How many times do we see conservatives who rant and rage about how evil homosexuality is or about family values and the sanctity of marriage or how pro-life they are turn out to be gay, child molesters, serial adulterers, abandon their children, and push their girlfriends to have abortions?
How often are we hearing about drag shows “grooming” children despite the fact there is ZERO evidence and children aren’t the target audience? How often do conservatives speak out in the confirmed extraordinary wide spread abuse and covered-up sexual, physical, and emotional abuses of children that took and continue to take place in churches of ALL denominations and organizations such as the Boy Scouts?
The hypocrisy of these people is ridiculous. They accuse what they are guilty of only to score political points from the gullible, the uneducated, the ill-informed, or others looking to exploit. And they do it because people like you let them because they echo and feed your own biases.
Indeed, the hypocrisy and selective outrage is almost laughable at this point.
I often ask people who are making these assertions of grooming and predatorial behavior why they aren't demonstrating the same vitriol towards groups / institutions that continue to foster, and be havens for, the most vile examples of such things.
Simply look at the Catholic Church investigations over the past couple of years around the world, including the continuously disturbing develops in Canada. Then, there's the seemingly never-ending rash of cases coming out the Protestant arena of late. Even outside of the religious sphere, we have the Boy Scouts of America and the incredibly nightmarish reality of their history.
Where are the outraged comments and demonstrations against these entities by the supposed anti-grooming crowd? It doesn't really exist. Crickets. That's the most disturbing aspect in my opinion. Many of the same people who feign outrage and assert that teachers or trans-people are grooming, will turn a blind eye to the actual, verifiable and methodical abuse of children by other groups.
