The right's gleeful cruelty to 17-year-old Gus Walz says it all.

    MAGA doesn’t care. They were fine with Trump making fun of someone with CP in 2016, and they’re fine with this.

      …does CP mean what I think it does? Because someone who has that stuff doesn’t need to be defended. They need to be jailed.

          I would have never guessed that. Cp and dp have very specific abbriviations on the internet. Its all I see when I see those abbriviations.

            That’s one of the reasons CSAM is taking over for that.

              What is CSAM, and do I even want to know?

                Stands for something like child sexual abuse material iirc. It’s a more formal term for child porn, the kind you’d see in like Facebook moderator job descriptions or court filings against accused sex offenders

                CP wasn’t comfortable with itself, so it prefers to identify as CSAM.

        Ambiguous acronyms aren’t exactly a new phenomenon. A single google search for “trump making fun of someone with cp 2016” turned up plenty of results clarifying what it means in this case.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
