[News] Post a D&D Picture

Previous incarnations of Cleveland/P&C/D&D have had an image thread, to handle political cartoons and other image-based stuff that doesn't belong in the general post-a-picture threads.

If any of them spawn an extended discussion, please spawn it off into its own thread. Replies to non-picture replies should take the form of a link pointing to a post on a different discussion thread.

And I shouldn't have to say it, but the images still need to abide by the rules.

I think you leave a 13 year old alone, no matter whose daughter they are, is the point. Her dad is f*ckface Ted Cruz - poor kid's life is tough enough already.

I don't get this one. If she came out voluntarily, than it can be reported right? Or did LGBTQNation out her before she was ready?

I think Brianna is right in that - there is zero public interest in this. Thousands of teens come out in our nation every day. They are talking about this one because of the political angle of her father.

She posted a TikTok where she said complained about her dad and accused him of Photoshopping their family Christmas picture to make her appear to wear a more modest outfit. The post went viral and then she changed her TikTok profile to include "bi" and confirmed it the comments when someone asked if her dad knew.

You leave the kid alone, but you grill the f*ck out of Cruz and make him explain in endless detail his longstanding anti-LGBT political positions and acknowledge the damage they have done to millions of teens who aren't his daughter.

OG got it right, even if the girl is just getting back at Dad. The gelatinous monster whom has no spine has done so much damage. Leave her alone and poke that gelatinous monster whom has no spine until he changes his plans like when he packed a bag to drop his kids off in Mexico like any normal person does as they abandon stranded constituents.

There's an argument to say that if it's on TikTok, it's fair game.

Don't want the news to report on you - maybe don't be yelling from the internet rooftops?

For people over 30 who are capable of making informed decisions, sure. Not for a 13 year old.

It is that word "news" What does that mean? How is it something that makes decisions I can make in my day to day life more informed? How can it make it so the decisions I make are better?

It means something media companies can use to get people to click on their headlines or stay through the commercials for the next segment of their show.

No no no.

First, f*ck Ted Cruz

Second, he used his daughter for political cover. Just last Feb when he ran off to Cancun for the weekend while his constituents were freezing to death with no electricity, he blamed it on his kids. Oh they just wanted to go to the beach.

He made his family part of politics. Can't say they are off limits now.

HE made his family part of politics. SHE didn't. She didn't shout it from the rooftops or make it into a huge announcement. She didn't make a tiktok where she came out as bi, she updated her profile and confirmed it when someone asked about it in the comments of one where she was just complaining about her dad. She also said she hadn't come out to them yet and was nervous about telling them, though she didn't think he'd be mad.
And remember it's not Cruz claiming she's off limits, it's the rest of us. Mining a child's social media for dirt about their parents is skeevy as f*ck, and publicly outing her without okaying it with her first is even worse.

Yeah, I'm of the "he shouldn't have politicized his family." but "us continuing to politicize his family, especially a 13 yo at a vulnerable moment, is worse or at best adding fuel to the fire."

A 13 yo's sexuality should not be news.

I'm honestly rather distressed that we even have to have this discussion. I'm all in favor of playing hardball when the opposition takes the gloves off, but even then, kids themselves should be off-limits.

But insults to their mother are fine

She didn't wanna get insulted, shouldn'ta married the Zodiac Killer's son.

I thought it was the son of Kennedy's killer?

Right, he IS the Zodiac Killer, and the son of the Kennedy assassin.

My sincerest apologies for accidentally slandering Ted Cruz.

f*ck Ted Cruz, but his kids shouldn’t have to suffer any more than they already do just because every familial spat becomes a headline. Blowing up these stories like this makes his kids a target for every lunatic in the country. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s already received death threats.

Every lunatic in the country being the same people who vote for Cruz and his fellow Republicans...

Still doesn't mean that she deserves to be made into a target for them. It's not about them, or him; it's about her.

IT IS THIS.
At no point should a bunch of adult strangers be discussing the sexuality of a child if they are not caretakers or immediate community whose intent is the safety and wellbeing of that child. (Cruz himself doesn't seem particularly concerned with this, though). Couple that with the inherent vulnerability that queerness has in this society, it's even worse. This is nth level creepster douchebaggery and anyone promoting or encouraging this kind of thing for clicks needs to seriously reexamine their internal compass. That source is a clickbait gossip rag that has been tasteless and 'hello, fellow kids" for a while now but this seems particularly tonedeaf.

~ mod ~

People do not want to continue discussing his child's sexuality.

It would not be good for your continued involvement in the D&D forum.

Lets gets some pictures anyway

Right wing memes are like viruses. They inevitably become less dangerous, but more transmissable.

Piss drinking has been a woo alt-medicine thing for while, they’re just returning to the classics. They also bath in it, rinse out their sinuses with it, and age it to make it “more potent.”
