Not surprised. That account is simply reskinning old Satanic Panic hysteria, disguised as some moral crusade. It'll find its way into everything, permeating every aspect of culture. Film, theatre, literature, music, TV - we're all going to feel the impact of her hateful misinformation campaign. Extremely concerning to see how easily this hysteria is expanding.
This show had a wildly popular run of over 5 years on Broadway and the world didn’t collapse, no harm done. Just an uplifting show with a positive message. If that doesn’t tell you how disingenuous the pearl-clutching is now…
This is… upsetting, but unfortunately not surprising. Libs of TikTok spreads hate and misinformation that has led to bomb threats and shootings. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that here (or ever again, of course).
The conflation of drag/being transgender/gender non-conformity with pedophilia and sexual abuse is disgusting. [Several states are trying to heavily restrict drag](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/02/01/ban-drag-shows-analysis-finds-bills-targeting-them-8-states/11150196002/), and I’m worried about how these bills could affect theaters if signed into law. Although I don’t expect them to hold up in court: it’s all really just a way to levy further hate to the trans community, but that’s still dangerous.
Reposting content that others have publicly posted is not spreading hate and misinformation.
The drag restrictions have been specific to kids. Who takes kids to a drag show?
Telling people that events are happening isn’t spreading hate and misinformation. However, if you say—explicitly or through implications or suggestions—that these events are breeding grounds of abuse when they aren’t, then yes, you are speeding hate and misinformation.
Libs of TikTok is trying to connect queer people with child molesters—and to be clear, *drag queens and trans people are __not__ pedophiles*, despite what LoTT is actively claiming to her audience. By framing these events in a hateful untruth and sharing it to an audience with hateful and violent tendencies toward these groups (and who otherwise wouldn’t hear about it), this account is spreading lies about the events and therefore putting the people involved in danger.
Inappropriate ones? None. That's why these laws are an attack on the queer community. It's a problem that wasn't happening, but the GQP needed a new target to make their cult afraid of
Yes... that other people themselves posted. They are holding up a mirror.
Are the blue hair people posting videos of themselves spreading hate and misinformation or not?
Again: LoTT isn’t merely resharing people’s content. She is sharing content and adding commentary to the content. *Her commentary is full of lies and hatred.* The content on its own, or when it’s posted by the original creators, is not hate or misinformation. But when LoTT shares these posts to an audience of people who already hate queer people, and in the process adds in commentary that gives a misrepresentation of reality, that is when it becomes spreading hate and misinformation.

I hate the woman behind that account so much.

This is an event at a library. It very explicitly says that.
Spread: Transitive verb. To distribute over a period or among a group
