Where are all the transactivists dennouncing Alok Venon and campaigning for him and his supporters to be cancelled? Is not believing that "gender identity" should matter more than sex worse than Venon's views on girls? Why can Venom get away of negative consequences while women have been harrassed both online and irl, doxxed, fired and even be physically assaulted for statating that sex matters?

I am a TRA. I had no idea Alok V Menon said this. When I googled it I found a Quora thread titled Why did non-binary transfeminine activist Alok Vaid-Menon say that little girls can be kinky too?.

One user said Alok was using the original definition of the word kinky meaning weird. But transphobes spun it to make it look like all trans femmes are pedophiles. r/NonBinaryTalk users gave similar answers. https://www.reddit.com/r/NonBinaryTalk/comments/qzr5bq/alok_vaidmenon_controversy/

Here are some interesting comments:

Alok was not saying that little girls actually want to have sex with adult trans people or whatever twisted view bigots have spun it as. They were saying that extreme archetypes of any person are inherently harmful to those people. The perfect little white angel girl doesn't exist because little girls are human, too: let them be human. Let them explore who they are and become the people they want to be.

I don't know, it's complicated. I don't think that Alok's remarks indicate that they are a pedophile. However, I DO think that what Alok said was insensitive, at best. I think that Alok had a serious point that they were making about questioning dominant narratives concerning pure victims and evil perpetrators. I think that they way that they expressed this point was extremely problematic.

Aimee Challenor was cancelled. She enraged millions. Popular subredditts like r/music went private. Reddit hiring her was a bad fuck up for reddit. r/MTF condemned her.

It's unclear if she's a pedophile herself but she supported her pedophile father and that is enough to make her an awful person.

So, you first instict was to think Alok's words were unnaceptable but after reading what the official narrative was about him, you now say he was just misunderstood? Please read the full phrase and tell me whether you think there was a sexual meaning intended or not? Do you think this is a reasonable thing to say to challenge fears of girls being sexually abused in public restrooms?

And are we sure Aimee Challenor is really gone from reddit? I mean that guy seems to be the kind that falls upwards. Before reddit he was a member of two political parties.

So TRA are supporting and protecting the man who said little girls are kinky. Providing wishy washy excuses that don’t quite cover what was originally said.

And this is good according to you?

He was maybe not talking about sexual assault even though the entire quote mentions a fear that someone like him will abuse a little girl? Doubtful.

Gb, can you visually detect that Amy challenor and his dad are pedophiles? Is there any way to tell, at a glance, whether or not they will harm you or a child if they feel the opportunity arises?

Alok V Menon isn't a man. The reason they weren't cancelled is because Alok likely meant the word "kinky" in the sense of " relating to, having, or appealing to unconventional tastes". I do agree the comment is in poor taste. Biden called baseball player Satchel Paige a "great negro" and yes it was racist and I do wish there was outrage but it's not worth cancelling.

Aimee Challenor is a she and she was cancelled for supporting her pedophile dad. It's unclear if she molested children herself but she supports people who do.

You cannot police my speech and force me to participate in the erasure of sex gb. Give it a fuckin rest, for once in your life lol.

Do you really think that “adult human females are women” is a worse thing to say than “little girls are kinky and you shouldn’t think they are pure, as in non-sexual” ?

Really? Where else is the word kinky used to describe being non comformative? Eclectic taste is not kink.

If Aimee was cancelled why were hundreds of Reddit accounts banned for calling him out? Why was he able to moderate the teenagers subreddit under a different account? Why did admins and mods move to protect Amy until they were forced to admit his role in his fathers crimes?

Why was someone who interacts with and defends a known pedophile ever allowed to moderate an online space for teenagers in the first place?

Gb, is being cancelled by the internet how we as a society decide what is and isn’t morally acceptable? Is it really how you decide whether someone is good or not?

It seems as though you are trying to claim that if someone is not cancelled, they have not done anything wrong, and that people who are cancelled are irredeemable and wrong. It’s extremely unwise to base your opinions and core values on popular media trends.

I see you have yet again decided to not answer a question asked and instead brought up Biden for some reason. Can you please answer me instead of introducing distractions that bear no relevance.
