monkeypox
This is verging on a "political correctness gone mad thread" issue, but what the hell. Is anyone else finding the public messaging on monkeypox really weird? LIke, all the numbers clearly show it's an outbreak in the gay community being spread by unprotected sex between men. End of story. But nothing you see in the news mentions that.
Is it like "we can't say Polynesian" when talking about the Manly players going on strike about the Pride jersey? Is everyone so whipped by identity politics now that there is a culture-wide block on saying "this is a gay sex problem not a public health problem"? |

Lessons learnt from HIV?
It's not like gay men are the exclusive victims of this outbreak.

Not just gay men. Bisexuals too. If you want to read disgusting, check this out: BabeThePigBoi gets monkeypox

So you don't remember HIV, how that all played out?
Or do you think society has reached some pinnacle of enlightenment? That's what you notice when you look around?

I remember this happening last year.
So maybe targeted messaging coming from groups & organisations from the group might be more effective & less harmful then a broad media blitz.

Also of lol: not a single recorded female case

I guess that means that the 2% of cases who are not gay or bisexual men are totally straight dudes who have caught the disease by having unprotected sex with men.

Apparently you can get it from close skin contact.
I hope that's the case https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/471...ox-in-children

I'll come back when we start talking about whether an 85 year old gay man died WITH or OF a blistered anus.

What are your gay friends saying about the messaging they're encountering Ab? Mine seem well aware, despite being in monogamous relationships, altho that's just my bubble.

Yeah, I'm old and boring now which means that my gay friends are too. I have no idea what the message is among the young party crowd.

COVID: 2 years of lockdowns, isolation, fines, job losses, business shutdowns, and literally putting masks on children during the most important phase of their social development, brain-building time they'll never get back
Monkeypox: yes it's a global public health emergency but we can't ask gay men to limit the number of sexual encounters they have, that's unfair |

We should send out reminder letters to all the gays immediately. Otherwise they'll never know.

It makes me sad how we're missing out on so much low hanging fruit when it comes to exploiting what we know about child development, but no one cares until it's useful for their particular agenda.

Targeted messaging by an NGO. That's how these things get done.
Getting the PM to stand in front of the country saying "watch out gays" has the chance to create more harm than it would prevent. There are appropriate organisations well established in the community that are much better positioned to communicate with impacted populations.

Yeah, your guesses are totally appropriate and reasonable.
Fuck harm minimisation right? You and yours have to be protected first, whatever harm comes after, well, why would that even be brought up? What kind of woke bullshit is that? Right?
