And none of the makeup is "pride" themed.

Why does the Freddie impersonator look like he has T-Rex arms? Freddie was tall and lithe, not a goddamn manlet!

"Eye candy" seems to be "dehumanizing" and "objectifying" - and beauty "problematic" - in the freak show that is Clown World 2020+.

And putting these uggos on display is inhumane. It violates international laws banning torture.

The problem is that LA Pride marketed itself as an ‘all ages’ event. I wouldn’t care if they blatantly said ‘18+’ on their website, but that wasn’t the case. The stuff with Miley was probably adults only, and while I can say it’s distasteful, I really don’t care what adults on their own get up to. Also families with kids regularly stay out after dark lol, kids love fireworks and shit like that. I’ve been to family-centric events that lasted well until midnight. Night time isn’t an excuse to whip out a bedazzled schlong to wave around at your ‘all ages’ event.

Yeah but as a parent if you know there's going to be more adult-themed activity after dark at an event, it's you're responsibility to make sure the semen demons are in bed before dark. People manage to do it at Dragoncon, which is basically Nerdi-gras to the point that after 10pm or so you'll see people walking around in nothing but thongs and electrical tape.

I’d say that’s significantly worse than skimpy stuff that actually hide the bits, but kids shouldn’t be exposed to any of it.

Have I been living under a rock? I thought the baked chicken look was the worst she had to offer.
I feel bad for zoomers. It was so easy for the baby boomer generation to shock their parents.

Baby boomers also lived in an era where the age of consent in a lot of states was like 14. I feel like a lot of people forget that when debating inappropriate sexualization of kids.

Also if a kid was gay they'd get sent off to a psychiatric institution to be literally, forreal forreal tortured or thrown out on the streets by their parents.

Yeah, I mean recall that when Jerry Lee Lewis married his cousin the uproar was NOT over the fact that she was 13 at the time.

Plus wasn't it perfectly legal at the time as well?

I think we take for granted that was the common if not universal experience of gay men of a certain era, but it's a little hysterical for the purposes of gaining sympathy and acceptance for homosexuality. It certainly wasn't easy being gay and could be quite dangerous. Parents could be quite misguided in their treatment of their gay sons, but institutionalizing them was not that common, mostly because young people can keep their shit to themselves until they move out. And moving out early back then wasn't as horrible as my generation and younger make it out to be. Some of that's our own fault, some of it is society just assumes you'll never move out.

Who said I was just talking about gay sons?

Also the reason people don't usually move out young like they used to is they cant afford it

Let's make merch for queers and sell it at a discount. Eventually they'll have to accept that nobody honestly wants any of this shit

You don’t know though. It’s literally marketed as an all age event, that’s the problem. Hell, if they’d of made an announcement that parents should remove their kids then it would be slightly less creepy. Like I said, kiddos don’t have a curfew mandated by law, if you want to have an event where people wave around fake dongs after dark, don’t market it as ‘all ages’.

Plus wasn't it perfectly legal at the time as well?

No. Past the 1900s the only continental state with an age of consent under 16 was Georgia, at 14, this was raised to 16 in the mid 90s. Though most of the western world has an age of consent range between 14-16. You’d have to go back to the 1800s to see an age of consent range between 10-12+, but these marriages weren’t particularly common either. Jerry Lee Lewis lied about his cousin’s age, paperwork was easier to forage in rural places back in the day. When her actual age came to light people were pretty outraged. Hell, people were outraged when Elvis married Priscilla and Tiny Tim married Miss Vicky. The 50s and 60s weren’t that long ago in comparison to human history.

Edit: grammar fix

Oooor parents could use their common sense and realize that after dark no one wants to have to see or hear their crotch goblins, and they're probably tired AF from running around all day anyway.

I don't see anything wrong with an event staying tame in the day and getting more adult after dark, with everyone who attends the event knowing that's how it is and if they have kids, they need to prepare accordingly.

And if all else fails, well, millions of kids saw Janet Jackson's actual nipple on live TV and presumably were ok in the long run. Christina Aguilera with a fake dong is probably less graphic than Janet's actual nip

Then don’t attend all ages events, there’s going to be kids and families there, that’s the point. Go to a gay bar and do whatever it is you do without worrying about other people’s kids.

I don't see anything wrong with an event staying tame in the day and getting more adult after dark, with everyone who attends the event knowing that's how it is and if they have kids, they need to prepare accordingly.

Me neither, which is why you need a disclaimer. Again, don’t market your entire event as kid friendly if you want to be overtly sexual. It ain’t rocket science.

And if all else fails, well, millions of kids saw Janet Jackson's actual nipple on live TV and presumably were ok in the long run. Christina Aguilera with a fake dong is probably less graphic than Janet's actual nip

Two wrongs don’t make a right. I’d be inclined to disagree however, considering that Janet’s titty was on screen for a second at most, I had the unfortunate privilege of seeing it when it happened. That’s a pretty big difference than a woman dressed as a kid’s superhero, flopping around with a dick for an entire performance.

There is so many pride shit everywhere now. I feel like it's getting more every year. With what will we be bombarded the next year? Changing the theme of your browser to pride colors? I usually don't care about stuff like that but I'm starting to get really fucking sick of this homo shit. Do your gay stuff but leave me alone. Ffs.

Edge already kind of does this. They stick a big fucking photo of a pride parade as your new tab background even if you’ve explicitly disabled all of those features.

I wouldn't be surprised if the asexual colors were added to the arrow. And then the lesbian colors. And then the gay colors. And then the genderqueer colors. In a few more years the LGBT flag will probably look like this, because despite the all these identities already being included, they want to be obnoxiously visible and hog attention:

Even when tranny pride has it's own sections they still force them into the traditional pride rainbow because fuck being "just" gay that's almost as problematic as straight.

Replying to myself, but I found the models! (source) It's some tiktok faggot (Fucking Chilean James Charles, but even faggier) and Jordi Castell.

What's weird is that Castell (who impersonated Freddie and I guess the drag grandpa) is 182 cm tall (~6 foot), so I don't know that's with the arms.

As if Edge wasn't gay enough already.

I really don't understand these kinds of things. What's the message to anyone who is against this shit? Like, my father needs to use the internet, and he actively dislikes queers. Do focus groups ever sit and watch people like my dad interact with their UI or product or whatever and think, yeah, we like how we pissed that guy off. Do they really think this bitchy, mean-girls tactic of making crusty conservatives feel excluded makes them want to soften up and join the queers or at the very least start licking their boots?

I remember the Google Doodle having Marsha P Johnson on it on a day where I needed to google a bunch of things and it just annoyed the fuck out of me. We're not all progressive left you fucks. Keep it to inventors of lightbulbs and cotton gins if you must. I disagree with my father politically on enough things that we don't talk that much about it, but even I sit there and think, if this is bugging me, how infuriating is this to people like my dad? And it's not like he's some crazy nut job nor are most of the conservatives I know.
