Drag Shows!!

[The Great Zaganza]

I don't care if they don't take their kid. They are trying to prevent me from taking my kid. They are the ones who are trying to stop the other parent.

exactly.

I give you my thanks in the form of a Nomination.

You're safe there, O'Carroll's not a comedian.

Let's hope he doesn't employ sarcasm or you might not get the joke?

Hilarious. So you figure their concern, about say, a completely unrestricted Drag Queen event at a public venue..is entirely unreasonable? So you figure the best thing to do is silence their voices? That'll teach 'em to be concerned about their kids, right?

Interesting.

 

[bluesjnr]

you are projecting - big time.

I always find this accusation interesting. Would you care to share exactly what unacceptable feelings or impulses Warp12 is attributing to someone else and what it is he is avoiding confronting?

 

[catsmate]

Since when does drag = trans anyway? Drag is gay men dressing up like women, not people thinking they are women (whether validly or not is, apparently, a matter of contention).

Pretty sick that Texas, awash in guns and school shootings, thinks that the real danger is dudes in dresses. How many kids were killed this year because of drag?

Not even always gay. Plenty of cis cross-dressers and performers.

Parents are capable of ensuring their young children do not attend a drag event without massive coordination and protest. All they have to do is literally not go there....or if they end up there then leave.

You didn't address the questions I posed.

 

[Mike!]

Man, I miss the 60's and 70's, you'd never see a man on TV dressed up and acting like a lady...

 

[Craig4]

Because not wanting your young children exposed to cross-dressing freaks means that someone is "sexually-repressed". The best part is that while many liberals suggest that there is no sexual aspect to a drag show, many also clearly associate it with sexuality.

I love how some seem to think they are doing some sort of public-service by filing a false report, over matters such as this. I guess they figure that silencing parental concern is something to celebrate?

Would you rather have young men exposed to drag shows in a kind, safe learning environment or after a few too many Phuket Lagers the night his destroyer pulls into Bangkok?

If they don't learn about drag shows when they're young, they'll turn into that guy everyone knows who did a COBRA GOLD exercise in their first tour and ends up spending their life expressing exaggerated homophobia to hide their self-loathing over not being able to process their conflicted feelings about accidentally having sex with a Thai boy.

The fact that Warp sees everything as either Black or White, and isn't able to tell tolerance from stealthy social engineering;
that (according to him) not banning Drag events is EXACTLY the same as promoting them, that not banning parents from taking their kids to such an event is EXACTLY the same as mandating that every parent send their kids to them.

Warp sees Drag Shows as part of a concerted effort to corrupt kids, because that's what he would like to do: make it mandatory to send kids to Churches, patriotic parades and gun shows, so that they become True^TM Americans.

At least that's what I gathered from his previous posts.

 

[BobTheCoward]

You didn't address the questions I posed.

Because you initially posted this

Drag Queens might be fine for you and your young kids, but don't attempt to take away the voice of disagreeing parents,

That comment is fundamentally about letting parents raise their child as appropriate. I agree it is fine for my kids, and I would never force a parent to take their child. They are free to not take them.

Then you asked this

. So you figure their concern, about say, a completely unrestricted Drag Queen event at a public venue..is entirely unreasonable? So you figure the best thing to do is silence their voices?

Those parents are simply rejecting the idea that a parent can make a choice. They are trying to ultimately strip that choice from me while I was permitting them to choose.

They wish to use the list to protest events I will take my child to. That is a rejection of,

might be fine for you and your young kids,

 

[Lothian]

I would strongly disagree with that assessment. Refusing to endorse every fetish that comes along does not make someone "sexually repressed". Especially when it comes to what young children are exposed to.

It just makes you wonder what kind of man gets up in the morning and decides, "I'm going to dress like a woman, to flamboyant excess, and hopefully find some young kids to hang out with". Libs will often say, "the kids are too young to understand it". Well, if so, why are these weirdos doing it? For what benefit?

We all know to what "benefit". To normalize such abnormal behaviors at a very early age. I mean, that is the best case scenario, I suppose.

But aside from that, what is worse, is that some feel they are doing something heroic by silencing the voices of concerned parents, by doing things like spamming the website in the OP. Drag Queens might be fine for you and your young kids, but don't attempt to take away the voice of disagreeing parents, and then celebrate doing

To answer your question
"what kind of man gets up in the morning and decides, "I'm going to dress like a woman, to flamboyant excess, and hopefully find some young kids to hang out with"
I think you are looking at pantomime actors, priests and Mascots (more female animals than women).

Drag shows tend to be held in adult venues with alcohol. Children are not the audience.

Therefore reporting churches is the right thing to do. If you disagree we can play a spot the degenerate game. I cite a case where a priest has abused a child. You cite a case where a drag queen has. We alternate untill one of us runs out of material.

That is not what we are addressing, here. We are addressing matters where children are potentially part of the audience, or indeed the targeted audience.

We are also addressing the justifications being put forth that any such parental concerns should be silenced. Which is actually the larger issue, imo.

A parent with infinite concern for their child simply doesn't have to attend. They literally have an incredibly easy method to address their concern.

Bob, do you think there is a possibility that some of these shows are unrestricted? Or that a child might attend without parental consent, or with someone besides a parent or legal guardian? Do you think parents can be all places, at all times?

By your logic why do we need to restrict alcohol, tobacco, movies? After it is just a simple matter of the parent handling such matters at all times, right? Honestly, I find your argument ridiculous and not worthy of further consideration.

And you still haven't explained why it is acceptable to attempt to silence the voices of concerned parents, as some here seem to be advocating.

You want to ban pantomimes? Or are there other drag shows aimed at children?

Even if there were shows what is the objection again?

Teaching your child so they make decisions when you are not there is parenting. It isn't the job of the state to do it for you.

Further, they are trying to actually deny me as a parent because they are not able to let their child exercise a modicum of self direction.

 

[Lothian]

Honestly, I find your argument ridiculous and not worthy of furry consideration.

.

You raise a good point. Do you think the furry fetish is normal or degenerate?

Should sports mascots therefore be banned?

 

[Warp12]

So are you saying that parents should not have a voice in a what their children are exposed to? That it is ok to actively attempt to silence them? The particular objection is hardly the main point, here.

Unless the position is, "I approve of xyz, therefore nobody else is deserving of a voice".
