See this? This is the trap. This is how they get you. You appeal to outrage and emotion, you make a bold statement like “sex offenders don’t have rights” and whip up that righteous anger, get people all thirsty for blood and punishment, right? And that’s their foot in the door. Once you’ve decided that there’s a class of people it’s okay to do this to, there’s no clean line in the sand anymore, is there? Now chemical castration (or whatever fucked up shit you wanna bring into it) is an option on the table.
This is how fascists talk, this is how fascists think, and this is how fascists appeal to you to get what they want. Because once you’ve given them that inch, they can use it to take a mile.
Alan Turing (as in the Turing test) was chemically castrated following a conviction for “homosexual acts” in 1952. He committed suicide as a result.
He was also specifically charged because the court found his relationship with a 19-year-old to be especially “indecent” despite such relationships being legal between heterosexuals, so don’t try to say “oh, I only feel that way about pedophiles and creeps.” They will find a way to make you into a criminal, I promise.
and what’s stopping them from claiming you’re part of the Evil Group of People Who Shouldn’t Have Rights?
