Aaron driver is a shitty parent

Shitty person, actually.

"parental rights" is usually just code for instilling bigotry or other abuse
Tiger666@lemmy.ca · 13 pts · 20d
There is no such thing as parental rights.
There are only parental responsibilities.
Those who think they have rights over other human beings(including children) are akin to slave owners.
OccamsRazer@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 19d
Parental rights is about who has the right to influence and teach children, what they are taught.
hume_lemmy@lemmy.ca · 12 pts · 20d
They view children as property. So teaching their "property" things like "rights" and "tolerance" is just like... installing Linux on their PCs. It makes it completely unusable to them, especially because they don't like learning.
Tiger666@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 20d
100% agree.
Lianodel@ttrpg.network · 2 pts · 19d
I always like to bring up that the Republican Party of Texas, I think in 2012, made it an explicit part of their platform to oppose teaching critical thinking because it undermines parental authority.

Conservatives are such a heady mix of stupid and dishonest.

Considering how these folks tend to end up: has anyone checked Aaron's PC for any "hidden" folders full of pictures?
unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 20d
Put it plain: it's OK for kids to ask questions
Custard@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 20d
I guarantee you those kids would be asking anyway. Do Americans not have sex ed in elementary school?
nickiwest@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 20d
Sex Ed varies by state and sometimes by school district. In elementary school, it's frequently limited to "good touch, bad touch"-type lessons.
It's not uncommon for parents to need to "opt in" for their kids to be included in the lessons at all ages. Basically, they have to approve of letting their kids learn about sexual health.
Bytemeister@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 19d
Doesn't really happen until middle school here. I had a Health class in 5th grade that was basically like "your body is going to change, please take showers every day, and use this stuff called deodorant."
Actual sex-ed wasn't until 7th grade, and even then, it was basically "Boys, here is all the horrible stuff that will happen to your dick if you get an STD. Girls, the urge to have sex will turn you into worthless husks, also, here's some horrible shit that can happen to your pussy."

What a confusing headline. I don't think most reasonable people would know or assume that 'Libs of Tiktok' is a conservative hate group.
generic_computers@lemmy.zip · 57 pts · 20d
Less of a group and more just a cunt named Chaya Raichik.
tempest@lemmy.ca · 34 pts · 20d
Yeah I don't understand why the media doesn't name her.
Oh wait maybe I do...
ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 20d
Yep. It's rich given that the article says she "strongly objected" when WaPo publicly identified her as the founder behind the Libs of TikTok account in 2022. Just like all bullies, she can't bear even a fraction of what she dishes out on the regular.
gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works · 44 pts · 21d
It’s one of those iykyk things. I detest TikTok and refuse to use it (and short form brainrot video bullshit in general), but I’ve been aware of it as a hard-right channel/user/whatever for a while now.
SaltySalamander@fedia.io · 17 pts · 20d
When's the last time you ever heard a liberal refer to themselves as a "lib"?
alekwithak@lemmy.world · -5 pts · 20d
I don't know any leftists that refer to themselves as liberal at all, so anyone who does accept the label I wouldn't know what they call themselves.
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world · 3 pts · 20d
I'm a liberal and that's what I call myself.

Apart from enabling facsism, there is nothing gross about it.

Cool.
Don’t forget to vote in the primaries and mid terms this year I know I will be.

I call myself liberal. I don't call myself a Liberal, capitalized. liberalism is the opposite of conservative. Liberals are modern Democrats.

Pavidus@lemmy.world · 27 pts · 21d
Can confirm. I know someone who lost their career over this bitch.
Blibly@lemmy.world · 56 pts · 21d
I guess stochastic terrorism just isn't a crime? She's been doing this targeted harassment for years. Our country is failing partly because the law just isn't enforced on anyone like this. The fuck is going on?
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world · 44 pts · 20d
It's only terrorism when it comes from the terrorist region of Afghanistan.
When a Zionist does it, it's Sparkling Free Speech.
Maestro@fedia.io · 7 pts · 20d
Sparkling
Free SpeechGenocideFishFace@piefed.social · 3 pts · 20d
Because the law recognises a difference between direct and indirect causes.
If it recognised indirect causes then Lemmy would fucking implode due to the amount of people wishing death to various individuals.
zqps@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 20d
Wishing death isn't an indirect cause of anything, though inciting others to do harm could be.
FishFace@piefed.social · 3 pts · 20d
I suspect enough people wishing death to members of the same group increases the risk to that group, don't you?
zqps@sh.itjust.works · -1 pts · 20d
If they don't act on it nor incite others to do so, then no. That's exactly the difference between harassment and stochastic terrorism.

It's one crazy bitch that posts awful stuff. Her name is Chaya Raichik.
tacoplease@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 18d
Her account is called "Libs of TikTok" .

Oh my god, she is still around? I haven't heard about her in a while. Looks like they are trying to drum up more trans hate again. She is just a propaganda pusher.

I'm so glad TikTok isn't owned by those nefarious censorship loving foreigners anymore.
Headofthebored@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 20d
That shit was hilarious. Popular platform owned by China who didn't censor anything but presumably anti-China topics, but the US couldn't censor or suppress any of what they wanted, because they didn't control it, and they were big mad about it. It was fun while it lasted.

She's so stupid. Watch that interview by Taylor Lorenz if you don't believe she's dumb as bricks
captainlezbian@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 19d
She's a far right propagandist against queer and liberal people despite being an American Jewish woman. I don't know how much dumber I can be convinced she is unless she regularly forgets how to breathe

I don't get it.
It seems like a lot of Conservatives are angry and confused because they don't know whether or not it's gay to put their penis inside this person? But the people freaking out in confusion are probably never going to see them in real life anyway.
Seems like a huge waste of time and energy to stress out about because some asshat posted their picture online. Even if you're someone who'd not like to put their peen in someone whom it would be considered gay to inpeen, seems like something there's no point worrying about unless it has an actual chance of happening.
