fondled in a theatre full of children.

Let's not stoop to their (the right/GOP) level with the misinformation. While there may have been children present in the theater, most of the people there were adults.

There's plenty enough wrong with what they were doing without trying to demonize them with additional lies.

"Full of kids" doesn't mean all of them need to be kids.

Even 1 kid in the theatre is enough to not do sexual acts around. But even according to you there were a tons since only "most of the people were adults".

Especially if she thinks people in drag are sexualising kids. Since that makes her a hypocrite.

Man, even if there were no kids there, that’s still not the place to do it. I’d have been there to see Beetlejuice, not to see the “beetle” get juiced.

Do the semantics matter? It's a public theater regardless.

You can't demonize more if the situation is already bad. If you want a full sentence, then "fondled in a theater full of children and adults" which is equally as bad.

Exactly end of story.

[–] MrLuemasG@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The truth does matter, yes. We can't sit around and complain about liars while also spreading misinformation.

Also it was Beetlejuice? That's not exactly a clean show

I hate the "think about the children" line being applied to everything, even places where children aren't expected. It's such a pearl clutching tactic.
