The Groomer Hypothesis is not controversial and in fact is pretty obvious

We have a pretty firm television policy for our four children: No movies or TV shows made after 2000. This is not strictly ironclad, we’ll review certain things and let them watch if it passes the smell test, but in general it seems like the turn of the century was the point when kid’s media began a pretty rapid shift to LGBT propaganda. And we don’t want that for them. We certainly don’t want to normalize the dangerous, destructive ideology of transgenderism, which is inducing thousands of children to want to mutilate themselves and take poisonous synthetic cross-sex hormones; we also don’t want to normalize what at this point seems like the more quotidian “normal” sexual pathologies like homosexuality, such as the single-sex “marriage” depicted in the long-running PBS cartoon Arthur, pictured above. I wrote a while ago that nobody really knows what homosexuality is and nobody wants to talk about that, but children’s media creators certainly seem to want to impress it upon children at scale. That’s pretty weird and creepy.

In any case, it’s obvious that this kind of media scrutiny is looked upon broadly as an overreaction, not just by the Left but by most of the Right as well. If you are a progressive it might surprise you to know that most nominally conservative families—not all of them, but most of them—pretty much don’t care if you propagandize their kids with your weird sex stuff. Visit the average conservative family home and what will you see? Children with mobile devices, on them all the time, consuming a nonstop stream of cartoons from Netflix, from Hulu, from YouTube, from Amazon. Many if not most conservative parents really don’t seem to care if their kids watch this stuff all the time, even as many of these cartoons will feature implicit or explicit references to the LGBT lifestyle. The popular Netflix show “Twelve Forever” features a 12-year-old girl “coming to terms with her sexuality.” That is correct: A mainstream streaming platform is hosting a show about a 12-year-old girl’s “sexuality.” Very very creepy stuff being made by grown adults. Another popular show, “Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts,” features an openly gay teenage character; Netflix says this show is suitable for ages seven and up. The Netflix show “Pinky Malinky” includes one character who has “three dads,” i.e., three men in a “polyamorous” relationship. Gross. This is all right out there in the open.

But, yes, strict oversight of your children’s media consumption is a pretty rare thing, even by the conservatives who are most likely to complain about children being “groomed” by this zeitgeist. Spoiler alert: Many parents are very lazy and don’t really care if their kids are shaped and formed by garbage entertainment. They say things like: “You can’t police what kids are going to watch, they’re just going to find a way to watch it anyway.” I dunno, maybe handing your kid a pocket-sized supercomputer and then never even attempting to monitor what he’s doing on it is kinda a defeatist approach to the whole thing. Maybe you’re a weak parent and you need to man up. Call me nuts.

The important point is this: The grooming is most assuredly happening. Of course it is! There’s nothing complicated here; there’s no need for any weird conspiracy theories or grand overarching plot hypothesization. Here are the bare, obvious facts: The entertainment industry, and in particular the children’s entertainment industry, is greatly populated by people who are really hardcore about LGBT ideology. That’s it. It’s not crazy. It’s not rocket science. If the people making kid’s shows today were overwhelmingly Nazis, say, or diehard vegans, or flat-earthers, you could reasonably anticipate that a lot of those beliefs would bleed through into the stuff your children are watching. Why should it be any less predictable when the content creators are all pretty fully in the tank on the gay stuff?

The same goes for, say, the teaching profession; teachers tend to be overwhelmingly progressive, and at present progressives tend to be obsessed with and manic about LGBT ideology. Of course it’s going to show up in the curriculums and the lessons and the classroom discussions. Does anyone have a reasonable objection to this?

I suppose the only meaningful counter-argument here is that, while kid’s shows and kid’s environments are increasingly oriented toward LGBT ideology, it’s not “grooming” insofar as LGBT lifestyles should be treated just like heterosexuality and it shouldn’t be controversial when we discuss them. Well, you do you. I guess if you think it’s acceptable to use children’s media to talk about the budding sexuality of pubescent girls and depict the weird gang-bang relationship of three men who are raising a kid together, well, you’re really not going to have much trouble with that sort of message. But at least don’t deny that [a] this is happening, [b] it’s pretty pervasive, and [c] the parents who don’t want their kids exposed to that sort of thing are behaving rationally by not letting their kids consume modern media. But don’t worry, we’re a very strict minority. The vast majority of parents are still more than willing to let their children be catechized by this stuff. The LGBT-to-children pipeline is still open and flowing and it doesn’t look like it’s going to be closed for a very long time.
