There have been people floating these ideas for decades. It’s not catching on now.

- denkmoon 4y agoI'm honoured you created an account just to post these for me.
- bigbillheck 4y agoLooks like moral panic bullshit to me.
- raspberry1337 4y agoDoublethink 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] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublethink https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublethink
- vendingd 4y agoDo 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?
- bigbillheck 4y agoThe 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=large 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.
- denkmoon 4y agoThanks, exactly what I would have replied with.

- bigbillheck 4y agoThis does not seem like conduct becoming of a Hacker News forum poster.
- nyc_data_geek1 4y agoFascist propaganda. You're linking to Andy Ngo's twitter account, and that guy is a known fascist propoagandist.
- vendingd 4y agoThat's a shallow dismissal provided in lieu of addressing the substance of what Ngo revealed in his tweets.
- badcppdev 4y agoSerious 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.
- LanceH 4y agoI'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...
- encryptluks2 4y agoI'd be willing to bet there are a lot more pedo preachers saying this than drag/trans child strip parties.
