I asked about your passive aggressive condemnation of people objecting to subconsciously grooming children into homosexual behaviours. I didn't ask that looking for an excuse, but an explanation.
But I am not doing that. You are reading into my post something which is not there, consciously or subconsciously. I admit I missed a line following your "I do not follow you" comment due to midnight blog reading, but you have no excuse here. I have been dealing with these empty accusations for a long time online and off, and I am tired of it. You assert there is nasty content in our libraries. You assert people are grooming kids. You assert the library is full of smut intended to groom kids. You draw on unrelated news to bolster these empty assertions. You seem to be relying on the yellow journalism that pervades this topic. And yes, I am on edge because the last several months have made my job hell and frayed my nerves.
Many children's books today feature illustrations, detailed descriptions, and strongly promote, perverse sexual intercourse with each other and adults.
First, [citation needed], and second, is this really an accurate description of most books people are complaining about? I'm sure there are some books out there fitting this description, but are they actually in your local library, and are they actually being promoted to children?
Children exposed to such background degeneracy in books will expect it IRL, just as children exposed to fake history in books will disbelieve contrary narratives regarding the peopling of the Americas.
Do you think library books are the way people learn about gay marriage these days? Are libraries really spearheading a movement to gay up the kids? No. The background is already there. We're in a fallen world. And the hand-wringing of concerned parents isn't addressing any root problems and often results in mindless attacks on books based on nothing but paranoid rumors. Even if there is an explicitly gay character, it's usually a passing mention, not a core subject. And as for the teen books, no one would be paying attention without these constant complaints, and they would fade away on their own.
Consider this: no one has borrowed our copy of 50 Shades of Grey in months. I'm sure the district will keep a copy or two around, but not every library will need it eating up scarce shelf space. Same for fad teen lit if folks would just let the hype die down on its own.
You assert there is grooming. That is absolutely a loaded accusation. You want to talk about passive-aggressive? Labeling something with a loaded term is disgusting manipulation.
Now I'm going to try to get some sleep before once again setting out into the hellscape of working for a community suddenly convinced I'm a secret predator because of online bullshit.
Perhaps you should consider that the accusations aren't empty, that your own words are what lies behind the identical responses from otherwise unrelated people, responding, as am I, to what you have said. Wherever you go, there you are. If you continually face the same opposition, you continually inspire it.
Your denial that your statement is what it is is exemplary of the above. I doubt any of your 'accusers' did other than note your words. Denying you meant what you said is indicative of lack of courage to state things outright, knowing your intention was not good or beneficial and explaining your passive aggressiveness.
Quote me. You're fabricating red herrings, straw men to do battle with that have nothing whatsoever to do with me or anything I've said. Above all, you simply deny you said what you said, and by this means simply refuse to answer for the sly insinuation and passive aggressive condemnation of people that care about the good character and success in life of their children.
There being no other potential benefit to be gained from continuing this conversation, since you simply cravenly deny your actual statements, craft whatever words you want to put in my mouth, and veer off into tangents comprised wholly of your own fantastic hallucinations, I am done here, and with you.
You accuse me of veering into tangents after you commented on my post with an implication I support teaching kindergarteners about anal sex and then play victim when I say that is uncool?
I have followed up on a lot of the books people are complaining about. Most of the complaints are spurious. Some complaints are subjective, and often based on deliberate mischaracterization of a book for young adults based on out-of-context passages presented as if it is alongside Dr Seuss. Very few have any real merit, and these are hardly being pushed on kids at most libraries. These critics are taking every single complaint they can make and labeling everything as "obscene," muddying the waters and destroying any real chance of constructive dialogue.
Don't try to gaslight me while I am struggling with burnout and insomnia.
