Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
Is this the point where we tell you that the levers used to toss LGBT content out of schools, libraries, and elsewhere in the US are the exact same levers used against sexual content as well? They don't even bother to relabel the levers when they do so either. All in the name of removing said content to protect women and children. Hell, you're actually doing what they want you to do by going after anyone against this under the very veil of protecting women and children.
That's why they do it like this here US, so they (and anyone who doesn't investigate) get to attack anyone against it with some form of "think about the women and children" to shut down any criticism and pushback against it, and to make it look like from the outside looking in that anyone who is against having this happen are just a bunch of '[you know exactly what word these people would intend goes here]' looking to exploit women and children.
I'm aware... Look, I just thought it was surprising that they sound like they could be posters on a struggle session here. I'm not "going after anyone against this" wtf?
You were carrying water for them. Same thing imho.
Some right wing people have learned how to manipulate well meaning people (usually liberals) to fight battles for them, and this is one of the many ways they do it. By smuggling anti-LGBT stuff in with anti-sexuality stuff, but put heavy emphasis of the sexual side to disguise the true intent. They can get well meaning liberals to think that it really is meaning to just protect women and children by using the correct words, and get these very same liberals to carry water for them, so that they have a chance at enacting their real goal of trying to force LGBT people back into the closet.
