Unsure if this document is from the McCarthy era US, the UK under Thatcher or the US last friday.

[–] AstroStelar@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

In the top left corner the document says "81st Congress" which was from '49 to '51, so the answer is McCarthy-era US

[–] uSSRI@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

The answer is: Yes.

Homosexuality is sex perversion, now being a pedophile, that's a good honest god fearing politican!

nerd 'Pervert', much like the word 'deviant' means someone engaging in behaviour that deviates from the norm, usually in what is considered to be a morally unacceptable way: you can see this in phrases like "perverting the course of justice" or "perverse verdict" which aren't to do with sex. However, in common use, the word pervert was so closely associated with sex crimes due to its scandalous nature that most people tend to use it on its own as referring exclusively to paraphilic acts and the people who engage in them.

Could make a law that any word that can have a sexual connotation will eventually become exclusively known for the sexual meaning and next to impossible to use in any other context without being interpreted as innuendo. Eg: fetish, intercourse, gay.

Not just a pervert, a sex pervert

Well sure, you got the famous debate pervert, you got art perverts, so naturally you'd get sex perverts, people that have casual sex with the lights on.

Personally I'm a tennis pervert.

I think you're some kind of deviated prevert. And I think General Ripper found out about your preversion, and that you were organizing some kind of mutiny of preverts.

Tonight on "Rock Bottom", we go undercover at a sex farm for sex hookers!

I remember first hearing it in this scene from Airplane II at around the 0:38 mark (CW: movie dialogue about sexual assault)

I think I was 12 when I first watched the original. So, so many of the jokes and references flew over my head at the time.

Fun fact: your friend will rent Airplane! when you are 11 because it is rated PG and his hyper-Christian mom will be OK with it. It would be rated R by today's standards.

It's comedic and corny in a "dad joke" kinda way.

It reminds me a lot of Norm Macdonald. It's the sort of odd little phrase he would use.

there's an episode of one of those comedy detective shows like Psych or Monk where it comes up

I object to the term “sex pervert” being applied to pedophiles because being a bit of a pervert is fun and cool
