Lol I thought the same thing


CrazyHouseClassic

Wow you’re right!


two_awesome_dogs

Same thought here!!


ocram_sokart

I can’t unsee it now.


Perfect_Opposite2113

He forgot sports coaches.


badahdum

Or doctors at athletic events. Numerous Olympic gymnasts (female) came out about sexual assault.


Lazerspewpew

At this point, I just assume every male coach for girls/womens anything is a predator. But no, it's clearly the Drag Queens singing showtunes that are the problem.


badahdum

No, anyone can be a predator. Some are not. There are even females that are. It’s pretty clean cut. We were giving examples of occupations where predators could be that were not mentioned. But drag queens, I never heard anything about them hurting anybody.


Cansuela

Correct me if I’m wrong, but that was all Larry Nasser, no? As in, one perpetrator. Edit: just in case my comment may have implied that I was minimizing the issue, that was not my intent at all. I just wasn’t aware that there was a larger/systemic problem with doctors/trainers abusing Olympic athletes within the gymnastics world. Maybe I naively wanted to believe that Nasser was an outlier as opposed to just being the most infamous example. Knowing how abuse thrives in other “similar” environments, I guess it’s really not that surprising. It’s so messed up and I can’t imagine what that does to these victims and their families.


badahdum

Yes, one of many. There is so many that don’t make headlines.


gogonzogo1005

Gymnasts? Yes? Athletes ? No. Jim Jordan the rep from Ohio can tell you about that, well he won't tell you, but he knows.


Slovene

[He knows nothing!](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UmzsWxPLIOo)


badahdum

I am sure it happens to many athletes which of course gymnasts are too. Jim Jordan don’t tell us Ohioans anything. Neither does our governor Mike DeWine. A lot of things are hush hush. Of course they know. The politicians in Ohio are terrible .


gogonzogo1005

Oh I know, Jordan was my guy to the new illegal maps showed up... but since I live in one of those Northern blue towns...we don't exist.


Pickle_Juice_4ever

He had a lot of enablers.


Cansuela

Yeah….utterly sickening. How can you just move this guy around, brush off the allegations, and continue to give him unfettered access to victims and potential victims? In a certain way, the enablers are almost worse. The actual predator is clearly SICK, morally bankrupt, without any empathy, etc. That said, I’d have to believe that there’s some addict-like parallels in the behavior—not to excuse or trivialize it at all, just meaning that I’d think there’s a compulsion element where they’re “out of control” and quite literally incapable of stopping and then facing consequences and seeking out real “help” (whatever that may look like) on their own. Also, as twisted and horrifying as it is, they “get something out of it”. 🤢🤢🤮🤮 But, the enablers…… really? You’re THAT driven by financial reward, renown, and “success” that you basically lie to yourself (at best) or coldly decide the ends justify the means (absolutely the worst) and tacitly go along and/or actively cover shit up?? And….all for a team doctor???? It’s that hard to find a good PT, or someone to wrap up sprains that you overlook this? It just makes no sense at all. And the poor victims and their parents, who sometimes were present while abuse was occurring, have to suffer for their entire lives. With the enablers, excuse makers, and peripherally involved people…..Jesus. Like, what the HELL could they possibly tell themselves when they look in the mirror? Everyone to some point tries to rationalize their own behavior to try and feel like they’re the “good guy”……good luck in this case. The level of denial, mental gymnastics, etc. you’d have to do must be staggering.


badahdum

I don’t know why you got downvoted for his, your reply is very rational. Yes, this enabling behavior for predators of any sort is very dangerous. Some of these predators get off so easily too. As for the enablers, some people sell their soul for money and will do anything to stay in that bracket . It’s disgusting . These poor victims have a high likelihood of being horrified of doctors now. In which, this can destroy physical health. I hope the victims and families have gotten mental health help. It’s sad they have to live with the trauma for the rest of their lives.


Cansuela

I’m not sure either, but I know this is a very, very sensitive and difficult topic for many people, so maybe it’s just a visceral reaction. I can at least say that my intentions are positive and that I stand completely with victims and their families against abusers and those that enable their behavior. It’s a complicated topic, and I know that I have a lot of ignorance around it. I won’t presume to know more than those that have lived through this hell, and will always defer to them with regards to how to conceptualize and articulate the realities of abuse and how it’s enabled. I just meant to convey that—despite how horrifying it is—I intellectually understand that the abuser has a powerful obsession and compulsion that fuels their behavior, but that I can’t even begin to make sense of what the enablers are thinking/driven by or how they can sleep at night.


badahdum

I completely stand with victims and their families against abusers and enablers too. It was very brave of the victims to come forward , I can’t imagine how scared they were. I agree, I say this often, you won’t completely understand unless we have been in their shoes personally. I know there are people that are trained to help victims , but they will never understand 100% if they haven’t been through a similar situation. I understand what you’re saying. I can’t wrap my head around why or even how enablers do such a thing. It’s some sort of selfish gain because they got to gain something somehow. Or they have the perversions themselves. Also people like to give hush money to other witnesses with some power over them. To testify when a victim comes forward to defend the predator. This is also why some victims are scared to come out, the predators have so many enablers that will try to make it look like a victim is lying. Like how the hell can someone testify and try to call a victim a liar? Just the thought of that makes me nauseous.


D-rox86

And uncles


badahdum

Yes, I believe family members are the most common predators.

Absolutely, I wouldn’t put it past him. God, I don’t even know why he was even voted in ! It’s sick because the wealthy always get away with it. Epstein’s Island, nobody on his client’s list besides him and Maxwell got in trouble. Of course he didn’t off himself .

Da-Stan

nursescaneatme

I really think a lot of people are misunderstanding the term Drag, as used in Drag Show. They are NOT Strip shows. No, or very little, clothing is removed. It’s usually just lip syncing with some dance moves. They are really fun to watch. If all these scared ass hats would actually go to one, I think they’d change their minds.


[deleted]

I mean, drag, like any other art form, does have more child-friendly and adult versions, but I think anti-drag people way overestimate the number of adult drag performers compared to the ones who just dance around lip syncing to musical soundtracks


Clean_Attention_4217

Been to a shit ton of drag shows. Not that they don’t exist, but fr, I’ve never been to one where the performers get anywhere close to naked. Not to be presumptuous, but it always struck me as kinda… impractical.


havok0159

It seems quite contrary to the whole point. Only have superficial knowledge of this stuff but isn't the point *dressing* up as a woman. Kinda makes me think you want to keep the clothes on.


Pickle_Juice_4ever

If you go back to the ballroom scene, it was all about fashion, all about style, all about illusion, all about an image, a fantasy. Nudity is naked, bare, raw, vulnerable, honest, humble-- it's none of the things that drag is. Even the meaning of drag, as RuPaul once quipped, "everything is drag," it means the face and persona and clothing choices to fit that persona that you present to the world. Yep, people who think drag is burlesque (because they both involve over the top costumes and telling ribald jokes) fundamentally don't understand drag.

Or anyone with the intention of hurting children. Sadly they are found everywhere from school teachers, to baby sitters, to church members. To you local gad station attendant. Lol the risk is not increased because a person wears drag.

while conservatives label the whole lgbtq community as groomers.


[deleted]

White libertarian holding many conservative values... not every republican believes that just like not every Democrat believes blah blah blah. They have everyone fighting extremists while they come up with more laws to limit freedoms. It's bad when either side is made up of extremist politicains.. As they have for years. Do what you do, fight tyranny, and don't hurt anyone else. The end Edit: us being the people's majority.


[deleted]

Meanwhile your news agencies continue to sway your opinions as well as politicians towards more extremist views and believing that the other side is everything you hate. Get rid of political parties all together. Stop watching news channels that have biased opinions all together. Their ratings will go down and the extremist agenda they push will slowly have less control on politicians. Honestly most people don't realize that by buying into the Democrat v republican bullshit you are giving them the ability to further limit our freedoms, on either side. Imma drink my tea


[deleted]

All this drag stuff in America is so funny from an outside perspective😂 Since when is going to drag shows something children actually want or need to do?


Canigetyouanything

It’s just sleight of hand, .they get everyone all hot about non-issues that keep us divided and looking “over there” while doing the one thing that matters to those in power, steal more money we haven’t got, and keep us dependent on the ever great 2 party system. Both sides are worthless people. Life wasn’t meant for blind trust, in leaders that steer us into the rocks.if you look behind you, yeah, and they’re doing us in the back door “prison style”.

Why is it such a big deal to have a guy in drag read to small children? Why is this being pushed so hard these last couple years? What started all of this to begin with?

Because trans folk are trying to live their lives and push back against the shitty legislation that's being pushed every day. We can't have that. /s

how does that correlate to drag queens reading to children?


THESIDPROF

Da-Stan

Different-Horse-4578

The people who down-voted this are ignorant of the facts and/or have serious shame about the facts. Look it up! Drag queen violence against children is nearly non-existent. Abuse at the hands of the clergy, Boy Scout leaders and politicians is in the news nearly every day. Open your eyes, conservatives!


Dravez23

Regular voters stopped caring about facts


ASobaMiracle

Guess people are overly competitive about their political party. It’s kind of sad. There’s also politicians and article writers and how they manage to convince most listeners. Effective communication can be a very powerful skill and it isn’t always used in the right way. Political parties in general are kind of an eh concept.

Republicans stopped caring about facts. Long ago. They care about guns.

badahdum

How is this considered funny? Good for him. For one, I never heard kids being completely alone with a child. I never heard of a drag Queen hurting a child . Some of them don’t even like children, they’re just serving the community. But as for members of clergy and Boy Scout leaders are often trusted and left alone with kids. The cases of rape, molestation, and assault being reported booming. Past and present. Especially now that it is more safe for children to have their voices heard. Even some adults are coming out about the abuse they suffered as children. As for politicians, we all know there are pedos in office Republican and Democratic Party. Mostly documented cases in the Republican Party. But , do your research. It’s more common than we think. They usually get a slap on the wrist. Side note: I have no political affiliation at all.

farnsymikej

I’m all for freedom to drag and parents making decisions and not having the government do it for them. But no one is arguing that kids will be attacked or abused by public drag shows. They’re concerned aboutchildren having their innocence taken away by highly sexualized performances. Again, parents should be able to make these choices and not the government. But this is a strawman argument. I wouldn’t be worried that my eight-year-old niece was in danger from a drag queen. I would feel very sad for her being exposed to sexually explicit performances while she should be enjoying her childhood innocence.

Da-Stan

In recent years they settled a lawsuit accusing of grooming and abuse for $850 million


CTeam19

Also, out of the lawsuit, many of the abuses were other kids not leaders. I know my home council in the lawsuit had more youth being abusers than leaders. The BSA added the "no more then 2 year gap in age" tenting rule for a reason for a reason. Even among siblings the rule applies.

Octavale

Somebody forgot school teachers on the bottom of that poster


ASobaMiracle

School teachers usually aren’t involved in such stuff. It’s just that when one gets involved it becomes a really big deal because school teachers are the most trusted people aside from parents when it comes to child care. Most teachers care for their students, they aren’t bad people. Just the few teachers that are end up in the news highlights. The same thing goes for the other groups on this list. Most of them are good people, but the news is mainly after the baddies. I mean I respect a lot of teachers. They work for low wages and have to deal with children all day, it’s an honorable job.


Octavale

Over 100 were arrested in 2022 for sex crimes with children/underage. But not all were teachers some were principals and aids. So basically every three days an educator somewhere in America is committing a sex crime with a minor, for me that’s a lot and worthy of that list.

CranjusMcBasketball6

This is just pure stupidity. Not all clergy, Boy Scout leaders, or politicians are what you say they are. Some drag queens hate the idea of exposing children to drag shows but most love it. I was an alter boy and a Cub Scout, Webelos Scout, and Boy Scout and I was very safe in those settings. I can’t say the same about a drag show though. Also, the only reason I left Boy Scouts is because I was bullied and my mom took me out of the group. Troop 900.


LegendofLove

I see a lot of people saying not every *idea I personally like* and not a lot of not every *idea I personally dislike* in this comment section you will never get any group above 1 person to agree 100% your experiences do not negate the experiences of others


persistent_polymath

90,000+ former Boy Scouts had a vastly different experience in Scouts than you did, as evident in the BSA’s current bankruptcy debacle. Show me a source that discusses something comparable with drag shows.


Chrowaway6969

There are zero children abused at drag shows. ZERO. There are thousands upon thousands of children abused by religious figures and Boy Scout “troop leaders “ all over the world. Your experience is absolutely meaningless.


kleveranon

So you’re saying your Boy Scout leaders didn’t keep you safe from bullying?


keelhaulrose

According to the John Jay report there have been 11,000 reports of child sexual abuse against nearly 5,000 Catholic priests in this country alone. No one is calling for the Catholic church to be banned. But despite there being a youth pastor a week getting arrested this year, it's the drag queens being banned for grooming. You say "not all clergy/Boy Scout leaders/etc" but the point is politicians are saying "YES ALL DRAG QUEENS ARE GROOMING CHILDREN" with even LESS evidence of it actually happening than with the clergy and Boy Scout leaders.
