    Look up “statistics drag queens crimes against minors” on Google.

    Now do the same for “statistics priests crimes against minors”.

    Notice anything interesting?

    If a certain narrative is relying only on isolated stories and journalistic reports, and the other has statistical studies to back up its claims, I’d trust the latter to have a closer grip on reality.

        This weird whataboutism that religious apologists engage in speaks really bad about you, but I’ll bite.

        Any institution that gives adults authority over children and creates room for abuse should be scrutinized and have tight checks and controls. Fortunately, many educators across the West are taking action by teaching children about consent so that they’re capable of protecting their rights and calling out abuse against themselves as early as possible. Unfortunately, I’ve seen plenty of Conservatives lashing out against this and religious schools have a worrying tendency to resist incorporating comprehensive education about consent into their curriculum.

          Well, yeah, then they wouldn’t be able to abuse children with impunity. Haven’t you been paying attention?

          Most of the people I’m around believe that priests and drag queens abuse children so that specific argument isn’t helpful. The issue is their news sources confirm and compound their general fear of the unknown.

        Anti-Muslim =/= Anti-Islam. If you instinctively react to criticism of Islam in a way that you don’t react to criticism of Christianity, you likely have a bias that you may want to check out. Broad criticisms against Muslims and/or Arabs is hate speech, and in certain cases, racism; criticizing Islam is as necessary for any society that wants to get rid of moral dogma as it is criticizing any other major religion.

          1. This and this are both higher quality memes than this and deserve more upvotes.
          2. There are comments on the lower quality one implying it has less upvotes specifically because it’s about Islam. Not because it’s lower quality.
          3. This criticism (of people who understandably downvote low-quality memes) is performative outrage, and is more telling than this page’s alleged bias against anti-Islam memes.

          Which of these claims do you take issue with?

            I agree with your first two points, but I think that the third one denotes lack of nuance.

            Take a look at this thread. There are plenty of well reasoned anti-religion arguments that are found to be controversial (looking at the upvote/downvote proportion) to a degree that you aren’t going to see in a post where the object of criticism or mockery is Christian. The meme itself isn’t the epitome of comedy, but it’s close to the average to the channel; the essence of its criticism is correct and the target is religious figures, so I think my narrative explains that situation better.

            This doesn’t mean there aren’t also people here who are motivated by bigotry, which we should shut down. In fact, I think that a lot of well meaning progressives instinctively suspect that, which is why they become overzealous at the minimum suspicion of racism, but take it to the worrying extreme of being suspicious of criticisms that they’d agree with if they were directed at the religions they grew up with.

          “Religion is shit and creates abuse.” - Woke “SPECIFIC RELIGION is shit and creates abuse. All hail MY GOD OF CHOICE!” - Yes, that’s hate speech. That’s just what it is.

          If you have an issue with that, maybe try broadening your horizons on what shit is.

    It has been like three years since conservatives discovered that drag queens exist. I have to see one (1) case of a drag queen abusing a child.

    I have, however, seen national governments and the Holy See itself admit to their own robed cabal of child rapists.

    It’s because of the top group and their antics that we’re worried about the bottom group. Or any group that takes an unhealthy interest in other people’s children…
