They're endangering children by misusing the term grooming

[-] moody@lemmings.world 35 points 2 weeks ago

There's a reason they use the term grooming so much. It's because that's what they do, and have been rightfully accused of it so much that they need to work so hard to dilute the meaning of the word. By accusing everyone else of grooming, they make it seem like the accusations against them aren't a big deal when they really are.

Truly heinous people who do that shit.

They groom children every day and point the finger at everyone else. I'm sick of it

Man the only kind of grooming Sesame Street possibly does is having lessons on personal hygiene.

Shhh ... someone will no doubt take that to mean manscaping and bring it full circle.

Sesame Street has been grooming kids. Look at all the celebrities they had on there... They groom kids for the pop American consumerism life. Even as a kid I thought it was fucked up that they basically used the show as marketing...

Let's face it... America raped the soul of the pride movement. It's marketing, it's pop. It is manipulation. You wanna rep the pride movement? Buy guns and risk your life (don't do this.... Not advocating that). Anything else is marketing. Let's be real here, American life is bullshit and that includes sesame Street.
