Let's Talk About Media

[zitothebrave]

We're talking about the two different articles.

The USA Today - which has since been deleted - went to bat for pedophiles that the public should try to help and be more sensitive too.

I just thought the NYT article was weird. The headline said movies needed more sex and the author complained about Disney moving not having a love story.,

Headline said sex and romance. ROmance in artistic depiction can exist without sex. Sex can exist without romance. The position of that article is largely we're in that latter state. Not that I have a strong opinion on it one way or the other.

Romance and love can easily be expressed without sex to get things across to children that it's kind of normal to put all your emotional vulnerability into another person.

Pedophilia shouldn't be normalized, we as a country have failed in that for too long. Want to know what's gross, child beauty pageants.

Gonna quote myself from the other thread in hopes of finding an answer. I’m so terribly confused by this reaction from the Conservatives on the board. Is there a defense in this article for people committing sexual acts with children?

I didn't see a defense in the article. But the scientist that they quote throughout the article has been quoted himself for wanting to include the "P" with LGBTQ. Which I would not agree with and imo puts his other thoughts and research into question.

No. But that is not the issue It is the constant normalization of it... and building of sympathy for it. As jaw said, this is the early part of the cycle and you are falling for it

My problem is that you can make that claim about damn near anything if you’re going to take it to its most extreme end. Having sympathy for someone struggling with an impulse they know is wrong is much different than having sympathy for someone who acts upon an impulse they know is wrong. Finding these people and giving them a safe space to seek treatment is much better than keeping them in the shadows.

[Jaw]

IsnÂ’t this basically the exact opposite of the Trans debate? From what IÂ’ve seen, theyÂ’re basically saying we need to treat this as a mental illness so we can better allow pedophiles to come forward for help. If we agree pedophiles exist, why is it wrong to try to help them before they commit an atrocity?

That is exactly the playbook used for the mental illness formerly known as gender dysphoria. We needed to give them space to be honest about it, blah blah. There is a tremendous driving force of sexual deviancy in the social progressive movement. It's been incredibly effective. I think it's a majority now that have been convinced that two guys getting married is the same as a man and a woman.

They've convinced the Democrat party to make a huge part of their platform securing the rights of people so mentally ill that they pretend to be of the opposite sex.

Now they're polishing the turd that is pedophilia, taking the first steps to normalizing it. I predict lawsuits within a decade to try to restore convicted pedophiles "right" to work in education or childcare.

All of this is telegraphed, it isn't even a question of if they'll do it, just how long it will take the media/entertainment/academia triumvirate to pull it off. What I'm curious about is where they go next. Will they throw their weight behind the polyamory/bigamy/throuple marriage crowd, or will they move right to bestiality?

[Jaw]

When they started the pushing the "love is love" motto for gay marriage a couple of decades ago, did you guys really think they would stop there with such a non-specific tagline? Do you really not already hear the arguments in your head?

"Just as same sex love used to be forced to hide in the closet by the heteronormative bigotry of society, just as transgender people escaping the prison of their biology in a cisgender world was once considered taboo, minor attracted individuals have been shamed into the shadows for too long. Isn't it time for a culture that has made so much progress in how we view same sex love and gender to make similar progress in how we view those biologically programmed to romance with people younger than they are?"

The idea is to eliminate humanity by making us non-unique where we are all interchangeable parts.

This paves the way for Transhumanism.

The major difference to me is that none of these other “comparable” situations involve a clear victim except for the absurdity of jumping to bestiality. Polyamory or throuples involve consenting adults. Gay rights and Trans rights involve just the individual and their rights to live as themselves. “Rights” for pedophiles inherently involve someone that cannot provide consent, which you may recognize as something that the Left has been incredibly serious about. I am of the opinion that whatever consenting adults want to do with each other with no victims should be fine. You can’t have that with children, even if you don’t damn the pedophile for their urges if they don’t act upon them.

So anyone want to talk about all these media people being advisors to Trump? Isn't this the bias "the right" has a problem with? Is Maddow texting Bidens chief of staff to give advice?;

No, that’s the real news so it doesn’t matter if they’re openly sharing what Trump wants.

[cajunrevenge]

I wonder what they would call it if Maddow was texting Bidens people one thing then going on national TV and saying another?

Looks like someone willing to challenge his views and alter his opinion based on new information

[thethe]

Don’t worry. That study will be “corrected” when the science changes.

The state of Washington just required health insurers to cover gender reassignment surgery for children 13 and older, without parental consent. You'll pardon me if I lack faith in the commitment of the Left to protect children. Just frame not protecting them as providing sexual rights to the kids or someone else, and you'll have 50 year olds legally "mentoring" middle schoolers across the country. Love is love, their body their choice.

Can't get enough of it
