    So all straight and cis content should be banned too, right, or is it only “degenerate” (to use the word the nazis used) content that should be influencing them?

    (straight cis white man speaking. I don’t have a horse in this race, but I’m sure not going to let people act like they have the moral high ground without them investigating their beliefs themselves.)

        Cooll so how exactly will you ban all straight content? You gonna ban stuff like Romeo and Juliet because you’re too lazy to supervise your kid and they might read it?

            Yes, because women were not allowed to act. Another discriminatory practice. What are you suggesting by bringing that up?

            Are you going to answer their questions, btw?

              Was just pointing out how silly the argument is. You gonna ban stuff like because you’re too lazy to supervise your kid and they might read it? Can literally be applied to any content and doubly so when your example has a history of gender-bending.

              I’m personally against banning any of the content because how can people make decisions without knowledge? Gay and trans people exist whether you like it or not, pretending they don’t is just bad parenting.

        How are you going to prevent children from being influenced by any/all of the romantic relationships they see in every day life? If movies/books/ect are so bad, then what would be do with real life examples?
