I agree that the left largely dislikes open pedophiles, however it does seem to be heavily contextual

For example, if an 11 year old girl was dancing on stage in a bar for a group of men, it would be heavily criticized and be on all the news network, right?

Oh you're talking about the ridiculous "progressive centrists" who try so hard to be accepting but end up just being fucked

However, when the identity of the people involved is changed, the narrative is reversed

All I know is commies are all for just fucking death penalty for convicted child predators

i,e an 11 year old boy in drag dancing for gay men. That isn't demonized in the media like the former would be, in fact the event I'm referring to is unheard of by most and I've even had people who self identify as left try to defend it and accuse me of "hating all gays"

No I completely think sexualizing children is so fucked

I fucking hate this southern honey boo boo shit specifically

I'm not saying you don't, just that many on the left do not associate the reverse, Komrade

beauty pageants for children are awful and are typically abusive

I agree

I get what you're saying Billcat it's just not a generalization you can make that its mainly on the left because it's also on the right too

Meaning when these people are part of "protected classes" in the game that is identity politics it is ignored or supported, which is gros

I would disagree, I've not seen many on the right attempt to justify, say, child beauty pageants

Or any sort of pedophilic behavior.

What are y’all discussing

If you could point to any examples I would agree with you if they were valid, however like I said I simply have not seen it, and that isn't implying a lack of effort to see it

What about in the church or with other conservative people

GG @Komrade Kam, you just advanced to level 11!

What about the church and other conservative people?

Who're engaged in pedophilic activities

I'm just saying that's a very broad generalization to make

Ah, the catholic church specifically. I wouldn't really consider them "conservative" since most conservatives are protestant or baptist

They're all people

What

You can't generalize pedophilia into one group

Not to mention the pope is considered very progressive, accepting those who are LGBT and other progressive ideals

Doesn’t conservative mean that they prefer tradition over progression

And that it is not based on a religious belief

None the less the point is claiming that it's a leftist issue is like claiming racism is a conservative issue because some are opposed to other races living by them

I'm not saying one group is more prone than the other, I'm claiming one group is willing to go to farther lengths to justify it if it suits a political narrative

Once again, I'll cite to Desmond the Amazing as an example of this. Because it does not fit the widely pushed narrative of gay men being victims and children who do not conform to traditional gender norms being "heroes" and "brave" it was never reported on widely

To say the left is willing to justify it my question to you is what do you consider left and can you show evidence of the left advocating for the acceptance of pedophilia

I mean first hand evidence

I would consider those who push dominantly progressive values on the left of the political spectrum, and sure

Why is accepting pedophilia progressive??

...I never said that? Why are you constructing a paper tiger to knock it down?

You asked what I considered left, so I told you

I'm now about to cite hard evidence of an example but instead am responding to this

I'm saying how could that be considered progressive??

Pedophilia is progressive?
