Prediction: The kids are going to take off with this nonsense and actually wear collars or masks or something just to mock the Grups.

This garbage floods social media and then gets into our kids' heads. My 14 year old stepson is *adamant* that there are kids in his school that dress up like dogs and cats and growl and hiss at each other, and that some kids have requested litterboxes in the bathroom. When I ask him if he's seen this first hand he says he saw a girl hiss in the hallway, but didn't know her name and didn't see her dressed up any kind of animal. He says "this is what the world is coming to - kids dressing up like dogs and cats in school." I have no doubt he is getting this garbage from Tik-Tok and/or his father, who claims to be a Democrat but has a seriously mean anti-trans streak running through him.

Yeah, it's Tik-Tok, I think. My kid was mad at Biden because the Iranian woman got killed over the hijab. Was convinced it happened in the US and somehow was within Biden's jurisdiction. What's really weird is how they seem to double down on the stupid if you show them in any way that any part of their crisis beliefs are wrong.

And images and video of people being shitty to minorities are everywhere.

"Well, all the parents say it's happening, or their kids said so"

And, as we all know, no child has ever lied to their parents, or made shit up to troll them, in the history of ever!

Tik Tok seems to be a big spreader of disinfo

If anyone had bothered to check on furries, they would find that cat costumes are far less popular than canids, vulpines and dragons

These people scream about the Left sexualizing children, demanding that we let children be children. Now, you've got some little kids who want to wear cat ears to school, because they're little kids, and these dipshits are trying to turn it into some trans gateway drug. Why can't they just let children be children?

Also, too, this gubernatorial nominee, on a rightwing radio show, announced she had evidence to back this all up, and she was going to give that evidence to the media. Wasn't the guy she was talking to the media? Why didn't she give it to him?

Are you suggesting there's a cadre of rightwing pedophiles who use coded language to communicate with other rightwing pedophiles so as not to get caught by the authorities?

They're actually from a 1950's family sitcom. Notice how much trouble they have with color?

It did a whole lot less damage than when they shoot up in history class now.
