I was wrong

it wasn't 40,000

I personally do not comprehend the simple fact that going to prison for literally anything other than treason or otherwise directly attempting to undermine or violently manipulate the government and/or democratic process removes your right to vote in the US, but that's just me.

it was 200,000

My bad.

There was a time when we would laugh at the idea of people legitimately trying to claim that 'there is no such thing as biological sex', and made a joke of it, only for it to actually happen later on.

there was a time the onion was satire and not actual news

It seems to keep happening with the left: we would come up with a new extreme to try to laugh at, only for them to actually start preaching that extreme down the line later on.

le 'virtuous pedophile'.

did you say MTG judges?

I'm honestly surprised that hasn't taken off yet. They're a little bit late to the party on that one. They should have been glorifying pedophilia by now.

I mean... It's all part of the process.

I'm just waiting for the term 'pedosexual' to join the LGBTXYZBBQ acronym.

seems relevant

It's one of the last 'wrong' and 'taboo' dragons they've yet to slay.

It already has, Jaden

In some areas, it definitely has.

I can assure you, it's coming.

my personal favorites on that list are "Mum-Zi" and "Zi". And by favorites, i mean fucked up and someone needs to be stabbed and let slowly bleed to death

When I lived in DC, I had a couple of roommates that would talk about the latest Salon articles, etc.

you know, there are pedophiles on the right too i imagine. I mean, the right still has the catholic church doesn;'t it?

That sounds about how they would do it: "pedos are 'victims of the far-right' social stigma" to try to rally the left to their cause.

And publications are posting it without question

and people are buying it without question.

Maybe not all of the people

but enough

well, they buy into male feminist allies too

and by 'people' I mean readers of rags posting shit like this.

@Grenade123 Yes, there no soubt some on the right...but which side is it that typcailly pushes for these freaks to be "normalized"?

It just doesn't take 'a majority' to get anything done. You just need enough movers and shakers and manipulation, along with a compliant and inactive enough of a populace.

@Chijohnaok idk. One side normalizes, the other side just hides them and pretends they are normal

That's basically the same thing....

exactly

Question: I know the Catholic Church was big on the shuffle and hiding of priests. Are you saying that the RC church is "rightist"?

I'm not sure what churches you grew up around, then, because the typical response I hear from religious people is that pedophilia is monstrous.

I mean, on any given 'team', you've got thought leaders, and you've got the initiated.

The majority of people fall between that, though

@JadenFrostwolf and i used to hear "homosexuality is a sin" from a lot of republicans before they were caught with a male escort so you know...

And choose to side with one or the other for various reasons - often which path has less resistance
