i’m not sure if this is refering to the rightoids losing against progressiveness, or a reactionary using the card of “we’re losing a war against the ‘degeneracy’”

    I have no idea what the fuck this is, but I have some scattered thoughts:

    • This is probably what is known as “ragebait”.
    • Children and animals cannot consent. The bottom figure does not belong. While women and LGBT+ people had to struggle for their rights, pedophiles child molesters frequently get away with everything and hold the most wealth in the owning class (see the Epstein List and photos). Often child molesters see children as no different from helpless adults, manipulate them, and traumatize them. Altho this is best discussed by victims of CSA, most victims don’t want to discuss it for obvious reasons.
    • The 2010s figure got curbstomped into oblivion as a scapegoat for capitalist problems, a big distraction, and other things. This meme assumes that sexual progress is linear and eventually makes acceptable non-consensual acts, which isn’t true.
    • With the establishment of the Soviet Union in 1917, equal rights were given to women, homosexuals, and transgender people in one stroke, yet there was no acceptance whatsoever of child molestation.
    • This is probably a mistake to put here, especially if xcancel isn’t used.
    • People will probably go “and THIS is what Leftists want!” whether the person saying this is actually left or not.
    • I don’t think this necessarily belongs here.

      I’m a victim of CSA as are many of you because of how normalized it is and you’re correct. Molesters act mainly out of power and a desire for stimulation no matter who’s receiving abuse.

    This vibes like it was made by one of those pedo freaks that tries to latch their perversion onto progressivism.

    This is a reactionary posing as a leftist to spread the idea that leftists are normalizing “degeneracy” and that the world will soon accept pedophilia and zoophilia if leftist influence is successful.

    It’s the former. I know of her. She was a minor who advocated for decoupling the terms pedophilia/zoophilia from molesters and abusers. I think she was institutionalized by her parents.

    My only thing to add to this [since another commenter said everything else i was going to say basically], those two should probably start being seen as more mental disorders than anything. Maybe mental disorder is the wrong term, but in any case it’s clear that neither of those urges are “natural” or should be “natural” [for lack of a better term] and yet are disproportionately common. Prison isn’t really helpful, since once they get out they’ll still have the same instincts. I’m not saying people who “indulge” deserve nothing less than a deserving punishment and definitely are horrible people, but presumably there are people who feel those urges but don’t indulge, and having a support system for that [along with making it harder to abuse children and animals] would probably help society.

    Edit: disproportionately common migjt imply that it is more common than it actually is. But I think it’s common enough to be concerning

      From what I understand, disorder is the wrong term because both the DSM and ICD says the attractions are only disorders if they cause distress or if someone who has them abuses targets of them, which implies to me that many other people simply possess the attractions and go through life just fine (or are bullied or self-hating for being a “freak”, I’ve seen suicide rates). What’s unnatural yet disproportionately common is abusive behavior, because it’s instilled into people under this patriarchal society to abuse and exploit easy targets for power and gratification. Surprisingly, based on what I read, the overlap of abusers and those who preferentially have the attractions is small.

      OP didn’t censor the username so it would be easy unless the account is banned and I think it could be from Twitter or BlueSky

        Likely. “Promoting or normalizing sexual attraction to minors as a form of identity or sexual orientation” is a breach of Twitter rules.
