    As with all things regressive, their whole truck is to treat their own viewpoint as a default state, and then try to force everyone else to argue around it, which allows them to steer the discussion and eventual outcome.

    When they’re headed off on one avenue they pivot, but this is the consistent direction of almost all regressive talking points.

      They’re never consistent. If they were, they would demonize overtly sexual content regardless of who it was targeted at. But as it stands they’re fine with books involving straight couples and places like Hooters still exist.
