what you did just now is called whataboutism. there is no number of child rapes by catholic priests that would influence the acceptability for a child to be admitted to an upside down leopard thong show. we cannot just claim that someone else did something worse than what we did, and that it somehow makes what we did okay. it’s also problematic because it presents a false choice. we do not have to be both against children being admitted to see men dry humping each other dressed as santa’s reindeer and in favor of children being raped by catholic priests.
