This country has ceded the moral high ground to religious conservatives for far too long. They never had it and their adoration for Donald fucking Trump of all people proves it. It's time to point out the obvious: they're the ones whose minds are in the gutter, constantly worrying about women having the right to have sex without procreation, what consenting adults do in their own bedrooms and who’s got what genitals.

Fucking.

Weirdos.

@Moltz And also masturbation. There, I said it. Nearly everyone masturbates, and the vast majority of people learn to do it long before they become adults.

@Moltz Their entire line about the “innocence” and “purity” of the youth is all about control, and not just physically, but socially, culturally, *philosophically*. If it were widely accepted that young people (but especially children) are vulnerable, impressionable, and mentally incompetent, then they would be much easier to dehumanise, deprive of human rights, and subject to abuse.

And, so it has.

@Moltz You know, these notions were challenged during the height of the Sexual Revolution and the gay liberation movement of the 1970s and continued well into the eighties. Then, some high-profile murders and sex crimes occurred, and the reactionaries of the day seized on the opportunity to institute legal protections for young people whilst moral-panicking about the gays. Such legal protections, though, tend to slide all too easily into legal repression.

@Moltz One of the most fundamental and absurd contradictions of this mindset is the sheer amount of time and effort that is spent trying to make chіldren everything we already believe to be natural, inborn, and unchangeable. It’s *almost* as if the core assumptions that form the basis of reactionaries’ worldviews are simply…incorrect.
Show threadenoch_exe_incJul 31, 2024
@Moltz Now for the real spicy bit. Since the view of “innocence” and “purity” is at odds with the existence of chіld sexuality, which must grow and form despite the former’s implication of its absence, our society and culture has become conspicuously preoccupied with preserving the innocence and purity of children. Because it’s so unthinkable, even the smallest things, like sex education or a gay character in movie, are automatically catastrophised as threats to the stability of society.

@Moltz @lisamelton They really are creepy. If a guy showed that much interest in what’s in someone’s pants, or where someone uses the bathroom they’d be slapped with a restraining order.

@Moltz

Their moral superiority, based on the false belief that fetuses are equivalent to human beings, gives them license to behave and act however they want
