    Because they used to be against the concept of an authoritarian government.
    The right used to believe in individual responsibility to parent your own children.

    DISPATCHES FROM WEIMAR AMERICA: Gamer Groomers: ‘The Sims’ Introduces ‘Top Surgery Scars,’ ‘Binders’ as Character Accessories.

    Gamer Groomers: 'The Sims' Introduces 'Top Surgery Scars,' 'Binders' as Character Accessories.

    Promoting the fad of mutilation.

    'We have so much new stuff with this release and we can’t wait to dive in and tell you all about it. We do want to make a quick note that while we have added quite a few new assets…Top Surgery Scar'

    'Under the same Body category, all players can find a Body Scars category with an option for Teen and older male Sims (masculine or feminine frame) to add a Top Surgery Scar to their Sims.'

    'Binders and Shapewear'

    'With this update, players can find two new assets in Create a Sim. Under the Tanks, in the Tops category, you will find a Binder top asset for your Teen and older Sims. In the Underwear category for Bottoms, there is a new shapewear asset for your Sims as well!'

    'Assuming a transgender user is playing The Sims to live out a fantasy life, why wouldn’t they create a character that’s just naturally whatever gender they wish they were?'

    Good question

    'Of course, most transgenders are more accurately described as “trans-trenders” because their “gender diversity” is designed to elicit social praise, not to become another gender, which is the stated goal. So naturally, they’d want their character to proudly display her top surgery so everyone knows she’s trans, not to actually look like a boy which is ostensibly the whole point of “transition.”'

    Exactly. They are gaming the Oppression Matrix

    [​IMG]

    The constant prodding of our young toward surgical destruction. Why is only Ron DeSantis seemingly able to stand up to this evil, effectively?

    • So you're a big fan of sex shows aimed at children?
    • And you think that government should butt out if the parents are on board?
    • And you think those that support Constitutional Liberal Democracy should support the right of parents to take their children to adult sex shows?
    How far do you take this? Do you think that parents have an inherent right to sexually traffic their children?

    Quite a bit of projection there.
    The left doesn't support child abuse, no party supports child abuse.

    Where is the data that any of DeSantis redundant policies will have an affect on the number of child abuse incidents?

    I support data proving his policies will reduce occurances of child abuse. I want to know why you think government does a better job then the parent.

    The parents are not being sanctioned, the liquor serving establishment that allowed children in to see an adult themed sex show is losing its liquor license for violating the terms under which the liquor license was granted.

    Standard practice...so what's any of that got to do with Desantis?
    Those laws were already in place.

    LEAVE THEM KIDS ALONE: DeSantis Goes After Foundation for Lewd Drag Show Event With Children Present.

    Last December, some very disturbed Leftists put on 'an event called “A Drag Queen Christmas” at venues in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Orlando. The show was part of a national tour, and despite the repeated claims that the event was “family-friendly,” it was loaded with graphic sexual content.'

    Disgusting adults aimed it at children and then let their freak flags fly. You can go to the link if you want to see video, it's pretty disgusting, children as young as 9 years old were there to watch 'men with kink harnesses grab their privates, grind, and simulate humping.'

    The State of FL promptly put them on notice that this appeared to be violative behavior.

    'The Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) is aware of multiple complaints about a sexually explicit performance marketed to children held in Fort Lauderdale on December 26th. The Department is actively investigating this matter, including video footage and photographs from the event. DPBR will, like in other cases, take action.'

    'Exposing children to sexually explicit activity is a crime in Florida, and such action violates the Department’s licensing standards for operating a business and holding a liquor license.'

    'The Department will share any collected evidence with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) for potential criminal liability.'

    'Florida’s Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DPBR) has filed a six-count complaint against the Orlando Philharmonic Foundation, Inc. for hosting the event in Orlando on Dec. 28 while children were present. The complaint could cause the venue where the drag show took place to lose its liquor license.'

    They were given fair warning by the State: 'prior to the shows, it warned the foundation that “Sexually explicit drag show performances constitute public nuisances, lewd activity, and disorderly conduct when minors are in attendance” and that if the foundation “failed to ensure that minors were prohibited from attending such performances, its license would be subject to penalties up to and including revocation.”'

    But rather than heed the sensible warnings, they decided to just FAFO.

    'State Rep. Anna V. Eskamani (D-47th district) went after the governor in a tweet thread complaining about his “anti LBGTQ+ agenda.”'

    Perhaps she is unaware that subjecting children to adult sex shows is NOT part of the LGB agenda. Gays against Grooming has been one of the more loud voices making it quite clear that the vast majority of LGB do NOT support this.

    Keep it up! And why isn't every Republican Governor doing the same?

    Also DeSantis's administration does NOT have the power to revoke alcohol licenses from establishments that hold Drag Shows that minors have attended.
    It's a long process and until completed establishments can continue serving alcohol.

    Here's the latest on another Christmas show,



    'Undercover agents saw nothing 'lewd' at Orlando drag show. Florida is going after venue anyway'

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/undercover-agents-saw-nothing-lewd-120000748.html


    "When the historic Plaza Live theater in Orlando hosted an event last December called “A Drag Queen Christmas,” the show drew a full house, noisy street demonstrators — and a small squad of undercover state agents there to document whether children were being exposed to sights that ran afoul of Florida’s decency law.

    The Dec. 28 performance featured campy skits like “Screwdolph the Red-Nippled Man Deer” and shimmying, bare-chested men who wouldn’t have been out of place at a Madonna concert. Also a hip thrust or two, similar to what is sometimes indulged in by NFL players after a touchdown. All of it was dutifully recorded by the undercover agents on state-issued iPhones.

    But while the agents took photos of three minors — who appeared to be accompanied by adults — at the Orlando drag show, they acknowledged that nothing indecent had happened on stage, according to an incident report obtained exclusively by the Miami Herald.

    “Besides some of the outfits being provocative [bikinis and short shorts], agents did not witness any lewd acts such as exposure of genital organs,” the brief report stated. “The performers did not have any physical contact while performing to the rhythm of the music with any patrons.”

    Still, the state’s Department of Business and Professional Regulation proceeded to file a complaint against the nonprofit that runs Plaza Live, claiming the venue had illegally exposed children to sexual content. The complaint, issued Feb. 3, seeks to strip the small, nonprofit theater of its liquor license — a serious blow that would likely put it out of business."

    Interesting. I was unable to locate any named first person source, but, I haven't seen the video that's claimed to show much more than described in your link.

    That's for sharing this, we'll keep an eye on it.

    This is better, it's the Miami Herald's article that yahoo quoted from.
    Scroll down to see part of the report and it contains info on the other shows.

    It's fake outrage, and it isn't about protecting kids. It's about hating on drag queens because they think they are icky. Not a single one of these Republicans are trying to make it illegal for a parent to bring their kid to a rated R movie.

    I don't feel the need to say that people need my permission for basic first amendment expression, so yes, I find the first amendment acceptable. Why do you disagree?

    iirc: another state had the same ruling, "vague" and "overbroad"


    'Judge places temporary block on Florida law barring minors from drag shows'


    ;A federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked Florida from enforcing a law barring minors from drag shows. U.S. District Judge Gregory Presnell found that the law, which was signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) last month, was likely not "narrowly tailored" enough, making it potentially "unconstitutionally vague and overbroad." The judge noted the law does not define several key terms and phrases, such as "live performance," "child," "lewd conduct" or "lewd exposure of prosthetic or imitation genitals or breasts."
