A bill making some drag shows illegal in the state of Tennessee is bringing extremist groups out of the shadows: one hung a swastika banner on a Nashville overpass today. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/tennessee-drag-show-law-bill-lee-1234689713/
@RollingStone Y'know, the fact that the worst people in the world think something is bad is not in any sense evidence that it isn't, y'know, bad.
@pieist @RollingStone I'm sorry, I can't parse this. Could you explain further?
@evilmicrowizard @RollingStone
Well, let's go for some trite, popular signifiers:
Hitler was a vegetarian. Hitler was evil. True or false: "vegetarianism is evil."
@pieist @RollingStone But I want an explanation about this particular occurrence and your response to it. Though there might be some strained similarities, drag isn't veganism...?
@evilmicrowizard @RollingStone
I want a pie that can make me run a four minute mile. Would that we all had what we want.
@pieist @evilmicrowizard @RollingStone The drag ban is bad for loads of other reasons. Why should there be a law criminalizing ppl wearing clothing outside of strict gender norms? The law threatens trans ppl, ppl in cosplay, theater, costumes for Renn Faire, Halloween. It's ludicrous overreach and violates freedom of expression.
@caffeneko @evilmicrowizard @RollingStone
Can't argue with that.
Still can't get past the whole "need to present my sexual expression to prepubescent children in an apparently innocuous setting" thing. Or the startling number of child sex offenders involved. Or the whole "hanging a dildo in front of my crotch while I gyrate for children in a public library" thing.
Which I'm sure you'll insist was totally unrepresentative and an isolated event unrelated to anything else.
@pieist @evilmicrowizard @RollingStone
Didn't realize laws in Tennessee extended clear to England.
Please show me proof of drag story hours in the US where the clothing is 'sexual.'
Your other accusations are unfounded, fear-mongering, baseless. Actual sex offenders in enormous numbers are in churches across the US and the churches do nothing to get rid of them instead they distract ppl by funding BS bans like these.
@caffeneko @evilmicrowizard @RollingStone
Where did I say Tennessee laws extended to England?
What accusations did I make?
You're disturbingly invested in this, to the point of making things up. Do you have a police record? Should you?
