Ryan Vaughn7 said:Going off-topic is when you and some lady spend five pages trying to outsmart each other over whether a noun refers to gender or sex in a dictionary. And since clearly neither of you knows when to quit, I guess I’ll be the one to step in. I’ve said what this thread is about a hundred times already, and I’m not going to repeat myself every single time someone gets salty because their post was deleted. If you don't have anything actual to say about the topic, just say the word and I'll shut this down.

So, if I say a reproductive organ is a sexual organ, and then someone comes along—someone who constantly derails the discussion, completely misinterprets every single argument, and starts acting like I'm an idiot because I supposedly don't get that "gender" means every organ we're born with... after I've already shown her she's wrong a dozen times, and after I've pointed out how these organs were referred to historically, maybe even by old folks today... well, it's on you as a moderator to finally tell her to stop trolling. I mean, how dense do you have to be to not realize there's nothing "socially constructed" about birth!? To me, she's just a straight-up troll. Instead of limiting her ability to drag out proofs of obvious facts, you just delete everything—and of course, you leave her latest nonsense standing. Why did you wipe my proof that a reproductive organ is a sexual organ, but leave her vague posts where she attacks me and claims I have no clue? It makes it look to everyone reading that she was right, simply because nobody can counter her since those posts are gone. Either you don't get what kind of debate this is, or you just don't care. Besides, she was posting at light speed, making it impossible to follow, and it wasn't just the two of us "outsmarting" each other. There were 5 or 6 other forum members trying to explain how ridiculous her stance is—a stance that is actually being pushed into our American SCHOOLS through the Department of Education curriculum for 3rd or 4th grade (see the opening post)!

Just like any other ideology, this gender stuff has zero scientific basis. It's tucked into health class, promoted by the government, and that's what needs to be written about. It's all just a result of twisting facts, hijacking old definitions, forcing new meanings onto words, ignoring etymology, and a whole bunch of other nonsense.

This whole mess regarding gender ideology stems from people not knowing the difference between gender and sex. I mean, you can't talk about gender roles, gendered terms, or even things like "gender relations" if you don't understand what the root word even means. So, shouldn't we agree on what we're actually talking about first?

So, apparently one of the mods thinks—and still thinks—that talking about gender indoctrination is off-topic. Look, if the whole subject is "sex education," but they’re using it to push this fake distinction between sex and gender—which, let me be clear, is just pure gender ideology—then discussing that messed-up part of the curriculum is totally "on-topic." On one side, you've got these proponents of this kind of education who just LIE about everything regarding sex and gender just to justify their own agendas. On the other side, you have us forum users actually trying to stand up for truth and common sense while debating what’s actually being taught in these school classes. What exactly is "off-topic" about that? I mean, twisting the definitions of gender and sex might honestly be the biggest issue with this entire curriculum.

What are we supposed to do? Just scream unhinged nonsense like "Sex ed is garbage!" or "Sex ed is great!" or "There is a difference between gender and sex!" versus "No there isn't!"? Like, seriously, what do you moderators think we should even be talking about here if not the actual content of the curriculum and how it's being forced on kids? The topic is huge, obviously, but it's what it is. There's nothing else to do.

I really think it would be pretty smart to just restore those deleted threads.

Who on earth deleted EVERY single post from the last two or three pages on the sex education thread and why?

Nobody was insulting anyone, there wasn't any off-topic nonsense, and nobody was trolling! What is even going on here?

Seriously, why is it such constant torture having to deal with these mods and their total power trips in this sex ed thread?

Ryan Vaughn7 said:What kind of censorship is this, for crying out loud?

censorship is censorship—it's when people start policing free speech and deleting posts... you see it everywhere in the news and all over the internet.

Ryan Vaughn7 said:Over the last week, nobody has even mentioned the curriculum, the lesson plans, how classes are actually running... nothing. It’s just constant trolling and people going off-topic.

So why don't you just shut down those trolls immediately (and I don't mean the ones you're thinking of), the ones who grab onto one tiny part of a sentence just to derail everything into off-topic nonsense? How are you supposed to defend against that, or respond without blowing the whole thread wide open?

I mean, if the topic is a carrot cake, does that mean we aren't allowed to talk about the parsley garnish, or the vitamins and minerals found in the carrots? By your logic, that would also be "off-topic" since the subject is the cake, not the parsley vitamins.

I honestly don't get how we're supposed to discuss the curriculum without mentioning the people who wrote it, or maybe citing references that prove it's just unscientific idiocy. By strictly separating topics, you're basically tying our hands. And now you're defending spammers who can't provide a single shred of proof that there's any science behind this curriculum. I've asked twenty times for actual evidence so we could have an argumentative discussion. But no, I just get laughed at, my posts get twisted, and I never get an answer. Their only mantra is that implementing this stuff in schools is "good for society" and for the kids who won't make it in life without it.
Who is actually trolling here? Let some neutral people decide (if anyone even exists given how important this is).

I was wondering if we could actually start a thread on the politics subforum about the censorship going on lately? It’s getting completely out of hand in the media, and honestly, it feels like the same thing is happening right here on this forum.

Charles Fox10 said:As if we don't have enough to deal with regarding Sex Ed, now we need yet another one of these topics...

Wait, where even is this Sex Ed topic?🤷

hiddenlynx66 said:Look, this kind of stuff isn't really about politics. It belongs in some conspiracy corner of the forum. If we're actually going to talk about pedophilia as a real issue, then all this theorizing about some massive global conspiracy is just going to troll the thread.

Where exactly did you see a conspiracy theory? Maybe back it up a bit so I can see how you totally missed my point. Honestly, you might want to take this back to the main thread so we don't clutter things up here.

Larry Walker24 said:Oh yeah, why don't we just open a whole separate sub-forum dedicated to pedophilia?!

Honestly, considering how many proven pedophiles are running around in politics, entertainment, science... maybe the idea isn't even that bad.

Pedophilia is such a massive, burning issue right now because it feels like they’re actively trying to decriminalize it. I mean, politics plays such a huge role in this—they basically approve everything and fail to protect kids from sexual content, instead pushing to sexualize them through the education system.

The registry is just one more distraction, I guess. It was probably introduced right now just to throw sand in everyone's eyes and hide the obvious truth: that teaching little kids about sex is essentially just a pedophilic construct.

If James Patel20 can't get his own separate PDF thread like Larry Walker24 suggested, then the least we can do is move this conversation back to politics. Because, let's be real, politics is the main reason this societal sickness isn't being stopped.

Andrew King29 said:You want to know why I’m pretty sure they’re censoring me? It’s because of what happened with that thread I started over on Alternative:
View on reddit

The moderator over at Alternative decided that having a super intense, unconventional take on reality just didn't fit his section of the site, so he worked with the NS moderators to move the whole discussion over to their board. Then those guys decided to just lock the entire thing down indefinitely while they "figure out" what to do next. And honestly, they're still sitting there "figuring it out" to this day...

It seems like the NS moderators won't touch anything coming from Alternative, even if it's some fresh, actually interesting scientific stuff.

Especially if it starts questioning their whole inquisitor-style mainstream approach... 🙂🙂

Don't just start new threads when there are already active discussions going on just because you want to be the first one to post.

What kind of half-baked conclusion is that? 🤣

Look, rezonator, you can't just stick to your own little bubble and your own worldview. You actually have to listen to other people!

By the way, what is even the point of having moderators and supermoderators on these forums anyway?

Is their job to just swoop in within minutes to elegantly delete and lock a thread, or should they actually take three seconds to merge it with an existing discussion since they're supposed to be reading and knowing what's already posted?

Honestly, this is exactly why the reputation of the mods on this forum is so incredibly low.

Daniel Ward87 said:Your thread was deleted, but it wasn't because of censorship. The point you were making is fine, but under both Politics and Economics, there are already several threads that cover what you brought up, more or less. If you want, feel free to jump into one of those discussions with your views, but there’s no reason to make a whole separate thread out of it.

Then why the hell was it deleted if it wasn't censorship?

If that's really not it, then tell me—why didn't you just link that deleted thread to one of those "other" existing ones so the post could actually stay alive?
