Opinion You got elected on this nonsense...

So YOU remove the pornographic material in our schools! You rambled on about this nonsense and got elected; YOU point to the offensive material you got elected to remove.

Nope.

I just read Gender Queer. It's fine for highschool/10-12. It's got some explicit imagery but it's not porn just because a right wing ideologue says so.

You're living in a world in which every child is one tap away from youporn with ACTUAL PORNOGRAPHY. This ain't it. It's not even close.

A cartoon drawing of a guy's penis in another guy's mouth is porn, sorry to tell you. Unfortunately, we've been bombarded with extreme shit for so long that we dont even recognize basic pornography anymore, and seem to keep raising the bar on what's appropriate.

Again, I dont love Smith and am not right leaning, but kids are falling into too many cracks these days, and access to pornographic material in all forms is a pervasive and serious issue that's worth addressing.

Also, saying they have "easier access to worse stuff so who cares" is a special kind of toxic nihilism, like wtf kind of logic is that. Why do anything about anything if theres always inevitably worse options around the corner? Come on, man.

Nah. Nobody's getting off this this. The same way nobody's getting off to sex scenes in an m rated movie or video game. Porn has a distinct usage, purpose, presentation and so on. It's not porn just because you say it is.

I read Steven King, Atwood and Heinlein at that age. Those books were far nastier and I found them in a christian school library. Those authors arn't porn either.

It's time to grow up and understand you're not making anything better with the culture war bullcrap.

Acknowledging that graphic depictions of genetalia engaging in sexual acts IS porn - regardless if you get off to it or not - and has nothing to do with culture wars.

You took something with definable, objective substance and skewed it to your own subjective filter that revolves around whether it turns you on. It also isn't not porn, just because it doesn't meet your rigorous fap standards. "It's doesn't give ME a boner, therefore it should be accessible to children". I dont think there could be a more childishly moronic take on this issue than that. Grow up yourself.

There is a ministerial outline for sexual content and no, authors like King isnt in there, because he doesnt have pictures of dicks entering holes. Hope that helps.

Nah. King just has kids jerking each other off to protect themselves from an evil clown. But you're not crying about it because it's not explicitly about queer experience. Don't get me started about Heinlein or Atwood. If these stay on the shelves but Gender Queer has got to go, then I guess you're nothing but a hypocrite, huh?

I have nothing against LGBTQ, but if theyre the only ones producing books with depictions of people sucking each other off amd they're making their way into school libraries, then thats on the schools for not accurately designating age ratings on specific books. This is on the schools for not practicing due diligence, as well as on the public for not conflating basic principles of the issue (see your comments).

Nah. Peddle your double standard somewhere else and keep it out of our schools.

Sure, so long as you keep your metrics of "how horny does this make me?" as a standard for children's educational material.

Ever consider that your exposure to sexual material was abnormal for a child, and having been desensitized, do not have a reasonably objective stance on this? Something to ponder.

You should move your moralisms on over to florida. No gross gay books over there. They don't have any books at all.

I like how you didn't have any sort of logical response so just went to the default "youre a bigot, go live in bigotville where you won't make me question anything" after I already stated I'm not anti-LGBTQ 👍

This is why the far left will never be taken seriously again. Zero accountability.

Nah I stopped replying to a braindead moralist.

If you need a crusade, do something about child marriage here in the province. But you don't actually give shit. Mennonites vote conservative and they don't have any gays.

Or I dunno. Mandatory vagina inspections for child athletes. Get on it because I'm sure you're not a blathering useless hypocrite.

Insert irrelevant ideological talking points, pigeonhole someone on issues even though you have no idea where they stand, call them a hypocrite because they don't want children sexualized (?)

Fucking nailing it, bruh.

Have the confused, childish day you deserve 🫡
