I can't make sense of the part about gay participation. can anyone help?
step 1. make minorities out to look like morally repulsive sexual deviants and perverts just by virtue of existing
step 2. make deviant acts illegal and punishable by law
step 3. broaden the definition of pedophilia
step 4. increase the punishment for pedophilia
step 5. either imprison or put on death row any individual who dared to perform a "deviant act" "near" a child (gay or trans teacher? jail)
mix and match those steps and gradually increase the moral panic
have you noticed how conservatives' "strongest" "arguments" against trans people are often sexual or "think of the children" in nature? "we don't want drag queens reading to our children" "someone taught our child pronouns!!!" "we don't want the transes in bathrooms, it's to keep women safe"
well, the same exact arguments were used by conservatives against gay rights, and though it may not be as apparent to younger generations living in first world countries where gay rights have been around for most of their lives - for older gays and those living in second? world countries (think not first world, but not third world), we still get to hear this exact song and dance in reference to gay people (trans people were/are an afterthought most of the time, but often also just labelled as gay "she used to be a man and i had sex with her que the character vomiting")
it's all so that the mere act of existence of a minority shifts to being seen as inherently deviant and morally repulsive. side note, this is why it honestly baffles me that gay people against trans rights exist, like guys, haven't you heard this story before somewhere? but then trans people against trans rights exist, so i guess cognitive dissonance shouldn't surprise me anymore
and though i'm less knowledgeable about POC rights, from what i know, and a quick google, it seems that was the same dance too, to a slightly different song but same dance nonetheless, an attempt to label them as inherently deviant and violent, so that any person who wants to appear as an upstanding citizen has to oppose their rights on moral grounds
"Second world" means Warsaw Pact/Soviet.
amazing blind shot from me then, i'm Polish lol
thanks for this very clear and concise writeup. enjoyed reading it (if you can even enjoy the subject of discrimination?)
Basically it would make being gay and any form of gay porn illegal
oh, it says "content" not "consent". sorry, lost my ability to read for a second
Mate I read it three times and still read “consent”. Only on the fourth time did I read “content”
