What if men dressed as Bluey characters held storytime events in libraries. Would that be ok?

Yeah probably, there are a lot of posters and mods on here who emotionally progressive and anti the society they live.
But that's a discussion for another day.

Do you actually retain anything I’ve posted ?
I’ve already commented on a similar thing regarding Super Heroes
Read back
I’m done repeating myself because you’re lazy
That was the point though. Bluey drives home the point that everyone deserves a go at having fun and nobody should be excluded from that fun. Being kind-hearted wins the day, not shoving people away in disgust.
It's a woke lesson for sure, but it rings true. Even for adults.
I don't disagree with that, but I doubt kindy kids are going to be interested in virtue signalling and nor should it be stealthily used in platforms like Bluey, I don't think that's the intent though.
Kids of formative need to learn about what's dangerous to them like traffic and things that cut and burn them etc. and fun things like lego and playing in the yard etc. Y'know, kids stuff.
Primary school age, most definitely but not toddlers or kindy kids.

I'm trying to establish the wearabouts of the line you won't cross.
What age rating would you put on Bugs Bunny cartoons?
That's hardly virtue signalling for a certain minority group (drag queens) by using an entertainment platform that's designed to be entertainment for kids, that's just being kind to others. Human kind has been teaching 'be kind to others' since year dot.
Nothing wrong with that at all.
Yeah that's not a surprise.

Sir, this is a Society, Religion and Politics forum.
Yeah... and it follows that kindness is blind to 'difference' doesn't it? Drag queens are certainly 'different' but why push them away? Are they not just another facet of humanity? Show a child a person of different ethnicity, a drag queen, an old person, a disabled person and anyone else with a 'difference' from a young age and odds are that child is going to grow up with a balanced view on societal inclusion.
Parental prejudices not withstanding, of course!
Yeah primary aged kids, not kids that won't know or won't care, and should really be focusing their young brains on things that are appropriate for them. Toys, playing in the playground and all things toddler.
Ummm yes, parents of various stripes expose their children to adult concepts all the time. Personally I'd say raising kids to worship guns is far more problematic than them knowing drag queens exist, just as one example. Others obviously don't.
Its totally subjective.
Mask is slipping a little here mate.
Probably not, which is kinda the point - imo its not about advocating/virtue signalling specifically. Just about giving kids some exposure to different types of people who actually do exist in the world, so that maybe their attitude is a bit different down the track than it otherwise might be.
edit:
Yep this says it better than I did.
This is another example of completely inappropriate, and as I stated earlier is a consequence of the free society we live in.'Ummm yes, parents of various stripes expose their children to adult concepts all the time. Personally I'd say raising kids to worship guns is far more problematic than them knowing drag queens exist, just as one example. Others obviously don't.
Its totally subjective.
This example is the exception and not the rule, if it were the rule our society would be much much worse, everyone would be in survival mode, anarchic.
We can't police away the idiots because that'd be illiberal and inconsistent, and it doesn't excuse virtue signalling political correctness or virtue signal self centred right minded worldviews to kindy kids (or anyone for that matter).
In short two wrongs don't make a right.
As I've repeatedly stated, exposure of adult concepts is kinda futile to toddler kids, primary aged kids are a different kettle of fish and inclusivity / tolerance should definitely be educated / encouraged.
I've also repeatedly stated, I seriously doubt dqst is being used in bad faith by stealth to virtue signal to kindy kids.
No, just an example of what you and I consider completely inappropriate, millions in the US think otherwise. Subjective.
At the end of the day drag queens aren't illegal and neither are guns.
In the US? Not sure about that, millions are into it as I said.
If it is the exception then so too is DQST - what % of the population would be attending these events do you think? Pretty confident it would be less than the % who worship guns.
Yeah millions does not equate to the rule in the US as the population is 100's of millions. Even then using the US as an example is not really the considered norm of a liberal society, coz it's fractured and divided between noisy minority groups on both sides of the political aisle.
dqst is definitely not the rule, it's not like every kindy has full time drag queens who clock on and off and their job is read kids books to toddlers.
Seems you're assuming that if dqst were the 'norm' I would view that as a negative. Not sure why.
What I would view as a negative is using such a platform to virtue signal, again I don't think that is the intent though. I have no issue with dqst.

dqst ? Department of Quantum Science & Technology ? That's at Sydney Uni.
As long as these kids are trained how to use firearms properly and how to store them safelyUmmm yes, parents of various stripes expose their children to adult concepts all the time. Personally I'd say raising kids to worship guns is far more problematic than them knowing drag queens exist, just as one example. Others obviously don't.

Yeah looking at US gun laws, ownership, psychology from an Australian/British standpoint is pretty lazy.
Ffs the only reason we don’t have a 2nd amendment is because of our English masters.
Fair enough it’s a dangerous pastime but so is trekking in the outback. If you’re trained then all good. If not then accidents are definitely gonna happen.

We don't exactly have an epidemic of school trekkings in Australia...Fair enough it’s a dangerous pastime but so is trekking in the outback. If you’re trained then all good. If not then accidents are definitely gonna happen.
