Grooming does not just mean "influencing children", stop using it for everything you don't like
No we need to destroy that word by overusing it beyond what they use it for, same as woke and how we destroyed the SJW (notice no one says it anymore).
Everything religious/conservative is now woke grooming. Join me on this.
Jesus is a woke groomer and so are his woke followers.
Church is a grooming center.
GOP = Groomers on Parade
I think that's probably not a bad idea.
When the left finds a term like woke or SJW, the right turns it into a pejorative. Or they choose a term like groomer and misapply it.
Taking a page out of their playbook and misusing and overusing the term might not be a bad idea. It takes the power of the word away from them.
That and we should never just refer to them as "the right" or "conservatives". Do what they do and add some adjectives in front.
DON'T: The alt-right, right wing, conservatives, Christians
DO: groomer christians, snowflake republicans, the psychotic right wing,
They never say left wing it's always radical left wing. In turn I say we embrace it like some let's go Brandon shit.
The real Radical left wing:
I forgot to use "regressives" but I like "psychotic right wing". How about: rabid right wing?
Rabid as in rabies. Love it. Makes em sound unhinged.
"the practice of preparing or training someone for a particular purpose or activity" seems like a valid definition for indoctrinating kids into joining an illogical cult.
This definition basically means all school is grooming. And all on the job training. Or essentially anything where you are assisting someone else to be able to do something.
Yes by that definition that is true, but that is an actual definition of the word grooming. I was just pointing out the word did work for what it was used for
Yes. That's what grooming is. It wasn't a negative term until it started to be used to only describe grooming for sexual activities. Another word like this is cult. The basis of it is basically cultivation or worship.
A more original definition of cult is "a system of religious veneration and devotion to a particular figure or object." Many religions today can be defined by that.
Even indoctrinate isn't necessary evil: a doctrine is a belief or setbof beliefs taught by a Church, political party, or other group. Indoctrination mainly means teaching that uncritically, which is often done with many different things other than religion. Generally the negative part is not allowing the students to take a critical view to see whether what is being taught is true and/or beneficial vs negative.
TIL I groomed my family by teaching them to use a PW manager and hardware U2F keys.
Seems like a pretty loose definition to me
Passwords aren't organized cults though.
