The people who came up with "death panels" and "death tax" and turning "woke" and "virtue" and "social justice" into negatives are outraged that Ron DeSantis's cynical culture war election year play is now popularly known as "Don't say gay."

y'know, disney has a market cap of ~250billion with 14b cash on hand. they can afford to just pack up disney world and move it somewhere else, or shut the park down for the summer.

how many days of shutdown would it take for these guys to shut up and desantis to grovel? https://t.co/Tms3pZYw3o

Nothing could possibly go wrong with wearing a shirt that has GROOMERS in big, child-friendly letters across the front. https://t.co/8vUzwHVvmY

What’s the age at which it is appropriate for a child to learn that they or their family are disgusting, shameful, and should be excluded from the community, but not yet appropriate for them to learn that they are safe, valued, and welcome?

This is incorrect. Age five, or younger, is a very good time for kids to learn from anyone available to teach it to them that their bodies are their own, that physical closeness is a privilege, not a right, and that there are lots of different kinds of families that are all okay. https://t.co/9tDcO8CQVy

After two years of careful diligence I’ve pretty much given up. I still mask in public b/c I have an unvaccinated 1 year old at home, but he’s about to start daycare (where employees are “encouraged” to vax). The “but I want to go to Applebees!” crowd won. Kudos. https://twitter.com/rottenindenmark/status/1511642486577504258

In every other context, conservatives would recoil in horror from the idea that judges should just fill in the gaps of a vague, extremely punitive law with a private enforcement mechanism.

But when it comes to queer people, it's "let's get some precedents on the books." https://t.co/HBMm5niY7M

Yup. They’re cynically and repulsively adopting the *language* of child abuse to resurrect the vile old smear that gay (and apparently trans?) adults are out to “recruit” children who are otherwise inherently straight & cis. https://t.co/tlHJE83Xfc

Proposed legislation could legalize child marriage in Tennessee by Joyce Peterson (actionnews5.com)
A bill being pushed through the Tennessee legislature has no age requirements for marriage

Not gonna lie, I saw a couple of tweets about this and figured it was just Twitter hysterea so I decided to double check.

And no Republicans, if this passes, and a single minor is involved in a common law marriage woopsy, you are absolutely not going to be able to plead lack of knowledge or good intentions when that particular shit hits the fan. This will be a car you’ve caught fair and square.

the press will spend a week amplifying false GOP claims that a top Supreme Court pick is a pedophile in headlines as a valid policy position, but the very second somebody calls the radical authoritarian GOP exactly what it is, they all rush to the fainting couches https://t.co/H2brxeKxTJ

With "groomer," we may have reached maximum rhetorical outrage. We've already seen dehumanizing language re: migrants, BLM, and COVID. What else is there after calling every perceived enemy a pedophile?
But if escalating rhetoric can't provide the outrage fix anymore, what will? https://t.co/1F5uWEDZTG

This is not what grooming is, and not what anyone thinks grooming is. Also, it relies on the idea that everyone was born cis and heterosexual until somebody else like, showed them "Paris is Burning" or something. https://t.co/CAPFjniquw pic.twitter.com/RKw68HxgMs

If you were wondering whether Substack already internalized that the challenges that plagued the Web and tech platforms for decades are coming for them... no they haven't https://t.co/v8sfJYrYrZ

So obviously this is a sick person defending Ron Desantis staff accusing people of being child rapists.

But the point is also BS. Opponents called the bill “Don’t say gay” because the initial legislation, which Ron supported, did literally ban “discussion” of sexual orientation. https://t.co/JdkQIZS43F

Against the 'Groomer' Smear by David French (The Dispatch)
It's not 'pro-pedophile' to back Ketanji Brown Jackson, and it's not 'grooming' to oppose Florida's new education law.

The slinging of the word "groomer" or insinuations of sympathy for pedophilia by the same people who spent *years* stanning for the man who appeared in "Playboy Video Centerfold: Playmate 2000 Bernaola Twins" (and that might be the least worst thing he did) is just too much. /1

Redefining grooming and slinging false accusations of sympathy for pedophilia is pure malice. Blue checks doing it on this website know better, but lots of ordinary folks don't. They hear the words and apply their ordinary meaning. That's incredibly dangerous. /end
