    This is a crucial point. Pizzagate/QAnon gained traction because more mainstream sex trafficking discourse. Moral panics and conspiracy theories need some mainstream buy-in and seedbed to really spread quickly.https://twitter.com/melissagira/status/1509527898830647297 …

    The “groomer” moral panic of 2022 has been like a sick flashback to nearly identical anti-sex worker rights/anti-trans rights feminists’ attacks—not to say that “TERFS and SWERFS” are QAnon, but that they have been brewing in the same pot

        Alex Jones figured out the base of the party long ago. The rest are playing catch up.

        But it's funny how close they might be to some truth but the focus ends up on more ludacrious claims than more realistic sounding claims see:pic.twitter.com/CnuybqHfsz

        Similarly, the McMartin Preschool in Manhattan Beach, CA, was devastated by pro-child zealots and hysterical journalists.

        this is just the same old sexual panic in a new guise, instead of witches going after toddlers it's trans people or whatever

        You can add the “satanic panic”. The most famous of which is the Kern county case. Have real worries there’s going to be some QANON adjacent cases that are similar to the Kern case with Trump friendly DAs and/ or judges involved soon.

        Feels like this is odd framing since it’s literally just the flashback to what was a common framing against gays in the 90s.

        LGBT youth who are rejected for who they are are at an increased risk of exploitation. So quite the opposite of what the backers say, this bill is MORE likely to "groom" children and young adults for exploitation. https://theexodusroad.com/lgbtq-youth-at-risk-for-sex-trafficking/ …pic.twitter.com/Z9M87Ftwlp

        It's been fascinating watching disruptions, clearly caused by radical moves within our institutions, blamed on the reactions to those moves. It's already getting old though.
