What’s worse: Drag Queen story hour or Predators targeting children?

[OddBeMe]

Seems obvi to me…but I’m open to discuss.

Drag Queen story hour

Predators targeting children

Other

[Stoner710]

Of course predictors targeting kids is worse, The drag queen story hours are grooming children in a perverted sexual idea, I don’t think the major are targeting kids for sex (with the exception of seattle a ) lot of the drag queens in seattle are child molesters but since there “women now” they can be around little kids and twerk while reading Dr. Seuss.

either way kids should not be getting a story from a drag queen in drag

[Rosexøxø]

Yes both are targeting

[RavVid]

I think more children are going to end up traumatized by drag queens than by pedophiles. Don't get me wrong neither is good but you have to consider reach.

Notably drag queens resemble the scary nasty violent women in children's pantomimes because... they are played by ugly guys and intended to scare kiddies.

I rest my case.

[OddBeMe]

So you’re basing this on your thoughts of “nasty violent women” and “ugly guys” being worse than pedos. Mmkay.

[RavVid]

Well those female characters are intended to scare kiddies is the point.

Plus the damage done is going to depend on frequency of exposure to both.

Not saying pedo's are benign at all just saying damage is influenced by exposure. Plus a lot of pedo's will be on sex offenders list and not allowed within a bulls roar of a school.

[OddBeMe]

What damage is done by story hour? Some teachers look worse than they do.

[RavVid]

I am still traumatized by childhood pantomime drag shows and the domestic violence in Punch and Judy shows.

There is of course nothing wrong with stories being read to children. But there could be a lot wrong with the content of the stories. Whether drag queens look better than teachers is not relevant.

Why drag queens reading stories? Why not ever day teachers reading the stories?

I think the answer is in the question's false options of drag queens or pedophiles.

The question has an agenda that is not appropriate. There is a strong implication of a re-education programme for kiddies before they have even been educated. Anybody who cares about children should reject that.

[OddBeMe]

You sound like a snowflake. I’m traumatized by an aol chat box wanting me to upload nude photos. I logged off immediately.

[Rosexøxø]

I voted accidentally while trying to answer this.

Both cannot be compared and are bad.

Which is worse: a predator or a porn star in the bdsm outfit.

One abuses their physical bodies

The other abuses their mental bodies and their child hood.

If one MUST be picked the physical threat would be a greater issue.

I don’t differentiate between physical and verbal abuse. Both are bad.

[OddBeMe]

A porn star in a bdsm outfit isn’t a threat.

[Anonymous]

People are worrying about drag queens when you have images like this.

[OddBeMe]

Yeah. But I’ve been bitching bout guns for a while. Thought I’d change it up :)

[snackthatsmilesback]

Well the drag queen is reading age-appropriate books to multiple kids in a supervised public environment. And the predator is soliciting child porn and flashing children. Huh shit I wonder which is worse? 🤔

[Rosexøxø]

Lmao

[Anonymous]

what's worse? Why can't they both be horrible things? I'm not the biggest fan of drag queens flashing their wrinkly old bits to little kids when they're supposed to be reading children's books. Can't support that just because they're liberals.

[Rosexøxø]

Agreed

[Miristheiss]

Both are bad.

No need to have to rank them against each other. Any sane person would immediately say children shouldn't be exposed to either.

[Rosexøxø]

Glad the world still spins on sane people

[Juxtapose]

One is grooming in the other is more in your face. So it's a choice between the slow cook and the flash cook.

[Juxtapose]

*and the other

[Rosexøxø]

Well said

[Sasahara]

Had to pick other, as how do we know these drag queens are not targeting children? They could do both at the same time. What if the reason they participate in these story hours are because they want to gain access to the kids?

[msmissydc]

With your logic its still predators that are worse. You just have a prejudice against drag that they are predators.

[AngryCarl2]

No offence but this whole question reeks of "what-aboutism". Is Drag Queen story hour a necessary part of a child's education?

[OddBeMe]

Empathy is. And I think story hour is a good experience for learning about different people.

[MidwestHeels]

Predators targeting children duh 😂

[exitseven]

Potato potahto

[Anonymous]

The two tend to overlap so I guess the second one.

[Sargentcaptain]

Distinction without a difference.

[Shamalien]

I think we could do without both tbh

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Both are the same ish.

[Anonymous]

Drag queen story hour.

Before making yourself look like a complete moron, you should have asked me why. I had a good reason for saying this. And now you're blocked.

[Opinion Owner]

@NotTacocaT6969

And you're an idiot.

[msc545]

Predators targeting children is worse

God bless the children

[KrakenAttackin]

Both are predators.

[InsecureLivesMatter]

Both.

[InsecureLivesMatter]

Though arguably I would say Hooters is worse.
