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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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."

A Grand Bargain on the Sex Wars?

Republicans should stop calling Democrats "pedophiles" and "groomers". In return, Democrats should agree to stop prosecuting Republican sex offenders.

1. From the start, this has been a transphobic & homophobic moral panic. Sullivan egged it on at the start for clout & because he thought there was enough plausible deniability to hide its intent. Once that intent is blindingly clear, he's backtracking. pic.twitter.com/5YG18Kgz2N

I look at what’s happening in Ukraine and at the massacre in Bucha and I am seized with an urge to talk about critical race theory and whether Ketanji Brown Jackson can define “woman.”

Lots of suggestions that Senate Republicans would be supporting Judge Jackson’s #SCOTUS nomination if only she were “more moderate.”

Leaving aside the rather … subjective … definition of “moderate” on which that claim is based, the response is two words long:

Merrick Garland.

“Name another company that among its tens of thousands of employees had at least one piece of shit every year” is such a weird take that even Sullivan winds up on the correct side of it.
