        These always remind me of like 30ish years ago id take my sisters barbie coloring books and do 10yr old gross and mature young boy “humors” bubbles who woulda thunk this would eventually become a staple of memes over the years. I got in shit something about Skipper making pancakes and Kens bubble saying something like “those flapjacks are always as flat as yours!” Yeah I got pretty cuffed by my grandmother. Well deserved.

    All the news keeps talking about her vaping as though that’s the main problem here. Maybe don’t engage in sexual activities in public. Like, actual sexual activities such as fondling genitals. Not conservatives’ idea of sexual activities, which involves wearing skirts and makeup.

        She was caught on camera fondling a guy in the theater. It probably would have gone unnoticed if she hadn’t called attention to herself by disrupting the show, vaping, and then denying that she was vaping.

      The main problem is that people in Colorado voted for her. Vaping is harmful and it’s a problem for her apparently and could potentially influence others. The pda stuff is icky but more of a social norms issue - so yeah, it’s next on the list. I’m still just utterly repulsed by the main problem though.

          Like there weren’t warning signs before? She was even re-elected. Colorado is getting what they asked for with this idiot, and yeah, I kind of feel like they deserve it. The most foolish are the ones that didn’t even vote. I hate bad politicians, but if she betrayed your expectations you’re just not even remotely paying attention. Voters need to bear some of the responsibility for their own mistakes.

                Can I get a video? Just for research… gross research. We’ve all probably acted a fool when younger but as an adult in a mixed environment you shouldn’t need to told to keep tits covered and not to touch genitals. That’s how you end up on a list.

                  True without question or dispute! But the fact that it happened doesn’t surprise or really outrage me at all. I hope it doesn’t seem like I’m excusing it. Someone in her position should not be doing things like this in public no matter how discrete they may have been.

                  But I’ve also worked in movie theaters, so I know for certain this is not uncommon behavior. Every person who works at a theater rotates between jobs, one of which is a theater checker. You’ve probably seen them come in sometimes with flashlights. And yeah…Forgot where I was going with that but I think you get it.

        fondled in a theatre full of children.

        Let’s not stoop to their (the right/GOP) level with the misinformation. While there may have been children present in the theater, most of the people there were adults.

        There’s plenty enough wrong with what they were doing without trying to demonize them with additional lies.

          “Full of kids” doesn’t mean all of them need to be kids.

          Even 1 kid in the theatre is enough to not do sexual acts around. But even according to you there were a tons since only “most of the people were adults”.

          Especially if she thinks people in drag are sexualising kids. Since that makes her a hypocrite.

            Man, even if there were no kids there, that’s still not the place to do it. I’d have been there to see Beetlejuice, not to see the “beetle” get juiced.

          Do the semantics matter? It’s a public theater regardless.

          You can’t demonize more if the situation is already bad. If you want a full sentence, then “fondled in a theater full of children and adults” which is equally as bad.

      You joke, but the gay/trans conversion “therapy” industry, which people like these no doubt support, is rife with cases of sexual abuse against children and teens. The stories from victims are honestly nauseating.

        You know those horror stories about kids being tricked or kidnapped and put in some twisted social experiment? That actually happened. Normally I’d say fuck the rich but in this case it would be in more than just bad taste; in the southern states there was a “school” where rich families were “sending” their kids to. Why? Some were spoiled brats that were making their family name look bad to their rich parents’ rich friends, others were “too soft” and the bastard and bitch who raised them wanted to “toughen them up”.

        The place was straight out of something like those edgy novels that teenagers read but, well, real. There was emotional and social manipulation up to and including gas lighting, they drugged the kids to keep them from escaping, and yes, there was rape. If the place had been discovered recently rather than being shut down years ago, I would be demanding some level of legal autonomy for children because it’s gotten to the point where kids can’t trust anyone to protect them from forced confinement and cruelty.

        I would know, I was illegally taken from my family at age 10 by government officials and it took my parents two years of fighting in court to get me back. There’s a difference between grounding a kid or preventing them from going to a cherished event because they screwed up, and being cruel because you can get away with it or being homophobic towards someone who depends on you for survival.

          Or, this is our best universe and the rest just get even shittier. That’s my rainbow and unicorn fantasy / no kink shaming pls.

          Or, what if hell is simply consciousness during all the shitty outcomes: the teacher runs out candy when it’s your turn, the bus drives off just when you show up, etc.

          It would mean as we approach the hellspawn timeline, each one of us made it into the angel timeline too.

          Odds are very high we only have one universe because multiple dimensions can be reduced via transformation, but it is progressively more difficult to transform from a lower dimension to a higher dimension: that straight 2d line is probably a straight 2d line in 3d and 4d space.

      They’re in politics as a sock puppet to serve other wealthy people’s interests not because they have great ideas for improving the lives and wellbeing of people.

      If you killed political donations, cushy job prospects post politics and the crazy idea that corporations are somehow people deserving of representation it might go a long way to purging these cookers from the system.

    I saw this show on Broadway and would not classify it as family friendly or aimed at kids. 90s cartoons were more subtle in their cussing and sexual comments. Fantastic show I would recommend again and again.
