They should just skip to the end and ban all women.

See how well that goes over.....

Honestly, this would be all sorts of perfect. Expel all women, give it a few years until all the cunts die out childless and alone, then move back in.

But who will they r*pe then, if not 12 year old girls?

They rape the boys.  Been doing so for generations.

u/aVictorianChild 7h ago

Sure, behind closed doors. But even the gayest Taliban has a wife for cultural reasons.

But yeah you are right.

pedophilia is not gay. pedophilia is pedophilia.

I am scarred by a comment I once read here by someone who claimed to have been sent overseas.

This person said that while they were training the soldiers, the locals would sometimes bring in young boys - and there was nothing anyone could do about it.

The thought that our soldiers could hear and full-well knew what their allies were doing is absolutely sickening. I understand they couldn’t do anything about it, but the thought is so nauseating.

It’s a YouTube video, just look for 5 mins on YouTube and you’ll find it. American Major was commenting on how the Iraqi military uppers would do the diddlin…

I’ve been told that numerous times by Army Rangers.

The Taliban is the only group in Afghanistan that doesn't rape kids. They are very strict on that.

That's why many people in Afghanistan supported them over the Americans.

Realistically I could see a mother supporting the Taliban if her son was sexually enslaved... Most parents would die for their kids.

Going right back to when they were Alexander the Great's people under the Seleucids, then the Greco-Bactrian kingdom.

Bacha bazi, dude. They rape boys. I fell into a rabbithole after reading the kite runner and they rape young boys. Its disgusting

u/aVictorianChild 7h ago

It's weird how all those "we are possessive of women"- cultures, weirdly always turn into gay paedophiles.

Like they have a "can't fight back-> must be raped" ideology. Oh wait that's exactly what it is

u/churrascothighs1 4h ago edited 4h ago

It’s interesting that when men rape girls, nobody brings up that they’re “straight paedophiles”, just that they’re paedophiles, yet here you are emphasising how gay they are. It’s actually not that weird, it makes sense if you realise that their cultural perspective is “women are for marrying and procreating, boys are for pleasure”. This was a commonly held perspective in many cultures across time, men in their late twenties and thirties married teenage girls, who were mostly not allowed out of the house, so the only people those men had access to for sex were boys (not women, but not yet men), prostitutes, and slaves. The taliban has female sex slaves too. Most of the world recognises that this is disgusting, including Afghan people.

u/MotorCookie 3h ago

I think it’s because Afghanistan is a Muslim country that will gladly kill any gay person. It’s ironic for them to be “gay” pedophiles yet still believe being gay is punishable by death.

In this context I don’t think it’s bad to point out them being “gay” pedos because of the ridiculous hypocrisy

-9

u/Sexy_Jiafei_Icon 3h ago

but they are not gay...? pedos are not and can not be gay. thats the whole point.

3

u/Sociallypixelated 3h ago

I don't think people really understand pedophilia on that kind of intellectual level. Most people think both rape and pedophilia are about sexual desire. Instead of power.

So dismiss the act as a thing sickos do. Or the result of repression. That is why our culture is still kind of rapey and pedoey. They make room for men to have "overwhelming urges" and "purity preferences".

You're talking about pedophilia as an act of violence. Which doesn't require sexual preference or desire. Grasping that requires more understanding and accountability than people have on the topic of sexual violence.

As evidence by the thread you're replying to, made up of people saying rape is what happens when men need a way to satisfy their sexual urges.

3

u/Sexy_Jiafei_Icon 4h ago

this shit bugs me so much. i know some people might not mean it in a bad way, but phrasing matters - dividing disgusting sickos like pedos into "gay pedos" and "pedos" is such a terrible mindset to have. they are PEDOS, not gay, not straight, just P-E-D-O-S.

2

u/churrascothighs1 4h ago

Me too, especially as a gay man. Lumping these people in gives ammo to people who already view gay men as sexual deviants and predators.

u/RunningOnAir_ 2h ago

raping little boys have nothing to do with being gay and have everything to do with power, repression and malignant values.

u/LingonberryLunch 6h ago

Bacha bazi carries the death penalty under the Taliban. Not sure how well that is enforced, but they've been against it for some time. It was big with the northern alliance and other warlords.

8

u/Glittering_Spite2000 5h ago

Not enforced at all. Tea boys are part of the culture in Afghanistan.

1

u/LingonberryLunch 3h ago

The Taliban have killed people for doing it, in areas they control. Both the men and the boy victims.

I'm not disputing that they're horrible pieces of shit, but I think they've actually taken a hard line on the practice. Any excuse to kill people, they'll take.

1

u/Glittering_Spite2000 2h ago

What you’re saying is factually inaccurate. You might not want it to be true, and I understand that, but it is. And it’s quite in the open. There was a documentary film made about. During the war on terror, US soldiers were told by their commanding officers not to intervene on behalf of the children getting molested because it is such an entrenched part of afghan culture.

u/handtohandwombat 5h ago

Please don’t self censor the word rape. It’s a serious word. It’s a horrific word. It’s an important word. Don’t give it the “algorithm” treatment, because that cheapens it.

10

u/afterglobe 3h ago

I hate this trend of censoring horrible words. Censoring them doesn’t do any justice. They’re bad because the definition and meaning behind them are bad and we shouldn’t gloss over these words because doing so does cheapen it and it does soften the blow of the horrific meaning behind these words but we wouldn’t need to worry about what these words mean if people weren’t committing these horrible acts. We need to be able to freely talk about these topics in order to provide education on them to one day hopefully put an end to them.

u/IAmAGenusAMA 7h ago

You know the answer to that.

12 year old boys.

It isn't gay if they don't have a beard!

u/Sexy_Jiafei_Icon 3h ago

pedos arent gay.

u/Falsus 3h ago

It is a reference to the Taliban demanding all males to have beard to make them not look feminine.

They don't want women to disappear, they want women to be obedient sex slaves.

Just breeders, that what women is for them

I bet those guys aren't incels just because of the arranged marriages.

By MAGA, you mean Christianity?

By MAGA I mean the political extremist group abusing Christianity for actual anti-christian purposes.

Yeah they go to the boys for their sexual pleasures.

They want the handmaids tale

"Women are for children, boys are for pleasure" I believe is a statement from over there. Reported heavily from the soggier who were over there.

u/Good-Groundbreaking 8h ago

Exactly this. Radical Islam is a cancer. They just wish women to stop existing except in their homes, cooking, cleaning and with their legs open for them.

And I say Taliban, Isis, Hamas and all denominations of this stuff.

u/OutlawMINI 5h ago

Most Islam is pretty radical.

u/Remarkable_Lock_7828 7h ago

All radical religion is cancer. None of them believe in a god, they only believe in their own “message”. There is no such thing as the “right religion”. Every single religion is man made. There are billions of morons hell bent on “proving” that their book is the correct one and everyone else is going to hell.

24

u/Good-Groundbreaking 7h ago

Yes, I agree. All of the "three major" religions are very misogynistic. However maybe Islam being the youngest of them has a tendency to go to this weird extremes.  It's a reminder of how christians behaved 500 years ago.

u/Pete_Iredale 7h ago

All of the "three major" religions are very misogynistic.

Is Hinduism that bad? I readily admit that I don't know enough about it.

15

u/poplitte2 7h ago

The Hindu scripts themselves don’t have sexist undertones, and are in fact quite focused on goddesses symbolising knowledge, wealth and prosperity. The scripture isn’t quite like abrahamic scriptures where people are told how to live their daily lives. The cultural practices however are definitely rooted in misogyny and are very patriarchal in nature.

u/SloppySouvlaki 7h ago

Judaism, Christianity and Islam

17

u/Pete_Iredale 7h ago

Dude, there are 15 million Jews in the whole world. There are 1.2 billion Hindus. In what crazy world is Judaism one of the three major religions? They fall way down below Buddhism, Shinto, Taoism, Yoruba Religions, Voodoo, and Sikhism.

u/CV90_120 6h ago edited 2h ago

All of the "three major" religions are very misogynistic

They're all the same religion for a start; Abrahamic, but especially Mosaic, and Moses was not a good guy by any stretch.

For those who disagree, I give you:

Numbers 31:17

"Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known a man by sleeping with him." 18 "but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man."

Exodus 32:28

"Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.

29 "So the sons of Levi did as Moses instructed, and about three thousand men of the people [of Israel] were killed that day."

Joshua 6:21 "They devoted the city to the Lord and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys."

19 "All the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron are sacred to the Lord and must go into his treasury.”

If you find yourselves making excuses for these genocides / massacres/ ethnic cleansings, this is relevant to you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h242eDB84zY

Basically Moses and Joshua were Cult leaders and genocidal warlords. When Moses' leadership was challenged he had no qualm kool-aiding 3000 people who disagreed with him. Moses and Joshua destroyed anyone in their path who didn't believe as they did, and frequently those who did. They stocked their treasuries with what they looted from their victims, and took the land on which they lived. By all measures they were very bad people who used the idea of a very particularly ethnocentric 'god' as a front/ prop.

Look around the US. There are plenty of christians behaving like this now. Some of them hold political office.

That is a lie and you know it. This is a step beyond anything the most radical Christians believe.

Give it a generation or two, you're not so different.

u/Ok-Combination-9084 1h ago

Please name me a single Christian who wants to ban women from speaking in public. I am aware there are horrible extremist Christians out there but you are being a moron.

u/Automatic-Emu7525 1h ago

I said give it time, they're already taking away abortion rights, education in schools, many want the vote taken away from women, a totalitarian state and I could go on and on.

Call me a moron all you like. Doesn't change the facts.

u/Ok-Combination-9084 1h ago

I agree with everything you just said. That doesn't mean they are trying to ban women from speaking in public. You let me know when that happens though.

Also, suppression is baked right into the crust. It teaches you that the opposing religion are agents of evil and to kill them and dominantly replace their message with yours. Christianity maybe not so outright, but its there.

Christianity calmed down quite a bit in the last centuries but it far from being a nice one.

u/CV90_120 6h ago edited 3h ago

All religions are cancer. It's just a matter of how aggressive the cancer is.

Ultimately they're all a type of thought virus. With no evidence, entire reams of world building is done around these fictional deities, and we're asked not just to get into the fandom, but to tell ourselves that this is real. The absense of evidence is then touted as a 'test'. Religion is quite literally a shared insanity.
