What people do in their free time is their own choice. You judge teachers on what they do at school, because that’s where they’re teachers.
Some of your other examples are too petulant and silly to respond to.
Oh I thought we were supposed to assume good faith in order to have a productive discussion? My examples show that there is no cutoff for your moral panic, it’s completely arbitrary. You of course won’t engage with this because you’re a shithead who thinks “debating” is something to be proud of
What people do in their free time is their own choice.
Let me put this in the simplest way possible. The second you focus your energies on defending teachers’ rights to do online porn, you have ceded the entirety of discourse surrounding the Education System to the conservative right at best, and the fascist right at worst. You will be exiled to the fringes of society by the parents themselves.
Let me put this even simpler: If your response to hearing a teacher has an OF is “they should get fired” then you suck. If your response is “well if you defend the teacher for having an OF then you lose the optics war!” then you suck and you’re stupid. For one we’re on a niche internet forum, nothing here matters. Behaving like this in any way constitutes as the public discourse with weight to change anything is silly. For the other it’s not a good thing that teachers have OF platforms, but blaming them for it and going along with that puritanical moral panic is giving away territory in your so precious discourse.
Libertad? This isn’t some libertarianism thing.
Also all the people that are arguing “well what if my kids find porn of their teacher?” Should probably implement some sort of parental control, if they’re so worried of their children finding porn.
This is a niche shitposting leftist forum. There are no hills here. Nothing matters. It’s all valleys, which makes it all into mountains and molehills as well.
How do you expect to get anything done if you call other people on your small leftist forum chuds because you disagree on one thing despite agreeing on 99 others? You know there will be plenty of other leftists who disagree with you on this or that, right?
I think they’re a chud because they have a puritanical worldview and they use typical chud debatebro tactics.
I don’t expect to get anything done thru a website and I sincerely hope you don’t either. This isn’t a place for organizing it’s a safe space for leftist shitposting and it sincerely saddens me to see people be so blindly supportive of obvious puritanical moral panic BS.

IRL I’ve had this conversation while I worked at a school and one of the temps that worked there turned out to have an onlyfans. The only person who got fired was the guy who made a big stink about it. This was because we worked with children and people found it weird how obsessed he was with porn.
I’ve done plenty of IRL organizing and you’d be surprised the kinda things you can talk out with regular normal people. I don’t have to agree with them on everything, but being weird judgemental prudes using debate tricks learned by 3rd graders don’t make them into someone where one can have a fruitful cooperative effort.
“I disagree with this person therefore they’re a chud therefore I can be as big of an ass as I want to them” is a shitty way to interact with people here. “It’s just a website” is a bad excuse because it makes interactions on that website shittier and how we act online bleeds through to the real world.
The only person I saw using “debate tricks” was you, and you can’t say on one hand this is a website so you can be an ass to whoever you want, then on the other hand complain about stuff like that.
I think if they’re writing books with that kind of material, then yes - I’d fire nabakov immediately for example
If you think Lolita was condoning its subject matter then you completely misunderstood the entire message of the book. This is why we need media literacy.
Fans of that book, or the literati, always say that, and yet its very popular with child abusers. No doubt there are those who read it and were disgusted. Most people however don’t need an elaborate fantasy novel to tell them that kind of thing is very very bad.
If I’ve misunderstood the message, and others have too (it isn’t generally well liked, except in certain circles, usually called at least ‘controversial’), then we can be sure that anyone writing such material shouldn’t be a teacher, and certainly children shouldn’t be exposed to it - and the way communities work, children at such a teacher’s school would be well aware of any controversial publications they might have made. Personally, I think it is a literary trick (like the ‘poverty porn’ genre) to justify the promotion of dodgy material to a certain class for titilation, so I’d do a lot more than sack such an author.

Um, what? This logic could be applied to critical race theory about as easily as you’ve applied it here to Lolita. Way to prove that you really are a puritan.
sure, if critical race theory were child abuse, and if the author were a Russian aristo who fled to the US when the commies won. I suppose any logic can be applied to anything if we ignore what’s actually being discussed.
It really isn’t puritan to dislike Lolita and I think if you think that connection you’ve made through you’ll see why.
So, writing anything that multiple people misunderstand and find offensive, especially if it can be called ‘controversial,’ is an automatic disqualification from teaching, got it. Makes perfect sense, and I’m not at all deeply disappointed to see multiple hexbears upvote this horrifically bad take.
Not anything, but certainly something about child abuse, when, and I can’t emphasise this enough, you’re responsible for teaching children is certainly an auto disqualification.
No, I suppose I should have been more exact, I assumed it would be obvious - if somebody who is a teacher, writes a dry, detached, scientific & academic paper about child abuse for the purpose of education and safeguarding, because they’re a qualified expert in a related regulated field, they shouldn’t be barred from teaching.
If some aristo writes a fantasy about the subject, yes they should be banned from teaching.
Well, as you accept, its controversial - ambiguously understood. Maybe those people are idiots, it doesn’t change the issue - there are idiots (or naive or poorly educated people) in this world, they have to be accomodated in terms of whats allowed in the public sphere.
You absolutely can be held responsible for writing such things, even if you put a disclaimer on it. Some people glorify or identify with monsters, even if they’re presented as such - some people like villains in movies. The ambiguity is an issue easily avoided by banning the book - nothing of value would be lost.

Lmao are you Helen Lovejoy?
WONT SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?

Sometimes it’s not about Libertad, Carajo.

Was that what I wrote?
Boy I sure am glad I wrote more than that one sentence
Picking your battles is important. A teacher doing OnlyFans is a great example of something that’s defensible but very much not a hill to die on.

This is some real

What goes around comes around
We shouldn’t interact with each other the way we interact with chuds.
I consider them a chud because of their behaviour and opinion

I am absolutely fucking disgusted with this shit

So if someone says “child abuse is bad” they should be banned from teaching, because they said something about child abuse, do I have this right?
No, I suppose I should have been more exact, I assumed it would be obvious - if somebody who is a teacher, writes a dry, detached, scientific & academic paper about child abuse for the purpose of education and safeguarding, because they’re a qualified expert in a related regulated field, they shouldn’t be barred from teaching.

THEY ABSOLUTELY DO NOT HAVE TO BE ACCOMMODATED SHUT THE FUCK UP
You didn’t read it, did you?
And I’m not saying it’s a good book because it isn’t.
