What are your thoughts on this?

That you continue to defend this is not surprising me anymore
The Babylon Bee is satire.
This is saying “In your face!”

Pointing out, continuously, that someone is making fun of you is not defending them. What they were saying needs no defending. As I showed you, rephrase the whole song and it's perfectly acceptable. Saying that you don't like the term 'convert' used back at you simply confirms why the satire works.

For anything to be funny there has to be an element of truth to it. They clearly think this is funny and the truth is they really do want to convert children. That’s why it works. That’s why they find it funny .
You would defend almost any thing they do because to you it’s the moral thing to do

This is what I call sexualising children.

Living dolls: inside the world of child beauty pageants

They parade in miniature ballgowns, wear false eyelashes and can be as young as five… We venture into the world of mini beauty pageants to meet the young princesses and their pushy parents

I agree. It's creepy and unhealthy for children. It should have had a stop put to it a long time ago.

I agree, but if the child agrees and consents what difference does it make? What if the child wants to do that?

You really don't understand satire, do you...

It's a term you guys throw out all the time, so it was used, in a satirical manner, to mimic your complaints. Which were actually that to teach children kindness and respect about gays is somehow wrong. They threw that term in to trigger a reaction. Which they got. In spades. That some of you are still going on about them actually saying 'convert' is causing all that slapping noise you hear as so many of us are face planting.

Yes I do and that's not satire. It's exactly what they are doing and I proved it. You even admitted it and then went on to say that it was good they were doing it cause they are teaching kids to be good and accepting of others. You admitted to get were coming for the children. So now you want to call it satire? So are they are aren't they? Pick a side.

You've already been shown how they are co.ing and exactly what they are doing. So the jokes on you I guess for not believing them?

Wait a minute THIS is creepy and unhealthy the left says? Yet dress up kids just like that and dance for adults and get money and then twerk is not? It's also okay to teadh kids that boys can be girls and they should dress up in girls clothes and use girls name and pronouns? Get puberty blockers and hormones cause the adults are pushing it? And that's not creepy and unhealthy for kids?
I know you are not on the left and this post is not aimed at you. It's named at the foolishness of the left for being against these beauty pageants cause they think it's harmful but supporting all the other garbage and saying it's not harmful. They want to call out parents for pushing kids on these pageants but believe parents absolutely would do no such thing to their kids regarding being drag queens or queer or trans. It's ridiculous.

Looks like your're stuck in the same 'it's satire, you don't know what satire is, let me explain satire to you' loop that's been going on for the last 20 pages.

The idea is that conservatives supposedly approve child beauty pageants, so it's being used as a double standard and hypocrisy accusation.

 

[Bradskii]

..cause they are teaching kids to be good and accepting of others.

I know. The horror...

 

[Bradskii]

For someone who doesn't understand the difference between sex and gender, that's not altogether a surprising question.

Hmmm.... Never thought of that. I thought they were just pointing out the immorality of kid beauty pageants. I didn't realize it was some sort of hypocrisy thing. I don't think as anyone here ever mentioned them.

 

[rjs330]

I know. The horror...

That's what you claim. But you know good and well that's not what they are doing. You're just trying to minimize into what you want it to look like and not what it actually is. It's called denial of reality.

Then answer the question.

Well all I can do is surmise. They'd have to set the record straight on it. But it seems to that if they in general approve of little boys being dolled up as drag queens, any offense expressed at little girls being dolled up is disingenuous. Either that or incomprehensible reasoning is involved.

 

[ozso]

Then answer the question.

The saying 'trying to herd cats' comes to mind.

 

[Bradskii]

That's what you claim. But you know good and well that's not what they are doing.

It's literally what you said they were doing. Now you say it's not what they are doing.

'...they are teaching kids to be good and accepting of others.'

Pick a lane. Please.

 

[Bradskii]

Then answer the question.

One is sex, the other is gender.

If a 12 year old says she's confused about her gender, she needs our help. If the parents of a 12 year old say that they are going to present her in a competition with make up, lipstick, high heels, bouffant hair etc. then those parents need help.

Now you agree with both of those statements. How we help the first girl is a debatable point. But we'd both agree she needs it. What can possibly be said in defence of the second?

And please don't try to make any sort of point by trying to defend it. Any post that starts with the word 'So...' will be ignored.
