Is the word “groomer” now banned?

So now we aren’t allowed to use the word “groomer” since it hurts some people’s feelings. Supposedly it violates some rule about accusations of being a pedo.

It’s not quite the same thing. Grooming is teaching kids about homosexuality, transgenderism, telling kids they can “change genders” or be “non-binary” and such. It’s not actually molesting kids.

So how does this violate any rules we have?
If someone supports pro-grooming laws and ideas, or opposes anti-grooming laws, then they should qualify as being pro-grooming or as a groomer

What is an official stance on this?

Odd that some of us can literally be called a Nazi or a racist, but we can’t call someone a groomer.
Cut the bullshit.

Groomer is not banned so stop whining. A simple search would show you many groomer references left alone. But that would require some honesty on your part. If call another poster a groomer, you are defacto calling tbem a pedo, and don't be coy. Your games are pretty transperent.

Got an issue? PM a mod.

The "context" that some of you denied here IS important. The pedo-beasty-family prohibitions are about PERSONAL interactions WITH MEMBERS, not in general. We care less if the allegation is about a person or group that's in the news or in the public record.

A member that might support what YOU consider grooming may not be called "a pedo nor groomer". Because the issues are complex, and the solution is DISCUSSION, not slinging these "nuclear" words. Words like "racist" or groomer actually lose their power when they are over-used.

For instance, the falsely named "Dont Say Gay" bill only bans sexual/gender orientation in K-3rd grade. If a person doesn't KNOW that or wont admit it -- they are not supporting "grooming". But if they actively ADVOCATE for 30 hours of LGBTQ orientation, like what was/is being done in several large school districts for 5 to 9 yr olds without parental permission -- they just MIGHT qualify for that term. In that case, where they've advocated such a position -- it's moderator discretion whether it's justified. IMO -- The decision would partly depend on whether the defense of that position involves science, medical facts, etc or whether it's argued from simple emotion, activist rhetoric, or opposition to parental rights.

What are we supposed to do with those who openly, unabashedly advocate behavior which clearly constitutes sexual abuse of children?

Something is seriously fucked up, when participants on this forum are allowed to advocate pedophilia, but sane people are not allowed to call them out on it.

Use adult words and DESTROY their reasoning for supporting crap like that?? Maybe too much to expect on USMB?

Thank you for that. It isn’t against any rules to refer to groomers, call events grooming or other people groomers but call a member groomer is no different than calling them a pedo.
