Wait… a convicted criminal hid behind the phrase “save our children” and actually ended up doing more harm than good? Completely unprecedented!

If I had a nickel for every "save our kids" bozo that committed a crime against children, I'd be filthy rich.

Everyone misses the elipses at the end of the group name.
They are actually the "Save our children.... so that we have some to stab later group.

Its really a cry for help of self control.

"Save some for us!!!"

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

Turns out the movement is really about who called dibs on stabbing kids.

[–] Kobibi@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

Save our children? No, children stabbed!

I would far prefer to leave my daughter in the company of a drag queen or king as opposed to one of these insane pieces of shit.

What's a drag king act? A woman in a tuxedo singing Sinatra songs?

This is so much better than bingo, I had never seen that before, only drag queens. (Also fun)

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 2 days ago

I actually agree tbh. Provided the drag queen/king doesn't have a record or a history (I don't think that's common anyway)

Reminds me of this recent story: Anti-migrant protester who claimed to want to ‘protect children’ is convicted paedophile

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I unironically know of a guy who is an asylum seeker and convicted criminal who is complaining about illegal immigrants

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Again? Another person claiming to save the children is doing heinous shit to children?

Drop the act you pack of assholes!

Supsrising. He looks like he'd be great with children...
