Looks 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?

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.
