Yet, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, and pre-Elon Musk\u2019s Twitter have all banned people for using the word. It\u2019s kind of weird to live in a world where the same kind of people who will call you a Nazi and a white supremacist for not being a fan of Hillary Clinton are so sensitive about being called a groomer for doing creepy sexual things around children, but that is the world we live in.<\/p>\n<p>Still, since the word has become quite popular lately, it\u2019s worth taking a little time to talk about what a groomer is and IS NOT.<\/p>\n<p><span>First of all, as a way to deflect criticism from groomers, people on the Left often claim that the term \u201cgroomer\u201d is commonly applied to all gay people. This is false. I\u2019m sure that there is some conservative, somewhere, who uses the phrase that way, but that\u2019s not how the term is typically applied. In fact, off the top of my head, I don\u2019t know anyone who uses the term that way. Furthermore, if you look at the people who popularized the term on the Right, NONE OF THEM use the term that way. In other words, <\/span><strong>claiming that conservatives refer to all gay people as groomers is not just untrue, it\u2019s an attempt to actively mislead people<\/strong><span>. Of course, the existence of accounts like\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u2026should make that incredibly obvious, but sometimes you have to break it down to the preschool level to try to help liberals understand (and it still doesn\u2019t work most of the time).<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, some people on the Left have pointed to things like this and have tried to call it \u201cgrooming\u201d:<\/p>\n<div class=\"captioned-image-container\">\n<figure><a class=\"image-link is-viewable-img image2\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff2826501-5eec-4c2a-9ae8-6fd3c1b89875_598x429.jpeg\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"image2-inset\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" \/><img src width=\"598\" height=\"429\" data-attrs=\"{\"  style=\"display:none\"><\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>We could have a legitimate debate about whether these activities constitute \u201cgrooming\u201d or not (I\u2019d say \u201cno,\u201d which I\u2019ll go into more detail on a little further down), but all of it is WILDLY inappropriate. Kids shouldn\u2019t be posing next to some booth girl\u2019s ass, dressing in revealing outfits to be judged by adults, or taking cheesecake shots with Hooters girls, which is the most defensible of all of these since time has passed Hooters by. When teen girls at the mall commonly wear outfits as revealing as the Hooters girls, it gets a lot harder to argue the restaurant isn\u2019t for kids. In any case, since liberals are struggling with this concept, let\u2019s go a little deeper.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re supposed to PROTECT CHILDREN, especially when we\u2019re talking about pre-pubescent kids. Even after kids hit puberty, their judgment is poor and they don\u2019t have the life experience to make good decisions. This is why statutory rape laws exist and it doesn\u2019t matter if say a 15-year-old \u201cconsents\u201d to sex with a 25-year-old, it\u2019s still rape. Someone at that age can\u2019t meaningfully consent to an adult. Are kids that age going to experiment with each other, and can there be some legitimately debatable issues around say an 18-year-old and a 17-year-old dating? Absolutely, but as a society, we have always tried to draw as clear a line as possible in this area between adults and kids when it comes to sexual activity.\u00a0 Those lines include trying to keep adult sexual practices, beyond the basics in sex-ed once children get older, out of spaces where kids happen to be.<\/p>\n<p><span>So, what does what we universally accept as the grooming of children look like in practice? Well, here\u2019s the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/centerforchildprotection.org\/grooming-knowing-the-signs-2\/\" rel=\"\">Child Protection Center<\/a><span> with a more detailed breakdown of how grooming can play out:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>1) Targeting the Child<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The offender typically has a preference for gender, age, or a \u201ctype\u201d of child and will pay special attention to him or her.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Gaining the Child\u2019s and Caregiver\u2019s Trust<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw you playing with Legos. I\u2019m planning to see the new movie, you can come with me if you want to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Filling a Need<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know you love reading so I got you this book.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) Isolating the Child<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can trust me because no one understands you more than I do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpecial\u201d trips, one-on-one coaching, babysitting, etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5) Sexualizing the Relationship<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHave you ever watched porn? I can show you what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHave you ever masturbated? I can show you how, it feels really good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>6) Maintaining Control<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you tell anyone, something bad could happen to you and your family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you tell anyone, we could both go to jail and wouldn\u2019t be able to be together.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Creepy, creepy behavior, right? Yet, we now regularly have this entire list playing out in many CLASSROOMS ACROSS AMERICA.<\/p>\n<p>Many teachers try to build relationships with the kids. They also already have built-in trust with the child and caregiver. Those two things are basically part of the job. Additionally, teachers have lots of opportunities to isolate a child and fill a need, \u201cOh, you feel anxious and unpopular? Maybe it\u2019s because you\u2019re the wrong gender!\u201d They\u2019re showing these kids, sometimes very young children, books featuring explicit gay porn. They\u2019re also trying to hide what they\u2019re doing from the parents of these kids.<\/p>\n<p>This is straight-up, by-the-books, THEY WOULD BE IMMEDIATELY FIRED IN A SANE SOCIETY, style grooming.<\/p>\n<p>The same thing goes for drag shows and kids. Granted, you almost have to make an exception for PARENTS who take their kids to drag shows. Are they showing a level of judgment that is so poor that it should cause people to question their fitness as parents? Absolutely. Putting your kid in front of a bunch of weird guys dressed in women\u2019s clothing who often put on heavily sexualized performances shows cataclysmically bad judgment. Drag queen story hour is the equivalent of orgy story hour or Dominatrix story hour. If you wouldn\u2019t want your kid to be read a story by a gimp while his mistress whips him, you shouldn\u2019t want a drag queen reading to your kids either.<\/p>\n<p>Now, when people WHO ARE NOT the parents of those children take kids to watch drag queens perform? Again, we\u2019re back to just straight-up grooming. You\u2019re an adult deliberately joining children in a bizarre, sexualized show designed for adults. If you do that, you\u2019re a gross, creepy groomer who shouldn\u2019t even be allowed within 100 yards of a school, much less teach in one.<\/p>\n<p>There are so many obvious questions about all of this that would have been asked by almost any society from the dawn of mankind, all the way up until a few years ago in blue America. Having a drag queen read to a child is the equivalent of having a drug dealer or patient in an asylum read to kids. Why would you want to hold up such a damaged person as a role model to a child? Why do you want to expose children, particularly very young children, to explicit, gay pornography? Why are you trying to recruit small children to be gay and\/or confused about their gender when it\u2019s so clearly having a huge negative impact on the lives of so many of these kids? When you\u2019re creating a social contagion in your schools that\u2019s causing kids to want to get their penises cut off and attempt to kill themselves at staggering rates, you\u2019d think it would cause some 2nd thoughts. Why are teachers, who are supposed to be teaching kids to read and write so hellbent on pushing this harmful propaganda on kids? Why are drag queens so keen on performing in front of children? Why have there been social media websites, like pre-Elon Musk&#8217;s Twitter, that have turned a blind eye to people that want to sexually exploit children?<\/p>\n<div class=\"captioned-image-container\">\n<figure><a class=\"image-link is-viewable-img image2\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffa645f9e-d423-49eb-ace7-fead756fc222_541x720.jpeg\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"image2-inset\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" \/><img src width=\"541\" height=\"720\" data-attrs=\"{\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"captioned-image-container\">\n<figure><a class=\"image-link is-viewable-img image2\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5977e407-3474-42c3-83ad-2c7f4edeef73_596x694.jpeg\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"image2-inset\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" \/><img src width=\"596\" height=\"694\" data-attrs=\"{\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>There\u2019s an obvious answer to all these questions.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re not a groomer because you\u2019re gay or trans. You\u2019re not a groomer just because you\u2019re liberal. You\u2019re not a groomer just because you\u2019re a parent who takes your kid to see a drag queen (although you are a bad parent). However, there are more than a few sick people on the Left that are very interested in sexualizing kids and there are lots of liberals that are either sympathetic to them or that are willing to go along with them just because it\u2019s trendy and it pisses off conservatives. In other words, there are groomers and plenty of groomer enablers who seem almost indistinguishable from them on the Left.<\/p>\n<p>The reality is that avoiding being a groomer isn\u2019t exactly a high bar. Don\u2019t try to have sex with kids, show them pornography, watch child porn, try to confuse them about their gender, or expose them to drag queens. If that seems like too much to ask, then well, it\u2019s probably because you\u2019re a groomer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"button-wrapper\" data-attrs=\"{\" url><a class=\"button primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.culturcidal.com\/subscribe?&#038;gift=true\" rel=\"\"><span>Give a gift subscription<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"button-wrapper\" data-attrs=\"{\" url><a class=\"button primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.culturcidal.com\/p\/lets-define-what-a-groomer-is?utm_source=substack&#038;utm_medium=email&#038;utm_content=share&#038;action=share\" rel=\"\"><span>Share<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"button-wrapper\" data-attrs=\"{\" url><a class=\"button primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.culturcidal.com\/p\/lets-define-what-a-groomer-is\/comments\" rel=\"\"><span>Leave a comment<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"button-wrapper\" data-attrs=\"{\" url><a class=\"button primary\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3PucG0g\" rel=\"\"><span>101 Things All Young Adults Should Know<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s both ironic and hilarious to see liberals get so upset about being called \u201cgroomers\u201d when they commonly accuse people of being racists, terrorists, white supremacists, fascists, and Nazis simply<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1776539,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[547],"tags":[9357,5458,9358,9359,4475,7640,3819],"class_list":["post-1776536","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-bongino-report","tag-groomer","tag-bongino","tag-define","tag-hawkins","tag-john","tag-lets","tag-report"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1776536","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1776536"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1776536\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1776539"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1776536"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1776536"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1776536"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
