ewwwwww, you have???
(friendly jabs aside, if you can present some evidence of children being strippers for adults... it seems really far- fetched and hopefully very rare if true. sounds pretty sick.)
this is the first famous "drag kid" Desmond is Amazing (who was
promoted on Good Morning America).
So your opinion is not really valid because you seem to be unaware of what is actually happening in the world regarding all this stuff.
"extremely sexual"? really? i don't remember seeing them dry humping a microphone stand or anything like elvis
We literally watched the same video. There was a man wearing women's underwear, buttcheeks and legs showing, rolling around the floor and spreading their legs open.
I know the standards for decency have been stretched quite far recently, but in the real world that would be considered "extremely sexual" (and kinda weird tbh).
(would you arrest elvis if he performed for kids? would you make it illegal for a parent to show their kid led zeppelin ii?)
Elvis is dead. As for the music, there is kids music created for children which they enjoy (and adults don't enjoy as much - since adults and children are
different).
I'm not against showing other types of music to young children (with discretion obviously, consider lyrics etc).
lol, ok... sure. forget the fact that MANY MANY MANY religions have and do cover up child sexual abuse and provide environments perfect for it, not to mention stamping out critical thinking and questioning authority and pushing AWFUL and abusive ideas on kids like that a place exists where a "just and loving god" will send them to suffer for all of eternity for finite sins like premarital sex... i could go on, but i don't went to derail it TOO far here.
I don't disagree that organized religion is a massive problem and arguably an evil that's goal is to control people.
However with regards to
religion, that's throwing the baby out with the bathwater (for eg. some churches cover-up for priests = therefore God isn't real).
Religion itself is highly beneficial for kids to learn about - if also given a choice and not forced into it.
i've made my position clear, i do not support it... i just do not support you making it illegal. would you make it illegal for a kid to attend a fashion show? cause they aren't INHERENTLY sexual, but sometimes....
If you don't support it, and you seem extremely liberal, then you need to explain why you don't.
Maybe you just don't want to state it publicly, but there's a reason you wouldn't feel comfortable taking your kids to that. And there's no good reason why those performers should have the right to be doing that in front of children. So either people like yourself need to police the behavior of others in your movement, other the actual police need to eventually step in.
i know. i'm against the sexualization of children, as well.
If you're ok with the stuff you saw happening, then where is the line for you?
What does the performer need to do specifically in order for you to consider it sexualizing children?
again, drag is not inherently sexual.
Yes it is.
It's gay men pretending to be women and performing outlandishly.
do you consider beauty pageants to be adult hobbies?
Yes.
i've been sickened by child beauty pageants for almost two decades now since i first paid attention to the fact that they were happening... absolutely awful stuff... but i don't want to ban them outright.
The only reason you've been 'sickened" by them is because it's a Republican thing.
If liberals were doing it, you'd be applauding the drag queen cabaret featured before the grand final.
tell ya what, if you say you want to ban child beauty pageants, i'll take you seriously on the ban children from drag shows debate.
Sure, I think they're weird and the target audience is basically pedos.
I like how you wait to see that I'm not a Republican before you take me seriously.
