“Criminalizing sex crimes against children is inherently anti-trans”. What did he mean by this? When they show you who they are, believe them.

So... what he just said is that their plan IS to commit the act of diddling kids..... WELL WE GOT ALL THE PROOF WE NEED FOLKS!

On second thought, what the fuck is going through their head?

The rantings of one honest criminal fool isn't enough to condemn the entire bunch, but it certainly hints at the intent of a subculture within.

The casual accusation of "hate" that is used is increasingly interesting.

I wouldn't be surprised if the visceral feeling associate with the term "hate" begins to quickly lose it's psychological gravitas.

Similar to how "antisemite" has lost it's forceful edge.

There's a meme bouncing around their echo chamber linking a bill forbidding minors from attending live adult performances (like drag shows) and this bill (executing for sex crimes against children), saying one will lead to the other. Surprise, surprise, loony troons are delusional.

WTF does this have to do with Star Trek?

Looks like a star trek subreddit. It's the classic case of political creep on reddit I guess. The political zealots need to insert culture war politics into everything then heap abuse against anyone who complains whether they agree with them or not. Usually starts a flame war and kills whatever online space they infect. Conservatives do it as well as you'll see if you let the religious zealots have free reign to condemn everything they don't like as blasphemy.

Yeah, maybe a little bit, but by far the main political dynamic I see on Reddit is leftists just assuming everyone agrees with them. The person who posted this probably figured 99% of r/StarTrekWhatever agrees with him, and didn't consider his post any more political than, say, a meme celebrating the allied victory in WWII. That's how smug those motherfuckers are.

Reddit in general has an extreme left leaning bias. It's become more pronounced as they purity spirals banning anyone they perceive as a "right wing troll" even if they are banning people who are more or less leftists themselves.

It's a common problem in politically "woke" spaces of any persuasion, why the old adage of "don't talk politics or religion in mixed company" existed.

The real problem with Reddit isn't so much that the users have such biases but the way the upvote downvote system works and the ban happy mods does more or less mean that you won't see many right wing positions getting much coverage unless they are in the context of leftist outrage over them. It's very much an echo chamber.

The star trek subs in general have had a lot of problems. Most people didn't like the newer star trek series for various reasons, politics not withstanding, but it turned into a purity spirals, and the moderators of the main star trek sub were going around banning anyone who criticized the new shows. An alternative sub formed that was less censorious but like all the alternative subs on reddit that formed due to poor moderation on the main sub it was eventually banned.

Reddit moderators are mostly spoiled adult children who can't function in the real world where the might have to actually have a conversation with someone who doesn't share their views, instead they have a pathological need to cultivate a space where they can wield their dictatorial aspirations to power to ban any kind of opinion they don't like so they can maintain a fantasy where they are well liked and their opinions popular against the brutal reality where they are the exact opposite of what they aspire to be.

ban happy mods

Yeah, like Board_Gaming, who was perfectly content to run r/Braincels with a very light touch until the actual Reddit employees decided to ban it. Supposedly she was some chubby old black chick, too. She wasn't outraged enough to suit the Reddit supermod nose-pickers, I guess.

It's impossible to maintain large online forums without this sort of thing creeping in I think. Eventually they get so big you either have to restrict users to prevent spam and legit disruptive trolling, or you just let it kill the space until eventually people get fed up with it to the point they allow in a bunch of power hungry mods who will eventually take over and make it their own personal walled garden anyway.

Well basically they/them are saying that trans people are pedos with this nonsense.

[–]Chipit[S] 1 insightful - 3 fun1 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

You mean people who dress up sexually and want to get close to children are pedos? What nonsense!

[–]Alienhunter 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Naturally. People that want to predate on children are child predators.

What OP is saying here is that it's "inherently transphobic to criminalize sex crimes against children" otherwise can be read as that it's inherent that transsexuals are child predators. I disagree with that. We shouldn't ignore the problem of clearly predatory trans people or allow them to use the trans identification as a shield against accusations as such, but not all trans people are child predators in the same vein as not all gay people are pedophiles, even if we can see a very clear and disturbing trend with groups such a Nambla pushing for openly pedophilic behaviors.

The phrase, "Criminalizing sex crimes..." is worth a ponder. They're sex crimes and by definition are ALREADY CRIMES!!!!!!!

Sooo- would this kiddy-fiddler sympathizer have us believe that in order for it to be illegal, it needs to be "double criminalized" and attempting to do so amounts to an discrimination against the misunderstood grooming community??

Stating the obvious that everyone already knew anyway. Hopefully, it's a rw troll saying the obvious.
