@ljmontello I shamelessly judge the validity of someone's trans identity by how cringe their chosen name is. If they're white with a Japanese or video game name, you already know what's up.
@lastquarter00@benkeithphoto Many parents don't. A local pool started a childfree Tuesday. ONE day a week, and there's an affordable water park literally across the street. The outrage about this "decadent, anti-child sentiment" was nuts.
@benkeithphoto@Gavranica1 You're still talking about a Twitter user using some unfortunate language to express a valid need. There are actual childfree cafรฉs, which regularly get targeted with death threats and vandalism. Who's the entitled one irl? https://t.co/JD7zmxC4xc
@lastquarter00@benkeithphoto Nobody but juvenile internet trolls is proposing banning children from public spaces. The other way round, it's childfree cafรฉs that are regular targets of death threats and vandalism.
@benkeithphoto@Gavranica1 "Anti-child behaviour" and it's a stranger using some bad words online in the heat of emotion. Again, noise, stink, germs (and some tiny hands poking my dog while we're at it) are real, what you're outraged about is just thought crime.
@Gavranica1@benkeithphoto Except that doesn't hold up because homophobia is historically intertwined with the expectation that a human's entire non-work existence should revolve around breeding more workers.
@benkeithphoto Civilized people shower after the gym, but you probably think that expectation is ableist. The homeless don't frequent cafรฉs, and you're free to hang out in enclosed sapces with then, I'd rather not. But yes, again, sound waves are sound waves.
@benkeithphoto ...and the idea that you're supposed to feel less bothered by those things if they came from a future taxpayer lest you commit thought-crime is some breeding-centered dystopia I don't want to live in. Also, mommybloggers write condescending essays about cf weddings all the time.
@benkeithphoto OOP didn't choose sensible wording, but nobody said children should be hidden away. The fact that children's screaming legally doesn't count as a noise hazard is because of the ramifications, but noise is noise, germs are germs, stink is stink, sticky surfaces are sticky...
@benkeithphoto Even the faux-tolerant language is similar. Sure, you're free to be whatever you want, but keep it in your own four walls. Maybe it'seven just a phase you'll mature out of. You can exist, but designated spaces (cf cafรฉs, weddings) are decadent and degenerate.
