‘Groomer’ discourse intensifies and neo-Nazis celebrate in wake of Colorado Springs attack

In the wake of the November 20, 2022, mass shooting that killed 5 and injured dozens at Club Q in Colorado Springs, Colorado, there has been a significant rise in noxious discourse across social media platforms, vilifying LBGTQ+ communities and individuals by labeling them ‘groomers’ and ‘pedophiles.’

This messaging, being echoed and amplified by politicians as well as social media influencers including some affiliated with the far right, is contributing to an atmosphere of suspicion, and in some instances, calls for violence. The attack, and apologetic responses to the attack, has emboldened violent accelerationist neo-Nazi groups, who are celebrating the attacker and linking the incident to mainstream discourse about LGBTQ+ people.

I honestly thought gay-bashing for political gain was a thing of the past. With so many celebrities and billionaires coming out of the closet; same sex marriage becoming common; hate crime laws; visibilty...

I thought illegals and abortion were the new propaganda tools. But here we are again.

The bloodthirstiness of the far right knows no bounds. These wackadoodles listen to far right talk radio and watch far right social media day in and day out, getting a non-stop menu of hysterical fear-mongering and outright lies. They've been digesting this crap for years and now we're paying the price for it.

Gays need to drop the TQ. They’re ones going on about kids.

We also need to reclaim “homosexual”.

And reclaim queer as a slur.

R3 you’re so dumb. Since you’re so obsessed with kids, do you think the nutjob right wingers are going to be ok with gays having kids themselves (happening more and more these days) or only drag queens having extremely limited connections to kids for an hour a month lol.

Of course it's intensifying, you have homos here on DL happily intensifying it themselves. Any wonder then that it's taking off in the wider world?

r3 The breeders DO NOT GIVE A SHIT about your desire to have a separate community. They do not have the time or the energy to think of us separately, they are busy having jobs, raising kids, and living their own straight lives. Get that through your thick fucking skull already. For better or worse, we are treated as one community by the majority and that's simply not going to change.

True, r8…. Straights go along with the TQs to support gay rights.

The TQs are exploiting that and bringing us down.

TQ = homophobic

r13 This pretty much settles it. The shooting was a hate crime. Sorry, Repigs and Gender Critters!

As for the "drop the TQ+" trolls above: The far-right is already onto that. They're going after the most marginalized minorities, namely, trans people, with all they can, and after they're done with them, they'll be going after more established minorities, the LGB and the Jews. In fact, they've already started attacking LGB people. Drag queens are mostly LGB! And if we "drop the T", we'll only be accelerating this process. To stop the far-right on their tracks, a sound strategy is to STRENGTHEN THE T AND DRAG QUEENS.

Blame Ryan Murphy, Sam Levinson and RuPaul and every “gender affirming” plastic surgeon for normalizing gender denial. Straights have every right to be alarmed by this. We all do. It is a bridge too far.

r15 Surgeries have been performed to give people little horns and pointy teeth. Why should the trans stuff, which is performed even in Iran, be a bridge too far? America is still a democracy, shithead. You're either a pant-shitting coward who would lick Nazi boot if need be, or you're an actual Nazi in disguise.

Just a warning to all bootlicking cowards on Datalounge: You're never going to get Nazis to love you. Just look at the barrage of antisemitism we've been seeing in culture lately. Right-wing Jews such as Ben Shapiro and Chaya Raichik have been trying to mix with the Nazis by joining them in the anti-gay bandwagon, AND IT'S STILL NOT WORKED FOR THEM. Even Shapiro's friends and employees, such as Candace Owens and Steven Crowder, are getting increasingly louder in their antisemitism. And you're going to learn the same lesson if you copy their strategy. After you're done polishing the homophobes' boots with your spit, they're going to shoot your skull anyway.

That's fake news, to stay in the lingo you reactionary, fearmongering, dogwhistling, disingenuous, terf-cult maga-like maniacs understand. What's true however is that a significant number of trans youth and their families are suing due to lack of access to health care or long waiting lists, with dire consequences. More and more people are beginning to understand how you narcissistic freaks operate.

It's patently obvious that not one poster on this thread has done a "Clear Thinking" course. Nor do they recognize what is obviously agenda-driven content in OP's link. Probably because they're all way too busy spewing juvenile pejoratives.

Why can’t the T mobilize their own defence? Oh that’s right, they don’t have one because they latched onto the gays to use as a human shield.

There are groomers. Stop pretending they don't exist.

Unfortunately for the T community and all those in it, whether they have true gender dysphoria or just some paraphilic kink, grooming children has been a big part of their ideology and their practice. It has been insidious, and its tentacles have quietly and now not so quietly reached into many areas of life. The TRAs have been quietly rewriting school curriculum all over the country for years - it only recently coming to light.

Some of that grooming may just be for validation of the Trans identifying person (See it must be real, we talked these children into believing it!) but make no mistake some of this grooming is for the sick paraphilic purposes of the groomer. Both are fundamentally wrong and need to be pushed back against. The gay community has always recognized that children need to be left alone and used to have the backbone to say so.

Calling people Nazis because they oppose child grooming is the exact tactic that Nazis and Fascists use. It won't fly here. DL knew what the Ts were up to 10-15 years ago.

If you want a good laugh, watch this “gender affirming” medical doctor (from Yale, no less) avoid going on record as ever having recommended surgery to youth with gender dysphoria.

The clip also demonstrates how mentally unwell “gender affirming healthcare for youth” supporters are.

I watched a longer video of the FL Board of Medicine interviewing this phy$ician where she flat out blew off a question…she claimed she couldn’t hear it. Question asked but never answered.

She doesn’t want to get sued.

You lunatic. Referencing institutionally transphobic, radicalized, disinforming and anti-sceince Times and BBC - taken over by/functioning as a mouthpiece for obsessed 'gender criticals' (=terf cultists) - is like Trump referencing Fox News. You're lost causes.

R42 No dear, the lost cause is you. You are the lunatic.

We don't believe in conversion therapies for gay people. Got it?

In fact they are outlawed in most civil countries. And the in the US they are banned in 25 states, including California and NY.

Puberty blockers and sex reassignment surgeries for teens is just another form of conversion therapy.

It should be banned for teens (only reserved for very exceptional cases) as is now happening in Europe. See Sweden, the UK, France.
