I have recently discovered this twitter page (https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok) and it has been very eye-opening to the amazing hypocrisy and immorality of the wokists.
For Example, a recent story about drag shows for children:
How does one even begin to defend this?
Just totally normal behavior. Nothing to see here.
9:45 - No red flags at all! Just angry right wingers getting mad over nothing. Deny! Deflect!
Bad parenting does not excuse or is any way comparable to men putting on strip shows for children.
Worrying level of bad faith arguments in here over these incidents.
Exactly. While some are ignorant, others know exactly what they are doing, and those are the ones that need watching.
Drags shows aren’t even a big thing here.
It’s literally a handful of bars for adults.
How many kids have access to the internet these days.
I see parents happily give children their phones.
No questions asked.
Never mind what they see on tv.
There’s nothing of substance to deal with. It is literally the slippery slope sh1t stirring that we hear for anything vaguely LGBT related.
If an old man had a 6-year old placing pieces of cash inside his underwear, whilst he was standing half-naked - everyone would react the same way, in total disgust.
Replace that old man with the drag artist and, for some it seems, the real problem is actually those who just want to be outraged about something.
Some people in society need to recalibrate their moral compass if they have an issue with the former example, but react 180 degrees opposite in the second example.
Would you not be keen to know the source of the photo, in the context of it being used to rile up hate towards a particular niche form of entertainment?
If you found, for example, that the photo had nothing to do with drag shows for children, would you be wondering why it was used in this discussion?
So why bring them up in a discussion about drag? I hear what you're saying, where do you stand on NAFTA? Am I to believe you just entered a random unrelated query? You raised them not I. Whats your goal here?
"I'm going to need context before commenting on a picture of a man in sex gear with his cock out talking to a young child."
That's the level of argument we're dealing with here. Remember that when you think people may be just a little misguided, they know exactly what they're doing.
can someone clarify for me how big A Thing this is, or are people using a story from a website called 'Libs of Tiktok' as the primary source material?
Since when did the pizza start tipping the customer?
Ahh the old dismissal of the slippery slope without actually dealing with what was stated. Thanks for your empty contribution.
No, you're the one equating them, because you refuse to answer the question. I used two examples of other things, but there was no effort to suggest that they were the same. Until you made the claim.
You're still deflecting, and the accusation of equating is an attempt to discredit... which is normal on these threads.
The old slippery slope argument! Which of the Iona folks told us we’d have people marrying their horses if marriage equality was passed?
Where exactly did I make that dutiful comparative declaration now?
And what’s the source for these photos?
Is it not obvious that the first question you ask about hate stirring nonsense like this is “what’s the source”?
I’m very reluctant to get drawn into declarations of compliance based on fake news.
Because its absolutely nonsense. You are linking drag queens to beastiality and other sex acts ffs. Cop on. Shirley temple bar isn't whipping her cock out doing the lottery.
It's a fairly simple question, do you find these videos and photos to be morally repugnant? You dutifully declared them to be the equivalent to panto. I think everyone can draw their own conclusions from that.
You're very reluctant to say that adults shouldn't be exposing themselves to kids in any situation.
The first question would be- is this from an organised drag event for children, or are yiz being played by fiddles by a Twitter account that uses words like wokeists and leftists?
After my and your post, there were links provided to such events in Ireland.. so it does happen to some extent here. And if it's already happening to some extent, then there's space/allowance for it to expand in scope.
As for the parents, we don't actually know that. It could be teachers/schools/etc. But even so, don't we have laws that regulate what parents can or can't do with their children? Just because people have children, doesn't mean they have complete freedom to do as they wish.
When you use quotation marks, it it supposed to be for words that the other person actually used, and not for the words you made up in your head.
I didn't "equate" anything. I asked if you felt that some concepts shouldn't be introduced to children. Which you deflected from answering.
A drag queen not doing a drag act is just a man dressed as a woman. I'm cool with kids being introduced to that. My point, which you know well, was I don't see the entertainment value or difference between a man or woman or drag queen reading a book to a kid after the novelty wears off.
Looks like you are the one looking to get outraged.
Which part of teaching children about the sexualised lap-dancing practice of placing money inside panties is "confusing"?
The intentionally confusing tactic is to show a sexualised image from some american freak show of a website and then talk about drag shows in general as if they are all similarly sexualised.
I think my comment is quite clear. Like every single one of us were, introducing children to the concept of men dressing as women is fine with me. Kids will be seeing two parents of the same sex on TV or in life. Now don't you go equating that to letting them watch rent boys do their work up in the Phoenix park, now.
Whats with these freaks wanting to be near our kids all the time?
More deflection.
Moreover that's not what you said earlier. You compared those images in this thread to "no different to pantomime".
If only entertainers were able to tailor their content for the audience?
This is what drag shows for children look like in Ireland, for those who want to get outraged.
Yes, but we’re on about something that doesn’t even happen here, never mind it being a rare event in other countries.
And it’s the parents that take their children to these events.
