Is it grooming them to lie or grooming them to have a completely ignorant, even uncurious and uncompassionate view of the world...?
Katie Britt's SOTU response turned out to be much worse than I feared: not merely laughable, but terrifying, one of the most bizarre and insincere performances of propaganda I've ever seen in my life. We need to start talking about how GOP parents like Britt are grooming their kids to lie.
It is a compunction to view the world sporting right wing psychedelic glasses that filter any contrary or opposing views. So you're right.
It's noteworthy how the word "grooming" has been hijacked.
Yes, gross how that verb has been warped to now near-exclusively mean sexual exploitation. Covers other negative ends too (e.g., grooming to make one a liar) plus the oft-forgotten positive connotation (e.g., grooming a talented person to lead) that's hard to use now w/o ppl thinking you misspoke.

www.merriam-webster.comSo many ignorant people. The GQP has been grooming them for decades.
It can't be repeated enough that the freakout over "grooming" by the right wing is pure hypocrisy (and a ploy to smear all LGBTQ+ people).
Sexually harassing or assaulting underage girls? Fine. Talking about gender to children? Grooming
Imagine for a moment there was a rumor that one of the major candidates for president had held parties for young women alongside the most notorious child sex abuser in American history.
Now imagine it's not a rumor and there's video.
Why has that story never stuck to Trump? Why isn't it forced to?
Fudging the line of what is grooming makes it easier (1) to call non grooming behavior grooming and (2) to call grooming behavior non grooming.
Also, note the person posting this claimed there was no insinuation of grooming here. That's what you're defending.
It IS grooming. Like grooming them to be live accordign to some goofy morality fail. Do you know what the word means in this context? Similar to grooming someone for command.
...ones. The concern with them is helping to spread all of it to others instead of completely shedding the hateful parts. Like come up with a book that has those parts removed, then we'll talk about how you're no longer "grooming kids" in that derogatory way that word has been used recently...
So a 16 year old that EpicMynd has been grooming is trying to mass report to defend him
i hope people are taking the time to step back and reflect on how it is that comics, a field dedicated to silly drawings, has been hollowed out into an underworld of abuse, exploitation, bigotry, and grooming.
One could almost say...grooming them.
Every right-wing accusation is a confession

bylinetimes.comThinking of a way to make the case that teachers and professors aren't "grooming" or "brainwashing" students without resorting to the "we can't even get them to read the syllabus!" trope.
Oh I forgot to say that I changed this from grooming to a vet visit because Babi is very sick right now. Tsuki’s grooming will have to wait another day.
I'm no branding expert, but if it's a pet grooming business, you might want to include the word "grooming."
I’m not grooming your kids to make them gay
what I am doing is grooming your gays to make them kids >:3
impossible to overstate how much right-wing culture is built around grooming increasingly helpless suckers
This matters because, as I recently argued, young men who think this shit is real are being trained into being undateable. Which makes them angry and resentful, so that right wing influencers can exploit them even more. It's all grift.

There's serious money in peddling fantasies of female submission online, but it may be exacerbating male loneliness

Opening the weed with a toenail clipper like some kind of stoner MacGyver
Grooming is supposed to be a good thing, like pet grooming etc... What comes after that is usually the bad thing...
Define gaslight and define grooming because grooming is when you intentionally prep a victim for future abuse, grooming is not talking to someone and being nice and supportive while other people make them feel like a shitty person.
The right is always calling us violent grooming pedos who are destroying the world. Why would they want to marry us? I thought a lot of them want us dead or in jail?
More experienced to smell the blood in the water and start manipulating them, grooming them, into whatever view they want because they don’t have a sense of identity. It doesn’t even have to be kids, happens to adults too and it’s really easy to say “well just don’t do that” (5)
Animals who are suspicious of grooming gizmos often take well to 'grooming gloves". Al you have to do is stroke them.
What? You don’t make any fucking sense. Entering military service is T grooming. Telling your kids that Jews stole your land and to throw rocks at them so those kids are of a mind to hate Jews their entire lives is grooming. I find it difficult to even imagine you’re this dense.
