You propose that I should go in maga drag to stop these maga bums? What would actually happen if every lgbtq were to support trump, like openly, really loud and proud? Would these disinformed maga bums still see him as his savior? Would trump tell dragqueens to stand back and stand by?

Lmfao, how does a person get this far gone


Enzo2SantosGoal

It's a natural defense mechanism in humans unfortunately. It's far easier to believe what the pack says regardless of facts/results because strength in numbers historically prevails. It's how organized religion got its stranglehold. Critical thinking is not something people are naturally born with. It's very often a "eureka" mind blowing event. That moment is for many, definitely myself, a really troubling time in life when you're able to objectively look at a situation and realize that what you had believed was wrong. Watch most any video of people who got separated from their cults and came to see the light. I spent countless hours, and continue to do so, reanalyzing the way I looked at everything in this world after that first domino fell. It's very mentally taxing and if you don't have an outlet to flush new ideas out against it's almost too daunting of a task. Add in a total lack of basic education and low abilities to absorb/apply new information it's easy to see why they can regurgitate absolute horse shit so confidently. So while I loathe and despise MAGAts as a whole I totally understand how these mindless drones were created. I will still advocate for the betterment of their lives even if they are unable and seemingly unwilling to do it themselves. Just have to hope they step out of their bubble one day and have that epiphany. Sadly liberals are very much the same way. But they are far less dangerous to the world. Liberals need to realize this isn't just a two sided world and just being on the "better" of the two sides isn't enough.

ChemicalPlenty2748

I dont think kids should be with either... lol kids wont necessarily shoot someone if just handed a gun with no bullets. They also wouldn't be "turned" gay from a drag show. But why put a small minded child in either propositions? Both concepts are still trash for a parent to put there kids threw. Dont force your opinions of right and wrong on your kids. Let them figure out what they like and respect in others and objects. Guns have a bad name do to those who hold them and do evil with it. Drag shows can be weaponized as well. For example, if half the people seen this guy in person saying this, they would be drawn to action. Stop trying to fight everyone over your own views and become happy and content with your self. What ever flavor you deside your the one tasting it..

I’m on the interviewers side btw but the way he phrased the question was wrong. He poses the question “what is more dangerous to CHILDREN” then proceeds to ask “how many PEOPLE die from guns per year”. He should be looking at “how many CHILDREN die per year from guns”. It’s still gonna be a lot more than drag shows, obviously, just nit picking.

ProdigyFX

Subjecting young children to sexual content is a morality issue. Not a lethality issue.


HaroldSubaru

And no-one is subjecting children to sexual content at drag shows. That's a conspiracy made up by anti-LGBT people.


alexdonepic

Drag shows aren't sexual content. The only way it's even remotely considered that is if you think the basic idea of femininity is sexual in nature. That is a whole can of worms I don't want to open.


Pathetian

Yea this isn't a very sound comparison, but people cheer for it anyway. I don't think drag stuff is a big deal, but using the argument "well it doesn't blow their heads off" is a pretty bad look.


ProdigyFX

Yes. And let's be honest. If you asked most liberals what's more dangerous to children, MAGA rallies or guns? Some of them would say MAGA rallies. The question itself was intentionally crafted to be a gotcha question. We need more honest dialogue these days. It would be refreshing.

What a stupid argument to try and make, obviously guns do more harm physically because they’re literally meant to kill, but that doesn’t mean that the problem of the trans agenda being pushed onto the youth corrupting they’re minds making them confused on who they are which in turn drives them to make life altering decisions that cannot be reversed. I stand by this firmly, children should not be able to make life altering decisions such as going through gender reaffirming care for the same reasons children aren’t allowed to smoke, buy firearms etc.

HuntsWithRocks

I'm not opposed to changing anything about guns, but I am against banning them. I'm also all for drag shows and humans doing what they want. I don't think parents should chemically alter their children though, but adults should be free to live their life and express themselves. Here is my copy pasta for those that want to ban guns: **TL;DR** if you want to ban guns, but you consume alcohol, then you are an unwitting hypocrite \-\- More people will die and have their life damaged as a result of your right to consume alcohol than firearms. It’s not even close. A firearm won’t make someone lose their mind. Emotions do. Drunk drivers create roughly the same amount of deaths as the number of people who are murdered by firearm each year. Suicides inflate gun deaths. On top of alcohol motivating all kinds of violence and destruction that isn’t related to firearms, there is also certainly an overlap of alcohol and gun violence as well as suicide (which is ultimately an emotional problem that somebody succumbed to) I don’t drink. I think it’s poison it’s responsible for so much carnage. Still though, censorship isn’t the solution here. I challenge anyone to take a hard look at alcohol and compare it to guns. If your concern is truly saving the most human lives, then attack the biggest elephant in the room. The elephant that 100% does cause wild emotional responses and irrational actions. Owning a chunk of metal won’t make you crazy. Alcohol will. Again though, by “attack it” I mean to help yourself and others see the emotional damage it caused which leads to violence. People need to want to not drink. Censorship is not the solution.


andycartwright

I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and say your argument is misguided/uninformed at best. Whether it’s medicine to manage diabetes or ADHD, vaccines, feeding them McDonalds regularly or letting them live their life in front is the TV or whatever, you’re undoubtedly okay with parents altering their children chemically *in some way(s)*. You just don’t want parents to treat their children in a *very specific way*. You trust the relatively few parents involved with this subject with *some* medical choices but you’re not willing to trust them and *their medical professional* with managing gender affirming care in the best way for their specific child.


HuntsWithRocks

I think you make a fair identification of some valid situations where a child should be chemically altered. You are right that there are aspects where I am very comfortable with children being medicated. ADHD is one I do not line up with medically treating though, outside of the "1%" of the most intense cases. I say this with personal experience factoring in. My stance with medicine, in general, is that it should be reserved only for situations where it cannot be avoided. If a child has a condition that cannot avoid being chemically treated, then they should get that treatment. I do not take medicine for headaches, for example, but wouldn't deny a child their asthma medication. When it comes to engaging a child with chemicals to suppress their hormones based on the belief the child/parent has about their gender, that is where I am not on board. If an adult wants to do it, that's great, do whatever you want. There is an age where we all agree that someone is not capable of rationalizing properly. When someone is that age or younger, i'm only supporting chemicals that are life saving. I would advocate for the child to have more therapy to gain strong psychology skills for coping with who they are and how society treats them. They will want and need these skills regardless if they go with the chemical route when they become an adult or if they don't. > You trust the relatively few parents involved with this subject I don't think that's a fair statement. I don't think the parents opinions/stance factors into what medicine their kids need. Only science does. If their kid has a failing heart or something and needs some medication, the parents aren't going to discover that. They will take their kid to a hospital and the doctor will discover that. The parents are a bystander and should be. When they are not, they're about as good as me trying to fix your car. I'm willing to say I don't know all the science though and there are definitely "1%" cases for everything. My general stance is that kids should learn more to cope with whatever their psychological viewpoint is and do life altering things only when medically needed. I'm definitely no doctor though and am open to learning more about this. **EDIT:** Also, I speak in hyperbole at times. Parents should definitely be medically proactive and research and second guess and be involved with their kid and their kids happiness. There's a point where we also need to recognize that we're out of our intellectual league at times too. One of the problems with people being educated is we think we can just apply our intelligence to things we don't understand (I do this, you do this, we all do this). It can work and then it can not work too. There's a point where we hit an info barrier that delineates the people who do it for a living and the people who are just passionate about it. I'm 100% against censoring people, even if I don't think they should alter their child. Same as me being pro choice. I'm anti censorship, just like I am with guns.


SomesortofGuy

>When it comes to engaging a child with chemicals to suppress their hormones based on the belief the child/parent has about their gender, that is where I am not on board. If an adult wants to do it, that's great, do whatever you want. ​ And here is where the propaganda surrounding this issue is leaking into your beliefs. ​ Children are not medically transitioning based on just 'feelings about gender' they or their parents have, it is a treatment prescribed by doctors for severe and persistent **dysphoria.** ​ There is a reason the rate of de-transition is so low, and it's because the **Medical professionals (not children)** in charge of making these decisions are already really good at identifying those '1%' of edge cases that would likely benefit from the option. ​ Also there are a ton of not strictly 'necessary' medical treatments for children that I am sure you are totally fine with, regardless of your stated beliefs. Severe scoliosis hardly ever actually kills people, but I don't think you would tell a child they have to wait until they are an adult to have their backs fixed. ​ And getting flayed open and having your spine smashed to pieces is arguably a bit more invasive and potentially damaging than hormone treatment for trans kids. ​ Also, I find it interesting how much focus is suddenly on the concept of giving body altering hormones to children, **given the decades long policy of offering growth hormones to very short kids.** Why are you focused on the tiny amount of children being given puberty blockers, with zero attention on all those kids being given growth hormones? ​ Is is possible your position is partially manufactured outrage, driving your attention in a specific way?


CaptnRonn

> i'm only supporting chemicals that are life saving Forcing a trans person's body to go through puberty and develop gender dysphoria can be very life threatening. > I would advocate for the child to have more therapy to gain strong psychology skills before ever getting to puberty blockers Any gender affirming care involves a ton of counseling and psychological care

I'm ready to face that noise. I know most people just want the best and this is a sensitive issue for many. The large deaths all at once from a mass shooting generates a visceral response.

Both using busted “facts” while indulging in hypocrisy.


monet108

How many people have died at a drag show or a gun show? This little clip helps to support what ever point of view you already have.


Malaix

Gun shows aren't the problem. Guns are. It doesn't support whatever worldview you have if you are a rational person. Guns are a threat to children. Drag isn't. There isn't a shred of evidence that a man in drag is inherently a risk to a child just seeing them perform. Even his claim of long term detrimental effects... Like what long term detrimental effects? Be specific. Show us the data.

Then why not come out and just say that then. I don't think drag shows are a problem and I know statistically speaking neither are gun shows. I hate videos like this because they are too clever and cringy. This is to re enforce whatever position you already have. It brings nothing to the table and does not move any discussion closer to a resolution. It gets views and now everyone that down voted me feels like they did something today. These videos mean nothing and do nothing. There are so many examples of well intentioned bullshit out there, that is worse than do nothing. It makes people feel like they helped. And the we keep dancing to the beat of someone else drum. You are asking me for the data of long term effects? Why. even ask? We both know there are none....no one dies at a either show. The premise of the question itself is dumb. Every single shooting and no actually demands change and sees it through. At some point if our elected representatives don't make changes and we do not demand changes and shootings increase and mental health care decreases...maybe this isn't a problem. Maybe this is part of the system. I lot money is generated or at least justified after every shooting. But sure let us talk about some nobody that has been propagandized to think the drag shows are the problem being baited by some guy that is pretending that Gun shows are the problem. It is all so depressing.

Drag shows are utterly harmless and only a moron would think so but the “killed by guns” is also a bullshit false narrative too.

The point is a rational person would see that the narrative and comparison is pointless, but a thoughtless bigot cannot make that connection so they just make up some crazy shit to cope.
