No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Can’t call em Nazis, so that’s the next worst thing on the list.

Because it's sexual and they aren't developed to believe sex exists

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Everyone is right; its an easy way to equate "deviancy" and to deny people rights. Its not just LGBT+; whenever nazis want to make a group of people a target, they accuse them of being "rapists" or "pedophiles." The OG Nazis accused the Jews of wanting to molest Aryan women. Just look at Birth of a Nation. Or Trumps comments about Mexicans being rapists. It is also just generalized dehumanizing language.

But also: there is power in redefining "pedophilia." It lets them attack LGBT+ by calling them "groomers" but then involve the services of inspectors who exist to... "verify" genitalia? It allows them to bring back child marriage or protect powerful clergy or rich assholes like Epstien, while attacking gay marriage. Libertarians attack the age of consent and want to bring back child labor. Everything becomes pedophilia except actual pedophilia. The real question becomes, why, when one has enough money or institutional power to do anything, like go to space or buy a senator to protect your wealth systemically, why does become extremely interested in fucking children?

Because projection.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

projection, they are most likely pedophiles themselves, or pedos in the closet that hadnt SA a child yet. Also seen this with people bragging that they know a pedo.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

yes that's the spirit

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

If you have some time, some months ago I shared an article that I think explains that (and how that argument started decades ago with gay people and then moved to trans people now) in [email protected]: https://beehaw.org/post/12888662

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Projection is confession when one chooses to inflict pain on others and self.

They want to abuse children. By blaming trans folks, they ate seeing up “see they do it too!” as cover for their evil actions.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Once you call someone a pedo, that's it end of thought end of evidence. They are a oedo and so they are evil

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I think that because of hypersexualization in society, which includes, for example, sexualization of nudity, has led to a situation where anything related to sex that deviates from the so-called norm, is lumped together. This also leads to transgender people who support helping young people with gender dysphoria or just want to raise awareness and make transgenderism not be a taboo and therefore also be taught in schools/talked about in public, to be lumped together with anyone who associates sex with children. of course the sex part in transgender people talks about gender while the sex part in pedophiles talks about sexual intercourse, and these people are so close-minded that to them talking about sex and children instantly means pedophilia.

I think it's similar to people who consider nudist families to be incestual.

Of course there are also those who just can't accept anything that is different from them and therefore just blame them at being the worst possible thing they can think of that they see any sort of connection to. For example, people call other races monkeys because they are too different to them to consider them human and so they are more related to something that isn't human but is similar, and importantly inferior.

I think you're correct except for your cause and effect conclusion.

They've ALWAYS been saying these things. It wasn't caused by anything that's developed in the past 100 years.

I would say that the "hypersexuality" is caused by people not listening to those fucks anymore.

It's not meant to make sense. It's meant to make you shut down any argument in favor of giving non heterosexual people human rights. That's all.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Because people they shouldn't trust but do, lie to them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

They are conflating trans healthcare for children with pedophilia.
