I wasn't going to accuse you of that, but I do think you're a bit naive about the kind of people who would pursue whatever profession it is that gets them consistently close to these kids in a nurturing relationship.

Lol yes "The only people who take any interest in a child other than their biological parents (or at least people who expressed commitment by paying a good sum of money for them) are probably pedophiles" That's not used to close off queer kids from resources or anything

Why are you reading the worst interpretation of what I said? Even in this system in which community professionals raise children, they're still close to the child and in virtually the same position as a parent.

How do you not get that this is like saying a senator is the same thing as an emperor

Even if I were to take that wild supposition on its merits it literally doesn't matter because children do not actually have agency to assign their own caretakers Timmy can't just conscript Phil the Comic Book Shop Owner to be one of his stakeholdershttps://twitter.com/spqtemple02/status/1281873860816764929 …

I'm talking about within the group of individuals who take jobs in these theoretical community childcare centers that put them in proximity to kids consistently. What, you think they won't interact?

Are you saying that a child might like one of his caretakers better than the other, and that the sheer act of their liking this person de facto gives them complete control over the child and irreversibly shuts out every other adult from the decision process

Why do you so completely discount the power of emotional attachment? How many stories of authority figures sexually abusing kids who then keep quiet to protect their abuser do you need?

The majority of such situations do, in fact, involve parents

You seem to be saying multiple things One of them is that no matter what system you create a child will develop a parent-like bond with exactly one authority figure so reform is fruitless (Or two, I guess, everyone needs a mommy and a daddy right)

And, whatever Maybe that's true, but so what The next part is you saying that anyone who seeks out such a relationship should not be trusted Okay, I'm fine with that heuristic too WHY ARE YOU EXEMPTING PARENTS

How the hell is having a kid NOT seeking out such a relationship How is it not the easiest most guaranteed way to have maximum power over a kid
