Feel free to google it yourself and pick whatever source you prefer. This "but the source is bad!" argument gets old fast when search engines are a thing and is a classic leftist deflection when presented with evidence. That's just the first things that came up, I didn't spend time trying to make this into a research paper I just pointed out that it was real. This stuff is not exactly hiding. It's, exposed, so to speak. Unless you can prove that all those videos and images are CG, which I suppose is a possibility. Either way, there are plenty of articles or posts of people talking about it (such as asking if it's legal etc) so it sounds to me like it did happen.

None of this matters except to serve your paranoid rationale for taking away the freedoms of others.

Don't run away from me, pal. I'm not gonna criticize your sources or engage in any "leftist deflection." I'm gonna use logic and facts to expose your hypocrisy and your hatred of any freedom except your own. And it's gonna be easy.

Beautiful logic there! /s

“I didn’t spend time…” that’s the problem, you don’t spend time actually reading up on a subject and instead do basic searches and get info from bad sources and you expect others to accept your opinion knowing full well it’s all about your feels and not actual data.

I really do love how you had an excuse ready to go about how the left is always complaining about your sources though. It’s like you can’t put 2 and 2 together, it’s gotta be the left just doing the hate and not just people calling you out on your bull shit.


Here is a pro tip though: if your opinion can’t withstand basic criticism from the “left” because you can’t be bothered to back it up with actual facts, well it’s because your opinion is shit.

Just because you don't like the sources does not change the fact that these things happened. It absolutely does not matter which of the thousands of results I posted you would have just said the same thing. You people always do that. That's why it's not worth my time. I can post 100 links, you'll still refute them.

Oh we can't refute facts but you always run away from a link that counters your nonsense. From Twitter being able to run on a 2000 ft² data center and is no more complicated to run than a regular forum, and everything. You run away from every link with data from neutral sources. Raw facts.

You are the king of running away from facts and here we aren't running away from anything. We just keep calling you on your bullshit.

You are the biggest running away from data of anybody here. Your intellectual dishonesty is corrupt and that's why you're a net negative on society.

That's because your links mean nothing and there's nothing to be refuted.
These things that happened were that people did things you don't like and you want to have their freedom to do those things taken away from them. There is nothing more to it than that.

That's exactly what people have been saying. It's the spin these fucked up sources put on things.

Where is the outrage against Mardi Gras and the crazy nightlife scene in the streets in places like Miami?

We all know Squirrel is a regressive hypocrite that never responds to anything countering his point. He has the IQ of a child, put's his hands in his ears and wiggles them and says 'na nee na nee poo poo, I can't hear you' - like we used to do as little children back in my day. Typical conservative hypocrite.

Again I am not taking away anyone's freedom. Ridiculing what they do and wanting to remove it is two different things. I don't think Twitter should ban people from posting LGBT content for example, but I should also be able to ridicule them. Freedom works both ways.

I was simply pointing out the fact that it happened because I was asked for proof that it did. You are trying to twist this in some weird way.

I disagree that he's a net negative to society. We need people like him to remind us that everyone loves their own freedom. Especially authoritarians. This reminds us to do the one thing he can't do: love the freedoms of others.

Just a quick google search, found these from various sources:




Actual video: (NSFW obviously)

There's way more out there, just search "pride parade naked" or similar terms. This stuff was all over the place when it was pride month.

Now I'm afraid of what Amazon is going to suggest to me to buy after searching this. lol.

But none of that shit celebrates pedophilia or grooming as you claim. You good?

Except you didn’t show that. You posted a link to parade. A parade that is no different than Mardi Gras.

Bullshit. If you actually believed this then you wouldn't be pushing your "but the children" lies. Your agenda is for LGBT to be labelled a mental illness and then outlawed. Probably executed as criminals. You can lie to yourself but that ends there.

The largest institutional abusers of children is the Catholic Church, of which I can almost guarantee the regressive squirrel is a part of. But it's the gays and drag queens that are the problem.

I think he dost protest too much, like most of these clowns.

Seems we've gone full circle and this is going nowhere but another bash fest.

My original post was about how I got banned for ridiculing them and how I acknowledged that freedom of speech is not actually being applied to Twitter like promised. Don't try to pull the constitution, this is about Twitter itself. I know they are a private company and can do what they want, but Elon said he's allow freedom of speech, and clearly it's not the case. I thought that's basically what you people are also saying so not sure why you're trying to spin this around on me. I am literally agreeing with what has been said overall about him breaking his promise.

I never said it should be outlawed, in fact I think these people need help. I just think society as a whole needs to realize that it should not be celebrated. This is an opinion, not me trying to say they should pass some kind of law. Big difference.

Everyone has an opinion right? Does that mean every opinion is valid? Of course not! So what this conversation really boils down to, is do you want to have an opinion based on ignorance or fact? I would hope that people who bother to sign up on this forum and read through posts and create threats and post replies, would be more interested in the facts than simply using this place as a way to get your opinion out there.

Who gives a fuck what they do as long as it's legal? Here you are, claiming to be for free speech, while at the same time trying to shut down LGBTs' legal exercises of freedom of expression.
I'm not twisting anything in a weird way. I'm giving you a mirror to your own hypocrisy.
You see, you think you should be able to express yourself however you want. But if someone you don't like expresses themself in a way you disagree with, oh.. then that needs to be stopped.
Why you see this as weird is because you're used to liberals taking the bait with your stupid links, etc, rather than confronting you head on.

So let me put this clearly. If you want the freedom to spout your hate for all to see, then they get to have their nude parades and drag story time. You want a world of questionable morality, you want unlimited freedom of expression, this is what it looks like. You don't get to have it only your way.

If I recall he wanted to back out of the Twitter deal but got forced to buy it, yes? If so, it looks like he got stuck with something he really didn't want as an after thought, nor did he know exactly what he was getting into judging by the idiotic things he's been saying and doing since he gained ownership. It would explain why he's been doing a lot of stupid crazy things he's done since taking possession. Kind'a like Trump finding himself in a situation where he never planned to be and then being exposed to a shitload of responsibilities he had no idea how to handle while mismanaging his position in all manner of dangerous and superlatively incompetent ways.

You said LGBT should be considered a mental illness and they should be forced into treatment. You said their freedom of expression in ways that you consider lewd should be forcibly stopped. How exactly how are you proposing that be done without passing some kind of law?
Just because you're clueless to the logical consequences of your own agenda doesn't mean the rest of us have to be too.

I think you should take a chill pill.

I don't think they should pass a law saying that you should take a chill pill, but it's my opinion that you should.

You can choose to not do it, and as long as nobody tries to force you to do it, I am not removing your freedom.
