    Look up “statistics drag queens crimes against minors” on Google.

    Now do the same for “statistics priests crimes against minors”.

    Notice anything interesting?

    If a certain narrative is relying only on isolated stories and journalistic reports, and the other has statistical studies to back up its claims, I’d trust the latter to have a closer grip on reality.

        This weird whataboutism that religious apologists engage in speaks really bad about you, but I’ll bite.

        Any institution that gives adults authority over children and creates room for abuse should be scrutinized and have tight checks and controls. Fortunately, many educators across the West are taking action by teaching children about consent so that they’re capable of protecting their rights and calling out abuse against themselves as early as possible. Unfortunately, I’ve seen plenty of Conservatives lashing out against this and religious schools have a worrying tendency to resist incorporating comprehensive education about consent into their curriculum.

          Most of the people I’m around believe that priests and drag queens abuse children so that specific argument isn’t helpful. The issue is their news sources confirm and compound their general fear of the unknown.

          Well, yeah, then they wouldn’t be able to abuse children with impunity. Haven’t you been paying attention?

        Anti-Muslim =/= Anti-Islam. If you instinctively react to criticism of Islam in a way that you don’t react to criticism of Christianity, you likely have a bias that you may want to check out. Broad criticisms against Muslims and/or Arabs is hate speech, and in certain cases, racism; criticizing Islam is as necessary for any society that wants to get rid of moral dogma as it is criticizing any other major religion.

            I agree with your first two points, but I think that the third one denotes lack of nuance.

            Take a look at this thread. There are plenty of well reasoned anti-religion arguments that are found to be controversial (looking at the upvote/downvote proportion) to a degree that you aren’t going to see in a post where the object of criticism or mockery is Christian. The meme itself isn’t the epitome of comedy, but it’s close to the average to the channel; the essence of its criticism is correct and the target is religious figures, so I think my narrative explains that situation better.

            This doesn’t mean there aren’t also people here who are motivated by bigotry, which we should shut down. In fact, I think that a lot of well meaning progressives instinctively suspect that, which is why they become overzealous at the minimum suspicion of racism, but take it to the worrying extreme of being suspicious of criticisms that they’d agree with if they were directed at the religions they grew up with.

          “Religion is shit and creates abuse.” - Woke “SPECIFIC RELIGION is shit and creates abuse. All hail MY GOD OF CHOICE!” - Yes, that’s hate speech. That’s just what it is.

          If you have an issue with that, maybe try broadening your horizons on what shit is.

    It’s because of the top group and their antics that we’re worried about the bottom group. Or any group that takes an unhealthy interest in other people’s children…

    Both groups had been involved with exploiting children. Percentage comprision of crime/population reflects both in bad lights.

    I don’t think this meme does what OP think it does

        No of children abused by priests are shamefully large. But no of priest are too. So even if there are few cases of child molestation by drag cases, if you’ll calculate on percentage itll look comparable. Both the scenarios will not yield more than 1 percent ( i am taking about higher side)

        That’s why I don’t think that this meme is doing what OP think it does

      Speak for yourself. I would rather leave my 7 years old with any drag queen artist rather than a priest alone in a church. Hell it’s not even close. Just thinking about that makes my skin crawl

        Hmm, would I rather leave a kid with a person from a group known for using their authority to rape children not to mention some of history’s greatest atrocities or a fabulous dresser? That’s a tough one.

        Statistically your kids will be safe with both.

        Liberal night feel safer with drag and conservative might feel safer with a priest.

          The conservative would feel safer with a priest?

          Is that why so many of my churchy friends have to warn each other about not being alone with specific people? Or leaving their children alone with certain individuals?

          Meanwhile I’m still waiting for anyone to provide any evidence of a massive drag queen pedo conspiracy on the level of the the known abuse of the Catholic church, Boy Scouts, college athletics…

          Mate, left/right isn’t some unique American thing, it’s a spectrum of views you fall on.

          Regurgitating whatever shit source of news gave you that information shows to me that you’re into that right wing sphere.

              We’re not asking for justifications.

              Justifications are hollow and useless.

              We want evidence. Sources. You’re making claims and not offering a shred of anything tangible as evidence. It’s just one big “trust me bro” and we (or at least I) don’t do that.

      There’s no drag queen church to protect them from their crimes and shuffle them around to another diocese so that they can continue hurting children. I would say that’s the most glaring difference here.

      Okay, cool, so where are your statistics?

      You do realize that literally any “group” you care to create will, in fact, be “involved in exploiting children” if it’s large enough and your definition of “exploiting” is disingenuous enough, right?

      Of course you do. But you don’t care. You just want those scary men in dresses to stop making you feel weird in your pants, don’t you?

      It’s fine. Just go with it. Be one of the girls. Your god doesn’t care, because your god doesn’t exist.
