At the risk of being called hurty names by the mean grls, I’m not going to jump to any conclusion based on one photograph. I’m happy to be corrected, but I doubt a child of that age would be able to interpret any complex meaning from what she is witnessing.
I’m also not going to jump to the conclusion that because people participate in a lifestyle I don’t understand or share, those people in the presence of a child will hold or act upon immoral thoughts. Without further information, it is neither possible nor desirable to come to that conclusion. If the men in the photo are known well by the girl’s family, it’s possible that if they saw someone behaving inappropriately, they might very well beat the sh!t out of him. Who knows?
It’s not surprising that the photo has gained plaudits from the same people who are promoting their event. Thanks to Andy Ngo – one of few with actual guts step into the ring – they’ve probably gained a heck of a lot more airtime than they might have been expecting.

I understood the point, dover, but I feel that reactive posts such as this simply feed our opponents’ narrative. If they were dressing the child in gear like their own, that would be a different matter entirely.
I’m aware I use the collective ‘we’ far too much, but I wish that ‘we’ would realise that by continuing to permit our opponents to set the rules, and then react to the same, there can be no positive, measurable, outcome. The only way to conquer is by taking and maintaining the initiative.
These type of posts are Pavlovian, and will take us nowhere. We are chasing our own tails.

This post is only one side of the reversal that is required. You must point out the problem with the current situation, and you also have to point towards the solution to the current problem. We must not fear what the Left will say in response to our pointing out the problem since they will oppose whatever we say anyway.
Further, I disagree that responding to such an photo and the award is Pavlovian. The Left engage in such a manner, not to provoke a response of derision or contempt, but of passive acceptance and humiliation because of the further degradation of mores tolerating this silently engenders. It is of a piece with Dalrymple’s point regarding communist propaganda/ political correctness:
“Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”
