        I don’t think it’s good to expose children to grown men in revealing outfits twerking in front of them while kids are encouraged to tuck dollar bills into the dragqueens shirt like a stripper. Which happens and you don’t bat an eye. Just because you’re sexually desensitized doesn’t mean it’s okay to expose children to it.

          Why are you under the impression that every drag show is like that? Drag story time at a library does not involve any of that.

          There’s no sanity here man, it’s a waste of time. Hopefully these people aren’t parents. Remember when people said this would be like Reddit, but LESS toxic? There goes that!

        If I were to present you evidence of sexually explicit actions happening at a drag show in front of children would you change your mind?

          One time, no. Dozens of times, no I wouldn’t change my mind that it’s basically a non-issue, but I might believe that it’s something that actually happens amongst the hundreds of millions of people that exist in my country.

          You can find one example of the most insanely uncommon shit ever and it won’t mean it’s worth talking about for more than 30 seconds per year

            What if I found 5 examples? How many do I need before you’ll admit maybe I have a point?

              If I can go my entire life and see a handful of articles about something happening, I do not think it’s some sort of menace to society. Probably because I don’t have a hatred of the people involved bubbling underneath every thought I have concerning the issue.

              On January 6th alone I received 1000 times more proof I needed that Republicans are fucked up than decades have given me about trans people.

              I am confident you’re not canvassing the web with attacks against Republicans

                What evidence threshold do I have to bypass in order for you to believe that it’s not “the most insanely uncommon shit ever”
