Disturber of the Peace

The Bowman’s eldest daughter scowls. “Men pay for things with money. Not with souls.” “With souls?” Thranduil asks, even more bewildered than before. “You have some odd ideas about my people. Who has been telling you these things?” An answer occurs to him, an answer that should make him angry, but does nothing so much as sadden him beyond words. “Your father?” “Da never talks about the Fair Folk,” the younger girl says. Thranduil hears footsteps on the stairs, and he prays they belong to the Bowman. “You’re only make-believe.” The footsteps do not herald the Bowman’s arrival – instead, they announce the presence of his son, a boy with the Bowman’s dark hair and eyes set in softer, unfamiliar features. “Da’s tying up the boat,” he says to his sisters. Then he turns, spots Thranduil, and nearly tumbles backwards down the stairs in shock.

"White privilege is such an evil rhetoric. Yeah I guess being born white and being taught I'm better than Black people at the age of 5 is my fault and I'm evil for it. Yeah I guess having a white childhood I never asked for means I'm a danger and I should perpetually apologize for it." -> immediately recognizable as bullshit racists say

"Straight privilege is such an evil rhetoric. Yeah I guess being straight is my fault and I'm evil for it. Yeah I guess having a straight childhood I never asked for means I'm a danger and I should perpetually apologize for it." -> immediately recognizable as bullshit homophobes say

The follow up questions are:

• Do you think this is an isolated incident?

• If it is, how would you know for sure?

(Use the word for what they really are - children - no one wants to admit to being a pedophile and when they realise they are you either stop them or show them for the pedophiles they really are.

The pedophiles will always try to explain away how teenagers and ‘almost-legal’ girls are basically the same as legally aged women. Follow this up with: So if 17 is okay because it’s almost 18 does it follow that 16 is okay because it’s nearly 17 which is basically the same as 18? Then 15 is basically 16… 14 is basically 15… 13… 12… 11… where does the line get drawn if crossing the line is okay? And if crossing the line is okay when it is close enough - then wherever a new line is drawn will it also be okay to cross? Where does it stop? Where is your actual bottom line of what’s okay?

Do you think sex trafficking in porn is an isolated incident? If it is, how would you know for sure? If it’s not, what is the acceptable number of forced and raped women and children you would accept in your porn?
