Don't give the GQP any ideas! |
It is literally a copy of Plato’s Symposium. Figures that dumb MAGA wouldn’t know that. |
Laughing at the idea of a MAGA knowing anything at all about Plato!!! |
hey that's not fair, they loved eating plato as kids |
BWAHAAHAA!! |
MAGA whataboutism. It’s all they have. |
DP. Seriously? A simple google search is really easy to do. |
"Freaks"? You're the one defending images of pedophilia. DP |
| To be honest I care less if these books are banned. I see no loss there. |
IKR, please show me Ancient Greek exhibits at a museum where there are depictions of sexual activity involving underaged. Yeah, ancient art has some depictions of sexual activity, like Kamasutra, for example, but this involves adults, and isn't something sold to children or available at school libraries. |
There's a ton of Greek art depicting pederasty. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f3/Pederastic_courtship_Louvre_CA3096_n2.jpg This is in the Louvre, for example. That's not a picture of two adults. |
No, Gender Queer has no such drawing and, contrary to what another pp said, Gender Queer has no similarity to any Platonic Dialogue. I wish it had similarities to Plato because I found Gender Queer to be unimpressive. I ordered two copies because I encourage my teenage DS to read anything that’s banned. But after reading Gender Queer, I told DS he could read it if he wanted but there are much better books with which to occupy his time. |

I’m a conservative and against censorship of this kind. But if bookstores and libraries are stocking books like Gender Queer on the shelves, I also think they should make available the following titles:
“Irreversible Damage” by Abigail Shrier “When Harry Became Sally” by Ryan T. Anderson “The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self” by Carl Trueman Put all the information out there. |
Yes, it does. Stop gaslighting. Sexual imagery A controversial illustration in Gender Queer is based on this piece of red-figure pottery attributed to the Brygos Painter. Gender Queer includes a handful of sexually explicit illustrations which have been used to argue that the book is inappropriate for schoolchildren. In one commonly cited panel, a 14-year-old Kobabe fantasizes about a scene in which an older man touches the penis of a youth. The illustration is based on a piece of painted ancient Greek pottery depicting a "courting scene".[21][2] Detractors have described this as a depiction of pedophilia.[22][23] |
