"Drag queens are pedophiles" vs "no they're not"

It's a stupid fucking controversy with one correct side and considering it's LA I'm pretty sure that side has the numbers as well

Never heard of this group before this topic. I couldn't find any specific incident, so I think it is just their aesthetic of dressing as parody versions of catholic nuns/priests and openly mocking Christians/Catholics.

It just seems to be that one group. I looked it up and apparently they dress like nuns.

Which is a much more reasonable reason for a private organization to cut ties with a group than just doing drag.

No sarcasm.

I mean the Dodgers have a huge Latino fanbase which means a lot of Catholics- I can see why they would want to be cautious.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. Nice to spread a good message while completely dunking on other major communities. I agree with the group, but I see why it's a problem.

Found out more about it here
https://www.outsports.com/2023/5/16/23726246/dodgers-pride-night-catholic-league-marco-rubio-sisters-perpetual-indulgence


The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is a 501(c)3 a federally recognized non-profit whose supporters can file their donations to the group as tax write-offs. They brought in about a quarter-million dollars in 2019. Unlike a lot of other charities, none of the officers receive any compensation for their time.


Probably the real reason those assholes hate that organization. They aren't Capitalisming good enough!

As with everything, there has to be some sort of monetary reasoning behind this.

Someone must've threatened to pull sponsorship money or something, because the majority don't even know who this group was prior to this happening.

Sounds like they're just removing one organized group of people, considering all the politics going on, I can't say that I blame them. Makes sense how a sports team would just want to do something for LBGT+ without the radicals.

There's plenty of slutty and demonic nuns in anime. You're sure you wanna go that route?

And in the real world, anime is now mainstream.

Like video games, we're already seeing people call anime "demonic" and succubi nuns and whatnot is going to draw the ire of conservatives (frankly most things do but that's beside the point).

Only targeting drag queens is both a case of football-style targeting and hypocrisy.

You get what I'm sayin'?

If you really want to look like a tough guy, go after a religion where they still throw people off rooftops for being gay. Christians/catholics are an easy target.
