Go away with your moral panic bullshit. There are no "trans child strip parties".

Looks like moral panic bullshit to me.

Doublethink is a process of indoctrination in which subjects are expected to simultaneously accept two conflicting beliefs as truth, often at odds with their own memory or sense of reality. Doublethink is related to, but differs from, hypocrisy. [1]

Do you think what these tweets revealed is acceptable behavior then?

You don't have a problem with children in drag (where the 'drag mother' is a sex offender), or children being taken to venues to watch sexual performances and interact with the performers?

The lady in the first one is wearing a bikini (you can see it when she turns around) and (presumably) pasties, it's a little risque but not really much more so then a kid would see at the beach.

The second has a fully-clothed lady in makeup and headdress doing a dance that involves flashes of her underskirt, and is far less sexed up than, say, a can-can dancer, of which I personally saw plenty growing up watching old cartoons and TV shows (and have since ended up posting on the Hacker News forum which I guess is not necessarily the best endorsement). For example: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E_gKenzXMAUOs2W?format=jpg&name=...

As for the third link, I've personally found Andy Ngo to be a completely unreliable source. That said, I do believe sex offenders should not be around children, but maybe let's start with places where they're a bit thicker on the ground.

Thanks, exactly what I would have replied with.

Typical pedophile apologist response. Wouldn't be surprised if you're a child molester yourself.

This does not seem like conduct becoming of a Hacker News forum poster.

Fascist propaganda. You're linking to Andy Ngo's twitter account, and that guy is a known fascist propoagandist.

That's a shallow dismissal provided in lieu of addressing the substance of what Ngo revealed in his tweets.

Serious question. Did you watch the first link? Are you ok with that?

I'm from a different country but found the first video showed behaviour that I think should be illegal.

I'm honoured you created an account just to post these for me.

I'm just worried they never caught those clowns roaming the forest. Or the satan worshippers from the 80's. They're still out there!!

Or maybe they ran into each other and the problem is solved...
