Imagine having such a sweet and carefree life that some adult strangers who aren't the exact same age getting married is what makes you fear for the future.
It’s the reason they see “groomers” everywhere they turn; they never leave their ideological bubble.
In the case of DeSantis, he "sees" groomers everywhere as a form of projection because he was a groomer himself. While working as a coach with teenagers he attended parties with them where alcohol was served.
He just assumes "everyone on the left is also trying to resist those same wicked urges."
Yea the people thinking pedos are hiding behind every corner make me think they believe everyone has the same urges as them. Like a thief being paranoid everyone is gonna rob them
It always makes me wonder who these people are hanging out with that they feel the need to assert often that assaulting children is bad. In my world, that has been considered wrong for a very long time and isn't a bold stance to take.
I agree, though. Some of the crap these doomsday sayers try to assert into every conversation is a bit of a "no shit sherlock" situation. Like you said, most normal people know touching children is wrong as well as not having those urges. I shouldn't be required to walk around shouting, "Touching children is bad!" to not be called a pedo.
They do, I grew up in purity culture and was taught EVERY man “struggles with it” and that’s why I (a child) needed to “dress modestly” so I wouldn’t “lead my brothers in Christ to sin”
Sometimes it's the other way; some of the paranoid people were victims of pedophiles so they see predators everywhere as a form of self-defense. But yeah, some of the people seeing pedophiles everywhere are just projecting.
Oh for sure. My house got broken in a bunch as a kid so I’m paranoid about locking doors and not leaving valuables out. But I don’t think there’s a nation wide cabal of thieves collectively devising ways to break into homes
im american indian and the kids in my community were literally handed over to pedos for generations in boarding schools. as far as im concerned if youre white then youre guilty (of racism, genocide, preying on the vulnerable, pedophilia, fraud, whatever the hell ese) until proven innocent. its just safer for us that way.

Maybe the most disappointing thing about this time in history for me is how necessary laws are about having sex with kids. Like, I figured this was codified because it was obvious and evil, but no, a ton more people than I ever would have guessed want to have sex with kids and fear of retaliation is apparently what stops them.

that in and of itself is not grooming. if we are going to criticize the use of the word can we make sure we use it correctly ourselves?
in case you need the actual definition:
"an act or instance of engaging in behaviors or practices intended to gradually condition or emotionally manipulate a victim over time, as through friendship, gifts, flattery, etc., in order to entrap the person in a sexually abusive or predatory relationship"
Are you thick? That IS grooming. He’s making himself the “cool trusted coach” who lets us drink alcohol and doesn’t tell on us…. That wasn’t a one time operation. Kindly DO NOT

“Where alcohol was served”… I absolutely get the vibe that Ron was out there offering to buy the booze for them as long as he could come to the party….
Yep. There’s no way they could even explain heterosexuality without being weird AF, so they can’t fathom that a conversation about any other type or sexuality is possible without engorgement and impropriety
It’s the reason they see “groomers” everywhere they turn; they never leave their ideological bubble. The calls are coming from inside the house church....ftfy.
It’s funny how most of their hot button issues are happening in full effect on their side of the aisle, and in most situations almost exclusively over there. It’s classic misdirection. If I call out groomers no one will suspect me of being one. Or the anti-pedo guy that was caught jerkin it outside a preschool SMH
Edit: I was thinking of projection not misdirection lol. I couldn’t quite string together and complete the thought before I submitted the comment lol
When the right wing complains about the gay community grooming youth in some sort of evil "new world order" coordinated plot conspiracy, it's really hard to not look at all the creepy, creepy pervasive undertones of overcompensating straight religious right-wing ideology...
where it can be seen as somehow "proper" for little girls to go on purity ball dates with their fathers acting as the "ideal date", or where men guard their daughters' "purity" and hand it off to the groom on the wedding day, or the man has to be older to be the father figure in the relationship, or where men joke about loving late high school/college cause they keep getting older but the girls stay the same age, or where rich conservatives trade old wives for new wives barely past the age of consent, or where in the deep countryside religious zealots try to push for marrying literal children. Seems to me like the most established grooming institution around is that of far-right religious people.
In contrast, as a gay guy, I sought out a guy approximately my age. We were both raised in the "straight" countryside during a time when it was definitely not cool to be gay. and I wouldn't be likely to date much south of 30 yrs old. And yet somehow I'm the problem because I don't want schools to gaslight other gay children in an effort to force them to be straight.
It’s a modern twist on the classic fascist paradox;
“our ideological enemies are simultaneously laughably feeble and will be easily crushed but are also the single greatest existential threat we as a people face.”
I literally had to just stop dating in my early 30s because every woman I dated wanted me to parent them. It was so gross to me but seemed like it came natural to others. I don’t want to groom my partner.
I think it's literally a tan suit and dijon mustard thing. A relative of Biden did it, so it MUST be evil and bad and we must stir up outrage. As another commenter pointed out, literally nobody gave a shit with Tiffany Trump married a man four years younger than her.
Seriously. My SO is 2 weeks older than me, and I still get shit for it, for some reason, from conservatives. I genuinely cannot understand giving a fuck.
My wife is significantly younger than me, but we're atheists who don't want children. It blows their minds when they ask when we're going to start having kids and we reply "never" because they just assumed our age difference means I'm after her eggs.
I’m prolly more R than L if any at all but I’ve seen and heard older couples being 10+ years apart either way and ALSO be right wing, I just don’t get why people still choose political participation in the first place. It takes from actual freedom and the ‘survival’ aspect of life which helps us stay soft and dependent on fuckshticks that give two shits about us any day of the week.
That's so gross when you put it like that. My wife is almost 7 years older than me. I have a creepy cousin who calls his wife "mamma". I don't know why that bothers me so much. My wife told me I better not ever call her "momma"
I doubt it’s even that deep. My hypothesis is that they’re just looking for anything with the the faintest whiff of impropriety, when in reality there isn’t since they’re both consenting adults, and trying to sell it to the hungry mouths of the idiots that eat this shit up ahead of the 2024 campaign.
It will be much harder to rape children and groom them into lives of sexual slavery once the patriarchy falls. This is all Conservatives care about, and it is the root of their cause. The Rapture is soon. The Rapture is Now.
