But, as I’ve said elsewhere in this thread, your argument hinges solely on how you personally interpret the title of this meme. All it says is that one group definitely hurt kids. That’s simply factual. What you then did was assume the meme was saying ‘the number of drag artists that have hurt kids is zero’ and it doesn’t make any such claim at all. It simply states one group has definitely hurt children.

When does a number of individuals become ‘a group’ I guess is the question. Maybe (and I fully accept this is solely my opinion) the meme is suggesting that as the number of kid hurting drag artists, although a non-zero number, is so very low it’s hard to even class them as a group. When the word ‘group’ is used by the ultra conservatives and xtians it seems to me that what they’re attempting is try and make out there’s enough offending individuals to justify referring to them as a group in a way that makes them representative of the whole.

One of the people in one of your links for example - they offended in 2008 then later became a drag artist. Is that person really a pedo drag artist? Or are they a pedo who’s realised that with the advent of drag artists reading stories to kids, becoming a drag artist was a good way to get access to kids, in the same way some pedos become teachers etc? We don’t say teachers, as a group, are inherently pedo’s or that pedo teachers are representative of teachers so why do it with drag artists?
