A 13-year-old girl at a Louisiana middle school got into a fight with classmates who were sharing AI-generated nude images of her
The girls begged for help, first from a school guidance counselor and then from a sheriff’s deputy assigned to their school. But the images were shared on Snapchat, an app that deletes messages seconds after they’re viewed, and the adults couldn’t find them. The principal had doubts they even existed.
Among the kids, the pictures were still spreading. When the 13-year-old girl stepped onto the Lafourche Parish school bus at the end of the day, a classmate was showing one of them to a friend.
“That’s when I got angry,” the eighth grader recalled at her discipline hearing.
Fed up, she attacked a boy on the bus, inviting others to join her. She was kicked out of Sixth Ward Middle School for more than 10 weeks and sent to an alternative school. She said the boy whom she and her friends suspected of creating the images wasn’t sent to that alternative school with her. The 13-year-old girl’s attorneys allege he avoided school discipline altogether.
Ok, but if I support somebody who is protecting LGBTQ+ folks, does that make me LGBTQ+ or is it only the bad things that are transitive?
I see you didn’t say they were felons, rapists, con men, racketeers, etc. Are they these things too?
words mean things
Supporting people who do abhorrent things is bad. Inexcusable even. It does not necessarily make you those things.
It doesn’t necessarily make me gay, but it does make me an LGBTQ+ supporter. I’m not gay, I like girls, but I’m down with queer culture just fine. Calling me Gay would be innacurate, but calling me Queer might not be, even if I don’t identify myself that way. I wouldn’t be offended by it, though, I could comfortably identify as Queer Adjacent. I like gay people, I even have gay family members that I love enough to unhesitatingly give my life for them.
MAGAs are pedophiles because they support pedophiles. They might want to parse it more, the way I did between gay and queer. They may not be actual pedophiles, and instead more accurately identify ephebophiles or hebephiles. That’s so much better. /s
Bottom line, parse it all you want, they are still exploiting and molesting underage children, and covering up for each other.
Got it. And it only applies to pedophilla, for reasons.
Are you just going to go around on circles? I already wrote in a previous post on this thread:
I am discussing Pedophilia because that is the subject UPU chose. If you’d like to discuss any of his other vile characteristics, like Treason, or Racism, or Ignorance, or Incompetence, etc., I’d be glad to, but the subject of this specific debate was pedophilia, so it’s disingenuous to blame ME for the choice of subject.
So to be clear, you do consider all of maga to be felons, rapists, con men, and racketeers?
It’s confusing because you used a completely different set of words from the ones I did.
Or is it only the things they “are” instead of things they “do?”
Your line for when you decide to redefine a word just seems arbitrary.
Those characterizations depend on circumstances. Many of those labels (con men, racketeers, etc.) fall under the general category of corruption. A felon needs to have convicted of a felony. Rapist? Sure, that applies to Trump, and I usually include it. Frankly, it was oversight, so feel free to add it to my list. AreAGAs rapists? Probably not technically, but they are Rapist adjacent. Apparently they support rape.
Who’s “redefining” anything?
Pedophile doesn’t though?
Agreed.
Fully agreed.
What is your definition of pedophile?
This entire conversation is around your change of the definition of this word to include these asshats instead of just conceding they are “pedophile adjacent.”
No, Pedophiles are a special category. If you have a confirmed pedophile living in your house, actively molesting children, and you cover for them, make excuses, offer alibis, deny their behavior, etc., then you are just as guilty of pedophilia as they are. It’s just like when a group plans and commits a murder, it isn’t just the triggerman who gets charged with murder, it’s also his accomplices.
If you know there are pedophiles among your organization, and you don’t enthusiastically root them out, and instead cover for them, you are guilty of pedophilia also.
What is your definition of pedophile?
Why doesn’t your murder example extend to voters? Or does it?
