The rest of her tweets explains why they are crying "DANGER"
So linking basic caring for children with the typical "groomer" bullshit.
I mean, it's better than being so weird that they fuck couches.
See, this is exactly why the whole "weird" shit is a mistake. They're straight up declaring it's "dangerous" to take care of children, and all you can think to contribute is the lie about jd fucking a couch? You really can't be bothered to address the child abuse and fear mongering? Just shitty memes?
The child abuse and fear mongering are things that they're proud of and believe are justified. Trying to address it just makes them feel more powerful.
Calling them "weird" works because their whole ideology is based on them being the normal ones. If you take that away, you also take away their entire (false) claim to authority.
I disagree with the tactic at large, but this wasn't even that. They weren't taking the wind out of the sails of someone defending the claims. They just brought up the couch shit immediately after seeing people talking about the well being of children. People are losing the thread and quickly.
