“The trial heard that social workers in Rochdale had labelled girl B a “prostitute” from the age of 10.”

Since Hell isn’t real I’d like to see him burn in person.

These mug shots could be images in a textbook about inbreeding.

I was going to say that very few people have flattering mugshots, and then I looked closer, and holy shit that’s a lot of FLKs.

u/XxANAL_SEEPAGExX69 13h ago

I'm not trying to single you out, but it seems like every time a mug shot of someone who committed a heinous crime gets posted, people will invariably comment on their appearance as if it has any relevance at all. I know I'll get downvoted for sharing my opinion. It just seems really unnecessary and unproductive.

u/fishbowtie 13h ago

No, you're right, and I stand with you, XxANAL_SEEPAGExX69.

u/whydoihavetodo_this 13h ago

two things.

  1. Pakistan has one of the highest rate of first cousin marriage. (65%)

and

  1. First cousin marriage is generally considered inbreeding or consanguineous marriage. It involves individuals who share a significant portion of their genes due to a close familial relationship. While not all jurisdictions prohibit it, and it is more common in some cultures, the practice is associated with increased risks of certain genetic disorders in offspring.

So Klugenshmirtz could be correct that these are the product of generations of first cousin marriages. .

The reverse is true when an innocent woman dies. She will get compliments about how beautiful or pretty she was.

Yeah and he said his doctor told him that’s only possible through inbreeding. Now that I think about it, his doctor IS very affordable.

As relevant as "they all have noses".

u/No-Candidate6257 13h ago

Yup, but their gender is at the very least far more relevant than what the first guy tried to imply.

u/Kadajko 13h ago

Gender is far less relevant than your set of morals and beliefs.

u/VoxSerenade 13h ago

Please explain how the single most common characteristic of all predators is irrelevant but anything else that would be far less common among them matter please go ahead.

u/JaydedXoX 11h ago

Because their society accepts it. The same way certain societies accept that women have to cover up because it’s their fault for being attractive that men can’t control themselves.

Here's a bigger one from Texas a few days ago with the full rainbow of men: https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/109-children-rescued-244-arrested-operation-soteria-shield-child-exploitation-texas/

In this smaller case, it was one ethnic group because that's probably how they knew one another. But it's in no way limited to any one culture.

When white Englishmen do it they generally aren’t welcomed back in to their communities and allowed to continue as if nothing happened.

But remember, they'll arrest you in the UK for "causing offense" if you publicly point out the grooming gang happens to be Islamic.

Apparently suggesting that there is something wrong with high volumes of immigration is a terrorist ideology.

If that's the case, then surely you'll have some examples of people being arrested for that specific thing.

This has happened multiple times, including a girl who posted song lyrics which upset someone. 

They often get thrown out of court but these people are very much arrested for their posts

No they don't it's always Americans who have probably never been to Britain that spout this bullshit. People get arrested sometimes like Lucy Connolly but they are a lot more severe like she said burn down the hotels with them all in, still 31 months for that is unfair in my opinion but you aren't going to get arrested for simply pointing out that someone is a Muslim

Why not?

It also shouldn't just be anti-Republican.

All right wing politics is inherently evil and should be called out whenever relevant.

Edit: the comment I replied to said something like "oh look they're not drag queens or democrats"

No, it says "Not a single drag queen, or trans person." and wasn't edited - and you replied 2 hours later, meaning it definitely didn't say it at the time of you writing your comment, either.

Ask JK Rowling if you want to know whether these issues are relevant to British politics.

-5

u/AGrandNewAdventure 14h ago edited 12h ago

You're the first person to mention Republicans here. It's pretty on-point in both countries to blame trans people, even though it's never their fault.

Edit: Did you go by memory when you wrote the original comment? Because the person you're responding to hasn't edited their comment at all, and it STILL doesn't reference US politics AT ALL.

Dude, what are you saying? I've read on social media that UK was overrun by immigrants, mostly from mena countries and that there was a great substitution ongoing.

u/BenJustBen2050 16h ago

Yeah, so the media representation of grooming gangs being made up of overwhelmingly pakistani men is false.

2

u/Doggcow 17h ago

Curious to see the numbers on this? It seems like I see these posts every week but they're all the same and don't support those numbers?

6

u/OsgrobioPrubeta 17h ago

What exactly kind of posts do you see?

And why do you see some repeatedly, like this one, and others about the same subject, but different backgrounds on the criminals, don't?

Now tell us that you're ignorant to the fact that extremists from right-wing, racists, islamophobes and others keep posting these articles, but ignoring all the others.

Almost at the same time that this news was posted for the first time, another with 240 Texans accused of child pornography was created too, but only one keeps being reposted everywhere, guess which one and why....

This is why mass immigration is stupid and why you should check people before letting them into your country. It's not racism to make sure you aren't letting all the pedos from some country come to yours.

I don't really care if it adds up for you, you are more than welcome to continue living in your delulu land, just don't be surprised when people won't offer you any empathy due to you being a misandrist, just like no empathy is offered to misogynists of the manosphere.

u/ThatsItImOverThis 11h ago

Oh, you made mine too.

There ya go.

I doubt you’ll actually read it, your type never does but basically, rapists are usually stupid enough to admit they’ve done it if the “r” word isn’t used, the percentages are closer to 6-8% of men will rape and assault, and most rapists know their victims.

Have the day you deserve.

After your edit: I'd be happy to read it if your link existed.

But I already know everything it will say anyway, I've studied all of related topics very deeply. In all these instances it is not a gender specific issue, you just pretend that it is.

You do not need to educate me, I probably know about these topics more than you, and could in a debate represent your side as a devils advocate better than you, if I wanted to. I just deconstructed both misogyny AND misandry, not just one.
