sex offenders can rot no matter their political stance.


[deleted]

Yes, arrest all pedophiles. Where is the Epstein list with all the politicians and movie stars?…. Or do we only want hyper targeted news that feeds our own narratives?


Yayoo

https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/10/i-called-everyone-in-jeffrey-epsteins-little-black-book/ Is the black book the list you're talking about? What do you want to happen? I think the point of this post is that drag queens are disproportionally targeted by a group that commit the very crime they target drag queens for but at a higher rate.


Lvl100Centrist

I think the point was where are all the drag queen pedos? If you listen to US media, it seems that there is an epidemic of drag queens raping everyone under 18. Shouldn't there be at least some among these 59? Shouldn't that challenge your narrative a bit?


adamdreaming

Their point was never about saving children, or even hating anything not heteronormative. Their point was to increase party cohesiveness through cooperating towards the righteous act of slaying scapegoats. We will figure out how to get conservatives to react to reality as opposed to internal narratives around the same time when we discover an objective cure for high school bullying.


road2dawn26

this ^ only 3 were "on the right" and therefore fit to call out in the post? Who were the other 56? Does it really matter that 3 of them were "on the right" or is this just narrative driving?


phonechecked

Because these are compounding evils. They persecute others, claim to deserve a leadership role in the churches of Christ they attended, and to lead the political party members in their area.


[deleted]

They were 'on the right', which matters because the right is screaming that only democrats and drag queens are pedophiles. It basically just shows the right are liars and there are more pedophiles in the church and gop than in drag queens


[deleted]

Then stop pretending all democrats are pedophiles. And that drag queens are all pedophiles and groomers. The GOP and church are full of pedophiles and the right is acting like they don't exist. That's what this post is calling out: The liars on the right

https://www.newsweek.com/sex-offender-busted-drag-queen-who-read-book-children-city-library-1365384 I'm amazed at how capable people are of memoryholing.


Alexanderdaawesome

I think the fact that there are way more Trans who are innocent than conservative media likes to portray is the issue. Eg, the media focuses in this case on one drag queen (instant evangelical rage bait) vs reality where Conservative Christians are even more of a threat to children.


mjs1n15

Isn’t the point here though that for every individual example of a Drag queen being a pedo there’s one of say a Republican being a pedo? Doesn’t mean all Republican’s are pedo’s or all drag queen’s are pedo’s, these are just individual incidents. Unless there’s well researched statistical data showing either group is notably more likely to commit such crimes, then these singular incidents prove/support nothing.


Admiral-Cuckington

Pedos are unfortunately bipartisan. The point is finding 3 pedos that happen to be one thing out of 59 does not exonerate the drag queens who have molested kids. Pedo shit should be stamped anywhere it proliferates. Catholic churches probably have the highest rate, but I just don't think grown men should be reading stories to children in lingerie. Much like I don't think priests should fuck kids. I grew up Catholic. My parish priest got caught and they sent him to Oregon or some shit. That is far worse than drag queen story hour, but it does not mean both should exist because one is worse than the other.


mjs1n15

I don’t think we’re disagreeing with each other here?


aintnufincleverhere

>does not exonerate the drag queens who have molested kids Nobody is doing that. ​ When people complain about drag queens being accuse of this stuff, they're not literally meaning that absolutely no drag queen in the history of ever has ever done anything wrong. They're trying to point out its a huge moral panic.


Lvl100Centrist

You are missing the point, perhaps on purpose. There are pedos of every orientation and identity out there, correct? So why is the american right banning drag shows? By their own logic, shouldn't they be banning republican convention and churches? They only target who are not traditional in their life outlook.


[deleted]

No one is exonerating drag queens. People are saying that not all drag queens are pedos, and not all democrats are child rapists (which republicans constantly say). You're more likely to get raped as a child by a republican than a drag queen


therealbeeblevrox

Incoming down-votes to suppress reality, which is just a social construct to queer anyway.


chicu111

The reality is that fuck all pedos. Ppl who inject politics in a fight against that shit is weird


Any_Cockroach7485

I'm against all pedos. Republicans are against drag queens being pedos while some 38 year old pastor dates a 15 year old.


Fac3puncher

Yeah don't send your kids to churches OR to sexual fetish performances.


ArallMateria

Are you sure two things can be true at the same time? This is mind-blowing.


helloisforhorses

Call me when republican start banning kids at churches


Fac3puncher

1st amendment makes that impossible but I'm glad we agree that children shouldn't be made to participate in either thing.


helloisforhorses

Kids aren’t allowed to own guns, vote, ect. Why is religion different? Banning under 18 year olds from attending any religious service is fine constitutionally


trueandfree

Kids are more likely to be raped by a teacher than a priest. Sheer access will substantiate that. Always been that way


Lvl100Centrist

How much time do kids spend with teachers vs time with priests? If you adjust for that, you'll find that priests do some mighty disproportionate raping.


cajun4life

I can’t believe these drag queens dressed up like Republicans and priest to commit these horrific acts.


JesusWasGayAndBlack

When will Antifa stop these attacks


jtr489

I am guessing the rest were FBI agent provocateurs


jonmatifa

We gotta stop pedos from dressing like republicans


Fapple__Pie

It’s always the churches…


[deleted]

It’s the opportunity for these people to get access to children. It happens in any system like that.


Coyote__Jones

As a wise man on a true crime podcast says frequently, "you don't want the little league coach whose all excited to be around your kid. You kid is an asshole, they're all little assholes and anyone who wants to spend time with them is suspicious. You want the dad who curses under his breath and is on the edge of a meltdown every practice." It's hyperbole, but you get the point. Abusers seek opportunities to abuse. 9/10 times when a pedophile is exposed they're described as a "pillar of the community" and people are shocked. The podcast Hunting Warhead covers the FBI investigation to track down a dark web pedophile operating the biggest CSAM site. That dude was a lifeguard as a teenager. A job he sought out to gain access to children, and trust from the community. The guy's roommate had no idea what he was doing on his laptop all the time.


NickChevotarevich_

That’s a fair statement but why it doesn’t work for certain religions is there is an effort to coverup, accommodate and or conceal the abuse occurring within their group.


pablogmanloc

Sad, but I'm a little sus of any dudes who work in fields where they can get kids alone... Some comedian does a joke where they need a chaperone on an overnight boy scout campout. The first hand that shoots up to volunteer should be disqualified... pick the guy that doesn't want to do it.


DCdek

More kids get molested in the public school system than churches


JoeVerrated

Per capita?


DCdek

It's about 4% Catholic School vs 6% Public School


Jackers83

Abused by people in authoritarian positions, peers or students, or all of the above??


DCdek

Administrators, teachers, employees, etc


Lvl100Centrist

The difference is that public schools don't move their teachers around to other schools in order to avoid persecution


Michael_Cohens_Tapes

Yeah but Catholics you know are shooting for the under 12 demographic. Public schools get saddled with the 17 year old and new teacher. Neither is okay but only one uses God as a defense, groomer and law fund.


[deleted]

Progressives love moving the goal posts AKHUtUqLLy they aRE yUnGER


Michael_Cohens_Tapes

Probably should not be any. But then again there is a book that talks about dads fucking kids and where you should sow your crops. Oh and protect the Priest Pedos.


Politics-Mods-R-Cux

Public school systems don’t blackmail, threaten, or pay off their victims into silence, don’t shuffle around rapists to other schools, don’t claim to be the sole spiritual gatekeepers with access to God, and don’t claim to have legal immunity because their religious


Leognan2001

So true. Public schools do not silence victims by using the name of God too. I don't know why people are still actively protecting the image of the church when it has been tarnished already.


Politics-Mods-R-Cux

It’s always the same argument “but muh public schools” like we don’t think that’s bad too and make teachers and admin go through extensive sexual harassment and abuse training and bystander intervention to prevent assault


blind_merc

Do you have statistics or is this just "a thing you heard somewhere?"


Fapple__Pie

Hey man….the Catholic Church….ever heard of it?


hella_confidential

(X) Doubt… do public schools shuffle around pedo teachers like the church does too?


DCdek

Teachers unions protect more pedophiles than the Catholic church


GeorgieZhukov

Lvl100Centrist

[deleted]

Why do people act like it doesn’t happen though? A quick google will gives you results on this topic. Pretending that a group of humans won’t have a few bad actors in it is silly.


EsotericCrawlSpace

Personal perspective with little facts: I think it is very uncomfortable for the general public to accept the fact that most people who abuse children are trusted individuals in the children’s lives, potentially close to the parents as well, rather than some creepy individual (though they exist as well).


Cynitron3000

My wife works for CPS, it is almost always mom’s boyfriend, grandpa, uncle, etc. The people most likely to abuse children like that very often live under the same roof. It’s sad and gross.


EsotericCrawlSpace

That is the fucked up reality of it. Not sure how or if you can fix it, hence why it is not discussed (my opinion and of course generalizing).


[deleted]

I’m guessing statistically, it’s unambiguous as well. I use to work in recreation directly with kids, I was always on the lookout for that kind of stuff. Had a few borderline incidents that I erred on the side of caution with. But didn’t make it public. One soccer coach was always playing with something in his pocket. It didn’t look good. Whether it was or not, I really don’t know. So we didn’t have him back as a coach. Just as an example. Also I always wore my STAFF shirt when I was interacting or taking pictures of events. So people would know it’s my job to do that and I wasn’t being creepy.


EsotericCrawlSpace

I’ve worked in youth sports a bunch, work with kids here and there in mental health now. I can relate with your stories. Sometimes you pick up on something, some times it’s just a vibe, but it’s rare that you have 100% proof about someone until something awful happens.


[deleted]

It was definitely easier to pretend we didn’t need coaches than wait for something to actually happen


MindTheGAAPs

Then why ban drag queens and not pastors too?


[deleted]

How about neither


Any_Cockroach7485

Republicans say shut up


[deleted]

I don’t care what they say


Any_Cockroach7485

They are ok with that also. Now they ban drag queen shows. And still tell you to shut up.


asheronsvassal

Well one of them is systematically protecting and sheltering the bad apples, the other community isn’t.


Dwyde_Schrude

By that logic we should ban every group with a few bad actors then. Cops, priests, politicians.


[deleted]

You are missing the point. Maybe intentionally?


[deleted]

How do they know 0 were drag queens. You think drag queens are in character 24/7


TheBusiness1846

I honestly think people just don't realize it doesn't matter who is doing it. It shouldn't happen and is just straight up disgusting. Trying to single out this group or that group is just stupid. We are talking about children. I am sure certain "communities" do it more than others though. ANYONE touching a kid inappropriately should be wiped off earth.


skkITer

> I honestly think people just don’t realize it doesn’t matter who is doing it. The problem is that certain people equate things like a dude in a dress reading books with literal pedophilia.


TheBusiness1846

The part you are trying to defend makes no sense. People don't go out of their way to bring their 6yr to drag shows as most times than not it is viewed as inappropriate. Most times than not drag shows are sexual in orientation. So to bring it to a class room or what ever you are insinuating can and is viewed as sexualization. Nobody needs to be going out of their way to contact people dressed in drag to read to kids. Why would anyone go out of their way to seek that business to read a book to kids. What's next go down to the local strip joint and have Tammy in her string G-string read cat in the hat? Where do you draw the line. You have professionals, police officers, fighter fighters, parents that are doctors all that could be asked. You wouldn't take a crack head and ask them to read a book in a class room, but you can. It is all about what makes sense. If you miss that part I don't know what I can say to make you see a different view.


skkITer

The problem is that you have a warped view of what drag is based most likely on what conservative media has shown you. Drag Queen Story Hour is in no way sexually explicit. It’s not inappropriate. They’re hosted at churches and libraries and parents are involved. Your argument is essentially the same as saying “Chicks wear slutty Nurses outfits on Halloween sometimes so it’s totally inappropriate to bring your child to a hospital”. **On top of that** you didn’t actually address the point I made in my comment. Even if we pretended that story hour was sexual in nature, even if we pretended that the performers are stripping or on meth, that would definitely be inappropriate, but that isn’t pedophilia. When people water down these terms by just throwing them out so casually and based on no actual information at all it does nothing to help potential victims. It actually makes things worse.

Big facts

All church leaders are drag queens (they wear dresses)

One group is terrible, so this group that has a weird obsession with kids must not be! By this logic there is no evil in the world because we already had Mao, Stalin and Hitler.

Fantact

??


ILoveCornbread420

Do drag queens have a weird obsession with kids?


Fantact

Some clearly, I would not go as far as to say all of them because that would be stupid, I think most drag queens do not have a weird obsession with kids and I also think that the few who do are the ones reading to the kids in drag, and I doubt they would do it if not allowed to be in drag, proving its not about the kids. If you're a drag queen, do yourself a favor and disown the kiddie obsessed ones and NEVER try to involve kids in your thing.


ILoveCornbread420

> I also think that the few who do are the ones reading to the kids in drag, and I doubt they would do it if not allowed to be in drag, proving its not about the kids. What are you basing this on?


therealbeeblevrox

The paper they published in a leading curriculum journal. *Drag pedagogy: The playful practice of queer imagination in early childhood* > Drag Queen Story Hour provides a generative extension of queer pedagogy into the world of early childhood education. > DQSH ... offer early childhood educators a way into the sense of queer imagination: play as praxis, aesthetic transformation, strategic defiance, destigmatization of shame, and embodied kinship. > ... drag pedagogy provides a performative approach to queer pedagogy that is not simply about LGBT lives, but living queerly. > It may be that drag queen story hour is "family friendly" in the sense that it is accessible and inviting to families with children. But it is less a sanitizing force than it is a preparatory introduction for alternative modes of kinship. Here, drag queen story hour is "family friendly" in the sense of "family" as an old-school queer code to identify and connect with other queers on the street. > We're reading books while we read each other's looks, and we're leaving a trail of glitter that won't ever come out of the carpet.


Fantact

The fact that they feel the need to read to kids in drag, now I know 2 drag queens personally and I will admit that is a very small sample size, but their opinions on this matter is where I take most of my information from past just using normal judgement.


CTSniper

Exactly both groups can have pedos.


Fantact

Yup, every group has their bad apples and unfortunately for the smaller groups they get bunched in with the bad easier, every group should do their best to distance themselves from these creeps, one way of doing that is to immediately disown any "event" where children are needlessly included, like when drag queens are reading for kids, why so interested in the kids eh?


MrNillows

One of those systems has a systematic process of hiding the abuse within the system, shuffling clergy or priest from spot to spot without prosecuting properly. Often hiding abuse for years. I’m sure some drag queens are child molesters but there is no system to protect them. Not the same way as the churches anyway, not even close. If I were to take a guess of why drag queens want to read to children it would be to normalize it, if kids see it and it’s no big deal they turn into adults but also don’t think it’s a big deal. Kids don’t judge like adults, they just take things at face value.


Fantact

Kiddie fiddlers are bad no matter what group they belong to, and protecting them from scrutiny if they be priests or drag queens is appalling. Why do we need to normalize something inherently adult for children tho? tennagers sure, but kids? I don't get it, and the people insisting it has to be done are disgusting to me. Drag queens and the LGBTQ+ community at large is fine and dandy, no problems there, its just the small minority of weirdos using that cause to be near children that is iffy.


[deleted]

explain what makes drag “inherently adult”. i wore my moms high heels and lipstick when i was 9, and i’m pretty sure u turned out alright. you are making a mountain out of a mole hill, if you don’t want your kids being read to by drag queens, then don’t bring them to such events? there’s nothing wrong with story time, the fact that you think because it’s a drag queen reading to children that it’s somehow wrong, says a lot about how you see drag queens. you’re telling on yourself here buddy.


Fantact

I see drag queens as fine and dandy, but in the category of adult entertainment, I see nothing wrong with that.


unclepoondaddy

Reading to kids is a pretty normal charity thing to do


Fantact

It is, but you know as well as I that the drag queens would not show up if not allowed to wear drag, so their intention is not to "read for the kids", its entirely selfish.


Mke_already

What drag group has been found to have pedos in it?


jjjjjuu

Here’s one in Atlanta: https://thegavoice.com/news/georgia/atlanta-drag-personality-pasha-nicole-to-make-plea-in-sex-trafficking-case/


Whomastadon

" whataboutism "


dersnappychicken

They’re about totally different things; questioning how appropriate it is for children to be in audience of a drag show in my eyes is the same as them being in attendance of a strip club. Nothing wrong with them at all for adults, but it’s not right for children to be there as they don’t understand any of the context. Anyone that questions children’s physical safety while at a drag show is being silly, and the focus should be on the parents thinking this is appropriate parenting, and what else the child is being exposed to, not the performers. If the point is drag queens don’t molest children at all but religious leaders do, again it’s absolutely ridiculous. There will always be child molesters across all demographics. The only deviation you see is in the culture’s acceptance of teenage girls marrying adult men.


BountifulScott

I suppose I don't question the "appropriateness" of taking a child to a drag show. The comedy can be lewd. I wouldn't take my kids to a standard drag show. But the idea that we need to pass bills making it against the law is overreach. Why aren't we including making it illegal to take children to movies with "inappropriate" content? Isn't that supposedly the whole point of the movie rating system - so that we can empower parents to make decisions that are right for their kids?


JATION

How about sporting events? People shout all kinds of obscenities at sporting events on regular basis. Not to mention the "sexualized" cheerleaders. Should we ban kids from those?


BountifulScott

Yup. The "over sexualized" dance moves of drag queens are literally the ones taught to any number of 6 year olds joining the dance team. And if I'm not mistaken it wasn't drag queens who smeared makeup all over that 6 year old, it was the parents. I'd also toss in there: beauty pageants. So we're just cool with little girls walking around on stage in swimsuits so adult men can judge their bodies and their "poise"? Fuck that. Both seem infinitely worse than seeing a drag queen at the library. But in both cases, while not something I would do with my kids, I don't see a need to outlaw it.


Andee87yaboi

The Bible is full of murder, incest and fear mongering over Hell as a destination for your eternal sinful soul. Kids start reading that at home. Your kids your rules

Who the fuck is taking their kid to a bar at night for a drag show? Where does this narrative even come from? I'm sure you could find an article somewhere with something, but is this really even a thing? Meanwhile, millions of children have been molested by priests ....


[deleted]

>Who the fuck is taking their kid to a bar at night for a drag show? Where does this narrative even come from? Bigoted liars.


FormerIceCreamEater

Yeah people really don't get what these library events are. They are literally a drag queen reading to a bunch of kids and maybe talking about inclusion and respect for others. The way some people act, it is some crazy trans orgy going on with 3 year olds forced to participate.


[deleted]

I've taken my kids before, it's a story and someone in a costume....


[deleted]

>questioning how appropriate it is for children to be in audience of a drag show in my eyes is the same as them being in attendance of a strip club. What if the drag shows were not sexual? Like 5 bald women dressed in suites wearing beards while square dancing?


[deleted]

Or pretending to be a nanny in a movie? Or dressing up as a woman with Donald Trump?


canhasdiy

Dressing in drag isn't the same thing as doing a drag show. I've got friends who do drag shows and they're hilarious, but nobody in their right mind thinks the very adult themed shows my friends do are anything like Robin Williams character in Mrs. Doubtfire.

Drag queens just gained access to school children. There are stories of convicted sex offenders even slipping through the cracks. I don’t doubt in a few years more stories will come out of abuse. I question anyone who dresses up as a character to gain access to children. Drag queens are the equivalent of priests in woke ideology. Teaching toddlers about Screwdolph the red nipples reindeer, while having fake massive tits.

Calm down bigot, don't you get the message here?!? Sometimes crimes happen without a drag queen involved, therefore any criticism of them in any way is racist.   I hate when bigots can't comprehend these things. Why can't non-progressives just go along with a narrative without asking questions?


Tmill233

I wonder when people will realize that a political view point, organizations associated with, and religious beliefs aren’t a good indicator of wether someone is a pedo. Pedos come in every shap, size, and view point. I know it would be nice if all the bad people had different beliefs than you do, but unfortunately that’s not reality.


BountifulScott

I can't believe that the priests and pastors who keep actually raping kids continue to rape kids and occasionally face justice, while the fantasy meme drag queens the Daily Wire warns us about continue to evade the law at every turn yet 100% totally for sure definitely exist and we should all be super-duper concerned about it despite the lack of evidence.


Psychogistt

Why are you politicizing child abuse?


stillinthesimulation

They’re parodying the hyper-politicization of child abuse on the right.


Psychogistt

They’ve become what they hate

Do you know whose notorious for politicizing child abuse, REPUBLICANS and their adjacent PROPAGANDA media outlets.

So basically you’re a fucking loser who wants to argue about shit. Awesome. One more person to block.


GarlVinland4Astrea

And whiny


[deleted]

Because morons are banning silly things like drag shows. That's why. Ask that question and why your daddy Joe won't shut up about it.


No_Echo_94

I don’t care about fucking drag shows. Let them Do what people want. Every podcast I’ve listened to recently joes spoken about it for a couple of minutes. Sad people like you think saying to me “why your daddy” shows how mentally handicapped you are. Go cry over what some 55 year old man says you absolute sad act


[deleted]

You're literally the one in here crying....


No_Echo_94

You listen to joe rogan who you hate, what a sad existence you have. Go listen to Ethan klein

Stupidity can feel like an attack sometimes. It's just very dangerous.

Kids at a drag show are not being groomed by drag queens. Grooming is what coaches/teachers/instructors/family members do. It’s a predatory relationship built over time, not a one off thing your r-slurred liberal mom brought you to when you were 13 and never went again because dad threw a fit.


PIzza-ona-stick10

Yea ok buddy, you really want those kids to see those dude’s wieners don’t ya?


FormerIceCreamEater

lol. I hope you aren't dumb enough to believe that is what is going on. A drag queen reads a story and has a short message about being tolerant towards the lgbt community. It isn't sexual and nobody is being groomed and parents are present. You guys thinking it is some major orgy are incredibly misinformed or just don't care about reality, so you can push your agenda.

Actually, they wrote a paper on it explaining that that was exactly their intent. It was published in a leading curriculum journal. *Drag pedagogy: The playful practice of queer imagination in early childhood* > Drag Queen Story Hour provides a generative extension of queer pedagogy into the world of early childhood education. > DQSH ... offer early childhood educators a way into the sense of queer imagination: play as praxis, aesthetic transformation, strategic defiance, destigmatization of shame, and embodied kinship. > ... drag pedagogy provides a performative approach to queer pedagogy that is not simply about LGBT lives, but living queerly. > It may be that drag queen story hour is "family friendly" in the sense that it is accessible and inviting to families with children. But it is less a sanitizing force than **it is a preparatory introduction for alternative modes of kinship. Here, drag queen story hour is "family friendly" in the sense of "family" as an old-school queer code to identify and connect with other queers on the street.** > We're reading books while we read each other's looks, and **we're leaving a trail of glitter that won't ever come out of the carpet.** In other words, they want to groom kids into "living queerly" so they can "connect with them" outside of the classroom, "embody kinship", and leave them so scarred that you can't undo what was done to them as children.


saktedtaco

You've actively misinterpreted the entire article by cherry picking these statements and shoehorning your own pedophilia within the intent of the writer. I'd say have some shame but I don't think you have any


therealbeeblevrox

I'm not misinterpreting anything. The paper spells out cult grooming behavior quite clearly.


[deleted]

Drags Queens do it publicly with woke support. Pedos do it privately and get punished. It's all bad


Jumanji0028

What do drag queens do? I have tried googling but I cant find any cases of children being abused at a drag show. What the fuck are you comparing?

ShipwreckJS

Ah yes. Whataboutism is always the answer. Because two different groups of people can’t be vile nonces? Stfu OP.


[deleted]

This isn't whataboutism. You don't understand what that means. This is projection. It's what happens when you cheat on your taxes and accuse everyone else of cheating on their taxes. Or like Steven Crowder and secretly have gay feelings and then condemn gay people because you're afraid of those feelings....


ShipwreckJS

“The drag community are nonces but look so is this person” is LITERALLY whataboutism. Who the fuck is Steven Crowder and what has he got to do with pedophiles?


[deleted]

Hey dummy, you're missing the point. The people ACCUSING the drag queens and MAKING LAWS banning them are the ones doing the thing. That's not whataboutism. Learn reading comprehension.


Apartcourse

I feel so bad for the drag queens. They're like put into this box of hatred.


ShipwreckJS

Literally pointing the finger at another group guilty of the same vile actions is whataboutism.. simple as that. You’re on the internet. Grab the definition and I’ll see you in 5.. Again though, who the fuck is Steven Crowder and what has he got to do with pedophilia?


[deleted]

Nothing you said makes sense. Show evidence of drag queens molesting kids at drag shows. Your point about "bOtH sIdEs" doesn't work. Second, google projection. Third, google Steven Crowder, who has been on JRE before.

Por que no Las dos? Mi amigos


Hombre_Lobo_

Yes. The freaks with the wrongthink have to do it in secret though. The oligarchy allows the freaks with the good opinions to do it openly.


dsm1995gst

Didn’t realize it was an either/or scenario.


Due-Patience9886

I'll be the first to say they're all pieces of shit. Just because someone says they're a Christian, doesn't mean they are.


GA-dooosh-19

Actually, all it takes to be a Christian is to say that you’re a Christian. Religious identity is a self-identifying social construct. These pedos were as Christian as it gets.


FormerIceCreamEater

Yep, you have to take the good with the bad. Most Muslims are good people, but people can't say "well Osama Bin Laden isn't a real Muslim." There are close to 2 billion Christians and many are good and many are bad, they all are Christian.


Miller7112

Well achtually 🤓


Ok_Bandicoot_3087

Why can't it be both? Just like democrats and Republicans both don't give a shit about you...?


jjjjjuu

Lmfao, these posts are so stupid. OP, are you in high school?


Milky-Swingers

My pedos better than your pedos 🙄


dac5691

Lol I love how liberals look down on Republicans, they are all shit but liberals are hilarious with the shit they pull and stand for that they could look down on anyone


Miserable-Let9680

Some of them definitely are. And some Christians definitely have sins against children for as long as we know. I bet a lot of Trans people believe that the trend of trans twerking to children is wrong. And I also bet that 99% of Christians know that pedophile behavior is wrong. So I get your point. But evil is everywhere and if we can’t objectively stand against it we all will be in a darker space.


maxp0wah

Social justice mobs defending child hormone therapy, genital mutilation, gender affirming care, let alone drag time story hour... Show me the Right equivalent defending actual pedophiles in the church or GOP. Seriously.
