    Collective Shout is an advocacy group that describes itself as a “movement against the objectification of women and the sexualization of girls.”

    Yet

    “Even just queer people holding hands is seen as not safe for work.”

    So, do chuds want the anime booba in vidya or do they think anime booba is satan tempting them?

    Can they make their choice already?

      This is imo a central chud contradiction. You have the older Christian fundamentalist chuds and then the younger “libertarian” chuds who want their anime booba. The glue that holds the chuds together is bigotry and vague threats, like “woke”, but it’s possible that the chud glue will weaken as the contradictions intensify.

      This the main contradiction within these reactionary social movements. Their way to solve the contradiction is to first point the censorship gun at everything LGBT, since both those groups agree that anything non-straight deserves to be destroyed / eradicated.
