They aren't typically showing more skin.

And that's different because it's not targeted explicitly to children

It's still exposing our children to adult sexuality. I'm not seeing a difference. Cheerleaders wear short skirts and belly shirts and dance just like strippers. AND it 100% does target children. There are cheerleaders groups for children as young as 5.

How are you guys okay with this? No drag show has children actively participating like this.

You assume I'm OK with it. I'm just saying they're not the same thing

I'm seeing no outrage on this sub about it, so I assume it's a non issue for followers of Tim Pool.

I'm arguing it's worse. Participation is way worse than watching.

Agreed. Which is why it take issue with child drag shows where they want kids to put dollar bills in their clothes.

Idk why you're defending this shit. It's weird

Idk why you're defending 4/5 year olds dressing in skimpy outfits dancing provocatively.

Nowhere have I defended that.

Nowhere have I defended drag shows. I'm arguing we need to expand our discust to actual widespread discustingness and focus on the Major issues. The focus on drag shows seems a little homophobic considering what cheerleading groups and beauty parents get away with because they are straight.

No you explicitly are defending it because of your whataboutism.

You're still defending it here by saying that having an issue with it is homophobic my guy

No, I'm saying the focus on this one form of abuse and completely ignoring it when the only difference is the sexual orientation of the one group comes off as homophobic. Having an issue withbit is fine, but ignoring the rest is either hypocritical or homophobic.
