quote Fig. 2. The flow of conversation between the various stages of online grooming. A node represents each stage in online grooming. An edge from stage Si to Sj represents that stage Sj is followed by stage Si in the pedophile conversation. Weights on the edges represent the conditional probability that the conversation moves to state Sj given state Si. Friendship forming stage is the initial stage with which most of pedophile conversations begin. Relationship forming and conclusion stages are the two final stages with which conversations end.

Cutting to the chase

quote Cyber-crime targeting children such as online pedophile activity are a major and a growing concern to society. A deep understanding of predatory chat conversations on the Internet has implications in designing effective solutions to automatically identify malicious conversations from regular conversations. We believe that a deeper understanding of the pedophile conversation can result in more sophisticated and robust surveillance systems than majority of the current systems relying only on shallow processing such as simple word-counting or key-word spotting. In this paper, we study pedophile conversations from the perspective of online grooming theory and perform a series of linguistic-based empirical analysis on several pedophile chat conversations to gain useful insights and patterns. We manually annotated 75 pedophile chat conversations with six stages of online grooming and test several hypothesis on it. The results of our experiments reveal that relationship forming is the most dominant online grooming stage in contrast to the sexual stage. We use a widely used word-counting program (LIWC) to create psycho-linguistic profiles for each of the six online grooming stages to discover interesting textual patterns useful to improve our understanding of the online pedophile phenomenon. Furthermore, we present empirical results that throw light on various aspects of a pedophile conversation such as probability of state transitions from one stage to another, distribution of a pedophile chat conversation across various online grooming stages and correlations between pre-defined word categories and online grooming stages.

This is so not what I was imagining.
Nevermind. Please... carry on.

quote Originally posted by Fats: And why would parents take their kids to such things? It's just bugging me that people either care so little for their kids, or are that oblivious.

LOL, when I first read the title... I was thinking... oh man, what am I getting into. I was thinking... ok... what age range would I be ok with?

I wouldn't mind if the strippers were between the age of 18-50. Still... 18 is starting to get kind of young and I'd keep thinking about the fact that this girl has a dad somewhere, and what is she doing with her life... and 50... you know... don't want to go much past that.


But then I realized you were talking about people in attendance... yes, I agree... it's insane. I'll refer you to Wichita's comment below... he is 100% correct here, totally, totally correct...

quote Originally posted by Wichita: Leftist white suburban parents have been brainwashed to think it's ok to teach pre-puberty kids sex, gay sex and being trans. These parents think it's a political power move to ruff up the feathers of everyone else by displaying it up in everyone's face. Little do they know they've been brainwashed by the leftist pedophiles, I mean, minor attracted groomers, which is a large left voting constituent, to normalize the sexualization of kids as to gain easy access to them.

Quick confession, I like a certain kind of fiction book series. I don't know why, but almost everyone on the Discord channel is a girl. But I happened to be reading the "General Discussions" section of that board, and a message popped up a couple of months ago that surprised me. This is not fake, I took this screen shot, and I blocked out the names:


(EDIT: I'll have to upload it after I post because it says I'm not logged in)



But this is real. It's exactly as you said. This woman says she's "PROUD" that her son came out as trans (she talks about it further down and says it's a he going to a she). PROUD. What are some things that you'd be proud of? Proud of good grades, proud of accomplishments. Does anyone actually WANT to be transgender? It's not something that someone is proud of... it means they believe (if it's legitimate) that they were supposed to be the other sex. It's like being proud of someone having an injury or a deficit. What she's PROUD of... is that she's now part of the ultra-special "woke club," and can brag about it to her other ultra-liberal suburbanite mothers.
