Start torturing the kids ourselves!
… not that much of a joke, actually. My mother has been seriously looking into something along those lines; setting up a “honeypot” gay/trans conversion therapy camp. The general idea being to teach the kids how to keep themselves safe while helping set them up with a pathway to emancipation and a support structure they can call on, but under the guise of “we’ll get your kid to stop using those weirdo pronouns just send them here for free”. Maybe we can start convincing the chuds that there’s a magical shot that cures wokeness and just don’t mention that it’s E/T…
You should also tell the kids to appear distressed bc of the camp, when they are picked up by their queerphobic parents. That way the parents won’t suspect anything.
This is a good idea but it sounds dangerous for all involved
1000% agree, dont trust those parents if they found out its bad for everyone involved. Best case scenario is they do it the legal way through court. Worst case scenario is… Definitely worse
it’s E/T
It’s extraterrestrial‽‽
Damn your mom sounds based as hell
Seems like an idea that will only work for a very limited amount of time. Like, one session.
The side benefit of when it ends making those kind of parents paranoid that any conversion therapy camp might be doing the same thing and could drive them all out of business.
I would say charge them for their ignorance, but the economic hit would probably just trickle down to the unfortunate youths you’re trying to help.
There’s a decent chance they’re going to take that hit regardless
This idea of parental control, parents know best, all that shit needs to end. Adults are stupid, and alot of them shouldnt have kids. If you cant love someone YOU made unconditionally then idk what to tell you. I guess ill see you in hell, but i wont be partying with you
Seriously, no kid asked to be here. Having children is inherently a selfish act. Treat them right, or dont have them at all
Edit: i see it, i meant parental control as in parents are the ultimate authority for most things here in the USA, including in choosing to not vaccinate. I did not mean parental control in terms of content moderation
WITHIN REASON! Children do absolutely require parenting. Yes you should love your children unconditionally and support them in their identity etc. But I should point out that increasingly children are being raised by teenagers in online games and have little to no input from parents. I’ve been informed by my own kid that her classmates repeatedly get up during lessons and walk over to their classmates and hit kick or choke each other while the teacher is talking.
This is in addition to all but one of the boys constantly throwing out racial slurs like it’s nothing. It’s so bad that when they watched a film about the holocaust, the boys had to be separated from the girls because they couldn’t stop making holocaust jokes. These are 11 year olds.
My daughter is the only one in the class who reads for enjoyment and I believe the only one in the class who even has books. And it’s not because we live in a desperately underprivileged area with a rough school. Pretty much everyone in the neighborhood owns their own home and we are one of the poorest families here.
These kids are just not being parented and are turning into developmentally challenged bigots.
Sorry that was a bit of a tangent. Yes obviously love and support your LGBT-cuties. But also don’t let them have unrestricted access to the internet.
Oh obviously lol keep your kids off of internet cesspools, that should be a given but i feel ya ive seen alot of that in my kids school too
The Trans Youth Emergency Project is one way to help with this: https://southernequality.org/tyep/
Happy Lemmy cakeday!
I had this exact reaction to my dad ranting about Zohran Mamdani.
