'Won't someone think of the children?!!!'
Scream the folks who, it seems, think of children altogether too much...
Jan 31, 2026 16:17As someone belonging to one of a multitude of marginalised communities frequently scapegoated as harming children. Can we please finally admit the problem is always, has always been, WILL ALWAYS BE the goddamn scapegoaters?!
The church, the entire billionaire class, right wing politicians, tech bros, the 'what is a woman' crowd... they have always been pointing directly into a mirror!
This isn't a mad conspiracy, it's the simplest manipulation in the playbook: Projection.
People who do bad things need to blame easier targets. It makes them feel better and it covers for them.
