Defending Groomers has become a bat signal for you. Might wanna think about that.

Is it "wrong" to use a descriptive term that EVERYONE agrees is offensive ... to describe someone whose actions do not fall within that term, at least under SOME reasonable interpretations?

I guess I need to know what we're talking about

In this scenario, are the freakshow teachers trying to convince my son that if he thinks hard about he might be a girl = the occasional drinker?

Because I might argue that it's more a matter of degree than definition. If I abuse my wife but don't seriously harm her I'm arguably an abuser regardless of frequency or severity.

To the extent the teetotaler has relevance here, I'd object to that comparison if we're comparing him and his skewed views of alcoholism to parents objecting to teaching about sex/gender insanity in the classroom.

You equate (a) reading stories to kids in a public library with (b) violent anal rape in a filthy restroom.
They're all animals from the same farm. The filthy restroom was tranny accessible as set forth by the same insanity driving adults to allow tranny K-3 reading hours.

one of my favorite parts of this thread was when he tried to minimize an incident with...

quote:

He and this girl had previously met in the school bathroom for voluntary sex and had met there THIS time for the same.
She changed her mind, which she of course had every right to do.


and then quickly followed it up with...

quote:

violent anal rape in a filthy restroom.


when he needed to further morally separate that to compare it to story time.

He is almost certainly aware that his definition of "drunk" is not universal (no matter how sincerely-held by him), and is almost certainly aware that it is "offensive" to call another person a "drunk."

Yes, if he is even-remotely a polite person, the teetotaler should refrain from using that term in reference to the above-described light drinker.





Can we please fricking insta-ban analogies? They are consistently the dumbest arguments on this board that I've ever seen.

I believe this indeed happened in the Catholic Church and Boy Scouts….

It absolutely did happen. It was a pretty damned big story.

Or that it's both. What is an abuser? Some would argue different definitions. Same with alcohol, which I believe was the point.

By ALL means, please DO explain the NAP violation inherent in holding a entirely VOLUNTARY story time, as to which EACH parent has COMPLETE discretion to attend ... or not


I think...no, I know you misunderstand what the term NAP means. By your example, that I quoted, Nonagression Principle would be applied to statutory rape as long as the parent had the discretion to attend.

Grooming minors is still a violation of NAP even if the parents agree to said grooming.

Yeah I mean, we can account for perspective, but you can make a pretty credible argument that calling a light drinker a drunkard is objectively incorrect. Calling a binge drinking college kid an alcoholic is probably incorrect. Calling him a drunkard is probably defensible, however.

Calling a Libs of Tik Tok teacher an abuser, especially in light of what we're willing to put under the abuse label in recent decades (spiritual abuse, emotional abuse, etc.) strikes me as pretty defensible.

Now seriously calling one of those teachers a pedophile would likely be false, and I'd agree to that on the same basis.

First, you seem to assume that one can "groom" another person to be transgender, which I am not sure is the case. "Grooming" is more-commonly used to refer to a person trying to get into your son's pants ... sexual activity. But let's not quibble too much on that semantic point. Whether we use the term "grooming" or another term, let's assume that there ARE people actively trying to convince your son that he is in fact your daughter and that he should eventually lop-off his wiener and buy a set of bolt-ons.

The "occasional drinker" could be analogous to the person who is just not offended by the very NOTION of drag queen story hour or by the existence of drag queens. Because that is the position taken on this thread an other threads by MOST posters who have been called "groomers."

Or that occasional drinker could be analogous to the parent who takes her child to the story hour, but explains the concept to her kids. Hell, let's make her a four-night drinker to a BAL of 0.09. Still never intoxicated, but getting closer.

When we get to someone actively trying to show your son that he MIGHT BE a girl, I think that we are looking at an analogy to someone who drinks to BAL of 0.15 ... maybe five or six nights per week. Certainly more than a bit tipsy and ALMOST every day, but is that amount of drinking "alcoholism?" Subjective answer.

What about the person who is trying to convince your son that he ACTUALLY IS a girl? Maybe we are at seven nights per week and a nightly BAL of 0.25. Yeah, that person probably IS a "drunk."

The POINT is that no person who was not raised in a barn by wolves would use the term "drunk" to refer to that three-night, no-intoxication drinker, just as no person not raised in a barn by wolves would use the term "groomer" to refer to someone who just does not generally have a problem with kids being aware of the concept of drag.

This is how we know that we have found a poster who generally has difficulty following analogies.

Oh, it's even better in wider context.

Are you talking about the two kids who had previously snuck into a restroom to frick?

I'm talking about a school policy. I'm talking about a tranny who was allowed access by the school to the girl's bathroom IAW policy. I'm talking about a tranny who then took advantage of that policy and forced a 14y/o facedown onto a nasty toilet stall floor in the girl's restroom, then anally raped her.

What are you talking about?

100% false!

There was never anal intercourse until the rape. In fact, IIRC previous episodes were only oral.

quote:

I said nothing about anal in previous encounters.

Is it your position that oral sex is not sex? OK, Billy Jeff.

Indeed it was.

Recall that the original question presented for this thread was whether (and presumably "when") it is acceptable to use the term "groomer" to describe another person.

When my wife and I have a disagreement, I generally head out to the range and she does whatever she does. There are people out there who call that abuse, because I'd rather wait until we both cool off and think before addressing the issue.

That's where I was going with that. Obviously, hitting my wife is abuse. But, some have different definitions of abuse that we probably wouldn't agree with.
