No - it's just a dumb comment by a dumbass, and then used by the right-wing because they've got nothing better to complain about

You're familiar with the gay cub/bear dynamic? The comment concerns me that they may support the trans version of that. Because they don't see it as child abuse, it would explain why they would dismiss complaints of grandstanding. NAMBLA-esque.

I wouldn't call myself a liberal any more though. Among other things I can't stand them arguing against free speech and framing it as a right wing issue.

That used to be a very important issue for us 90s era liberals because it still wasn't very acceptable to be in the lgb (not sure T was in it yet) community. That free speech protected them.

And I think we're now seeing a backlash against the extreme vocal liberals, which makes this more important than ever. Sure, it protects right wingers now, but when they're in charge it'll protect the left again.

Sorry - I have no idea about the "gay cub/bear dynamic" or NAMBLA. Thanks for this, however. Every reference I've seen to child-sex ring claims in the US, and potential connections to Democrats, has been debunked as Republican disinformation. I've not seen much in the news about child sex rings in the US, though I've also not looked for it. In recent years, child sex rings were busted in Germany and the UK, which gave rise to concerns about the roles of men of Pakistan descent in the majority of cases. This has been used by politicians to fuel xenophobia, but it really does annoy me that the culprits tend to be from this one area of the world. Human trafficking is however well-known among Russian, Serbian, Albanian, Thai, and other organized gangs. Those who are caught seem not to be under the protection of the wealthier criminals. But this is what I gather in newspapers.

This isn't the child sex ring stuff, it's apolitical. This happens when a young person first discovers they're homosexual, especially pre Internet when there was no way to get information easily and you had to be in the closet. Often an older person of the community teaches them via a sexual relationship. This was not long ago considered acceptable in the community, that's just how you got into the scene.

You mean the commie-socialist-libtard controlled MSM? Rachel Madcow, Andy Cooper, NYT, CNN, et al has not released any hard-hitting investigative exposes? Golly gee, wonder why? The Justice Dept (now thoroughly infiltrated by leftards/libturds) seems to think it's no small problem:

Organizations dealing with this 'little' problem seem not to think it's "Republican disinformation":

https://www.missingkids.org/theissues/trafficking

https://www.childrensrights.org/newsroom/fact-sheets/child-sex-trafficking/

But I'm soooo sure the leftist media (that has been so deadly accurate in their news coverage and assertions over the last 4+ years), knows waaaay better than any of the above sources what is a non-issue.

I am not saying that the child sex rings don't exist in the US. I'm saying that there is no evidence that Democrats are the ones to blame for all of it, obviously. For example, the Epstein trafficking was something Trump enjoyed, and probably supported, but it was managed by Epstein and his people.

No - it's just a dumb comment by one of a multitude of leftist dumbasses, and then used by the right-wing because:

  1. We like to give the commie-socialists a taste of their own medicine, and harvest the resulting snowflake tears.

  2. We recognize the obvious hypocrisy of this comment, and that of its libturd defender.

  3. We love it when such dirtbags freely admit their moral bankruptcy.....extra points if they are too stoopid to realize they done it.
