    I see someone having fun and celebrating penises (penii?)

    Are you also offended by fertility idols, Kanamara Matsuri (japanese celebration of the phallus), or the ancient greek “Phallic processions”?

    Or is it just the ones that celebrate in a way you personally find icky?

      Whichever ones people obsess over, to the exclusion of all other social responsibilities, are the ones which get my scorn. Apply that to whichever category/categories you feel appropriate.

        You are worried about people who don’t exist, doing things that never happen. or happen in such a small number that they are not worthy of thought.

        The people in a pride parade covered in rainbow dildos are going to work Monday, mowing their lawn, and paying their taxes. They are not some cartoon character running around like ‘captain dildoman’ all day, every day.

          Nah, @[email protected] is just a bigot.

          That fucking simple. Calling out LGBT pride as some kind of indecent or immodest exposure while choosing to remain completely blind about the hypocritical normalized deluge of heterosexual sex being sold to children 24/7 in all forms of media and advertising that pride is partially a criticism of? Ridiculous.

          Bigot logic tends not to hold up under scrutiny. That’s why they play this cute little game pretending to dance around the issue, “just asking questions” or using the very children they want to indoctrinate as a shield for their blatant projection and hypocrisy.

          Just fucking say it, @[email protected].

            I’ll gladly say it loudly: The extreme over sexualization of media which was introduced through the Internet, and now persists under the shield of witless pawns because they painted it with a rainbow pattern, has been doing massive and persistent damage to our social fabric. This was in no way normal before the Internet, and it’s appalling that so few people are willing to even acknowledge the problem.

            You may be confused and misled @[email protected], but thank you for the opportunity to say it clearly so you’re not confused as to where my opinions actually come from.
