The scandal over NZ Greens MP Benjamin Doyle rolls on despite all the best efforts of the New Zealand media to bury it. The media have gone into full cover up mode in recent days, casting Doyle as an innocent victim.
The weirdest take of all is, surely, the NZ Herald’s Audrey Young, who claims:
Doyle must also know by now that using vulgar and sexually explicit words, such as bussy, in association with photos of children – your own children or otherwise – can be construed in ways never intended.
What possible ways can one construe using – Young’s own words – ‘vulgar and sexually explicit words’ in association with photos of children? For some reason, she doesn’t elaborate. It’s almost like she knows her argument is complete bullshit.
“Not every photo of a queer person kissing a child is something to be alarmed about,” she further witters – even though absolutely no one had said it was.
Oddly, Young never explains what’s not to be alarmed about a grown man kissing a child on the lips and posting it for the world to see. Especially when it’s posted by someone calling himself ‘BibleBeltBussy’ – gay slang for ‘boy pussy’, or, to use the dictionary definition: the male anus: used especially by gay men in a receptive sexual role.
That an MP should call himself such in a public forum is inappropriate enough. Using the slang repeatedly to caption photos of little boys should surely alarm even the most incurious mainstream media journalist.
We’re constantly warned, after all, that insidious online actors use all manner of codes and emojis to communicate secretly with others. Kate Hannah can see signs of ‘right wing extremism’ and ‘white supremacy’ in photos of little girls with braided hair, after all. Other emojis are used widely by neo-Nazis, such as a double-eight ball, or ‘88’: H being the eighth letter of the alphabet: it’s code for ‘HH: Heil Hitler’. I’m not making that up. ‘1488’ combines the aforementioned ‘88’ with the ‘14 word slogan’ from Mein Kampf. The Republic of Niger flag emoji presumably needs no explanation.
At least the Nazis have given up on their ridiculous ‘echo quotes’, meaning (((them))), or Jews.
So, knowing how emojis are used like this by some clandestine groups, why is no one allowed to see alarming signs in photos of an adult gay man dandling a young boy, with the caption ‘bussygalore’?
Maybe there’s an innocent explanation. So, let’s hear it, instead of, as the Greens and the media are doing, trying to bury the story and delete the evidence.
Well, sorry, girls and bussies, but the internet is indeed forever. You can delete posts, but not the screenshots people have made of them.

So, what are the secret codes hidden in some emojis. Not just on some ‘far right’ blog’s word, but from the Australian Federal Police itself.
Even such – to us relative innocents, at least – such innocuous emojis as an ear of corn, a peach, or a bowl of noodles, have secret connotations when used in certain contexts. Ear of corn: ‘porn’. Peach: ‘bottom’. Noodles: ‘nudes’ (‘noods’).
Context, of course, is everything. So, what emojis has Doyle used, in what contexts?
On a photo of a child sitting on his knee, Doyle used the caption ‘Bussy galore’ and a nail-painting emoji. So, ‘lots of boy pussy’. The nail-painting is a bit more ambiguous: it’s most often used to indicate a ‘whatever’ attitude. But other social media users insist that it was originally used to indicate a gay man.
In another photo, apparently of a child wearing pink crocs, Doyle has the caption: ‘swipe to see a [eggplant emoji]’. Even I know (thanks to It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) that the eggplant emoji means a penis.
Another icon that Doyle used on his profile page was a blue spiral.
From the FBI: The blue spiral can be used to indicate a ‘boy lover’, but in that case it’s usually a triangular shape, although some variations are rounded. But content-detection company ActiveFence also state that the blue spiral is ‘used to procure, trade, or sell CSAM [Child Sexual Abuse Material] depicting boys’.
If you don’t believe the Feds, try searching the blue spiral on social media, and you’ll get this warning:
A longer reach, at least, is an offhand reference in one of Doyle’s post to ‘let’s talk about cheese instead’. Now, I’d give the benefit of the doubt on that one, but other media have pointed out that ‘cheese’ and ‘cheese pizza’ have apparently been adopted for real by online paedophiles, after first being touted by the wacko ‘Pizzagate’ conspiracy.
Maybe there’s an entirely innocent explanation for all this. Indeed, we should assume that there is. So, let’s hear it, instead of cover-ups and self-righteous finger-wagging.
And would the media extend the same courtesy to, say, a photo of David Seymour kissing a little girl on the lips? Or Christopher Luxon posting photos with little girls, captioned ‘pussy galore’?
Ah, but it’s always different when the Greens do it.
