You are not considering the other points I brought up. For you to understand why very many parents today are deeply concerned about the sexualization of their children you, Harbal, will have to remove some fetters from your own mind or, to be more accurate, your ethical sensibilities.Harbal wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 5:13 pmI am complicit in what? A particular scenario was brought up. A group of children, accompanied by their parents, were invited to watch a drag performance. I am afraid that, in my shameful ignorance, I can't see the need for a horrified reaction to that. Could you explain why that situation is one of child abuse, and my attitude is one of support and complicity?

I already explained that the boundaries of what is acceptable and ethical have been shifted dramatically. For you to understand other viewpoints would necessarily involve you in study and consideration that you do not believe is necessary.
