Wait, did they finally find pictures of him in drag?
Do you have to degrade trans people and people who dress outside the gender norm and imply that drag is or should be illegal? And imply what this asshole does (fucking trafficking minors) is as bad as drag?!
Your comment either targets the wrong people in an attempt to shot at Tate or your opinions about drag are lowest level.
Come on dude, please tell me you're reading these
I think you're entirely missing the point, which is that for all the notable arrests for sexual abuse of children (celebrities, politicians, priests, cops) it's never someone in drag, even though that's one of the GOP screaming points in trying to ban drag and trans people. They're pointing out the ludicrousness of that message.
That's not at all what they're saying, you're missing the joke. They're making fun of how conservatives are convinced sex traffickers and minor-abusers are always drag queens. They're on your side.
Did my comment need a
/son it?This is one more article about a child molester who isn’t a drag queen—even though there has been a lot of attacking of drag shows as a danger to children.
And why are you bringing up trans people? Drag isn’t trans.
Yes.
It wasn't very clear because cross dressing is/was a pretty common thing, and isn't the same as being a drag queen.
It used to be one of the things schools would do for spirit week. So there are plenty of pictures of guys out there in "drag" that wouldn't make them "drag queens".
It's a minor bit of arguable semantics, really. It just happens to lead to confusion here.
Yes? Never fucking assume people are going to get that you're being sarcastic on the internet. JFC, isn't that internet 101 anymore?
It's ok to admit you overreacted
It wasn't him that replied originally.
They still overreacted a bit in the reply they did make, though.
I figured the “Wait, …” was sufficient to signify sarcasm. I’ve been wrong before, and I’m sure I’ll be wrong again.
I agree with you. It was incredibly clear.
It was pretty obvious to me, but I guess I'm not a good litmus test.
I won’t drop the base on you then.
Probably. Poe's law becomes firmer every day as vocal crazies become more and more outspoken.
Yes. We've actually moved beyond 'many celebrities are holograms, in reality they're dead'. 'Many elites are lizards' is decades old, and is from the last century.
The conspiracy landscape certainly requires a lot of... imagination, I guess, but completely harmful imagination.
