Columbia University Lecturer’s Disturbing Experiment Reveals the Heart of Queer Theory

[e.c.winner]

Never feel ashamed for protecting your children from random weirdos blowing bubbles on the street corner.

[Gumbatron]

You don't talk to anyone's children about any controversial topic, particularly political, ideological or sexual issues without their parents express permission. Ever.

[fredneecher]

People said, "I'm sorry, " out of politeness. What they meant was, 'Get the f*** away from my kids, you pervert.'

[purdysanchez]

This guy: "So i pulled up in an unmarked van and started giving little kids candy. When their parents walked over I tried to explain how the candy represents sexual liberation. Can you believe these bigoted parents had the nerve to take their kids by the hand and quickly get them out of there?"

[albarnes]

"Luring kids with bubbles" is the key here. The activist, who will hide behind his protected identity when challenged, is trying to use the trappings of innocence (blowing bubbles) to destroy innocence, to pollute the public square with the deliberate sexualization and politicization of children. This is offensive and abusive behavior, and a strong community would stop it without hesitation. When challenged, he asserts his "trans identity" and claims that he is the victim instead of the innocent children he is abusing with unwanted talk of "queer bubbles" and identities. He might seem like any other political extremist (nazi, white supremacist, antifa, nation of islam, etc.) standing on a street corner trying to hand out pamphlets and harassing passersby. You might say that is protected speech, even if offensive. Except in this case the targets are children. Despicable. And probably criminal.

Notice how he is attempting to create traumatic moments, where the parents are the baddies in the eyes of their own children.

[MarkDice]

The parents shouldn't have apologized for removing their children from the area. They should have taught the creep a lesson he'd never forget and then called the police to have him arrested.

Old gay here: If I've said it once, I'll say it another hundred times, we rational types do not approve of this crap. Unfortunately, there are too few of us (and even fewer willing to risk their livelihoods) and too many activist types in the world. We're often drowned out in the hysteria.

Just wanted to let you know that some of us are out here fighting the good fight. Good introductory video on the matter for those no in the know Chris.

[stevenlightfoot]

This is perfect. Queer 'theory' is about manipulation and control. Also, I remember as a four year being scared to death by the Child Cather in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and I am sure than then, parents were also unsettled by that character. Creepy dudes (and women) luring children is even a human archetype, broadly, see Pied Piper and Hansel and Gretel. We are naturally repulsed for good reason.

[ezekielbrockmann]

The "pretty rainbow bubbles" to "free candy in the van" pipeline.

[claychandler]

Of course he did this in my home town. Now someone should do the exact same experiment in Los Angeles where the person says the bubbles will make your child a straight, white, Christian and see what happens

[janedoe]

The sickest part is that the parents are so duped (brainwashed, bullied into, manipulated) by these sick movements, they're apologizing for getting their kids away from this creep!

[diabolusfornacis]

Don't be bullied away from using the correct term: Groomer. They're the modern day version of the creep that lures kids into their van with the promise of candy and comic books.

[terriseverson]

How is he any different in his seduction of children technique, than Pennywise the clown? Stranger danger.

As an 11 year old girl one morning I was outside roller skating in the street. When I got to the end of the block I saw s weird man looking at me (he seemed to have full makeup on and was smirking- that's all I noticed). He said hello and I ignored him and was skating by and turning back. Then he said, "oh you won't answer because I'm hispanic?". I stopped for one second (I wasn't too close to him) and looked at him in complete disbelief that he just said something so bizarre and obviously was trying to make me distrust my instincts. He was just casually standing there leaning on a fence smirking. But I bolted. I forget if I told my mom or not. Weirdos on the street were considered a typical day.

I certainly wouldn't be saying "sorry" to this man.

[ryanlewandowsky]

Only thing I will give Judith B credit for is being the inventor of word salad! I am a gay man and I resent queer being included in our community. I don’t know any decent parent who would appreciate having a stranger blow bubbles of god knows what at their kids! You don’t need to be homophobic to strongly object to that!

[jwhite]

It’s creepy to have a grown man without children blowing bubbles for children not related to him. Healthy adults do adult things and befriend other adults. Be wary of any adult who is trying to befriend kids with kid items. To bring up sexuality to perfect strangers on the street is crossing a boundary of common decency.

[mikelee]

It doesn’t matter what he says… there is no legitimate reason for an adult to be talking to other peoples children about sexuality outside of a parentally approved educational program, where the instructor has been thoroughly vetted. I think whoever is going to be involved in sex ed with children should have to submit to some random inspections of their homes and electronic devices

[joer]

Seems very similar to the dynamic at play with Drag Queen Story Hour. And frankly also with some of the CRT stuff that allows people of certain races to commit horrific acts and not only get away with them, but in many cases actually be praised for them.

[meinking]

Queer Theory seeks to "override the instinctual response with an ideological response." Brilliant assessment. Grooming, conditioning, socializing the ideology into the kids, (and parents), through praxis. Activism par excellence.
