Let's also not forget that while all this energy is going into harassing queers on the internet, real actual pedophiles are out there hurting real actual children. There's so much attention paid to this stuff that could have gone toward targeting actual predators... but of course that was never going to happen, was it? Because the people complaining about queers on the internet only care about queers on the internet and don't give a fuck about children in the real world who are suffering.

yeah uh a lot of people have convinced themselves that i'm a pedophile, so, "i'd punch a pedophile" stuff is not a fun time to see

YES. There is a performative-ness to so much posting about "pedophiles" and the discussion around it. Like a last week i saw a workout inspo video going around like "one day, a pedophile is going to GET a child while youre around, and youll be too WEAK to stop them. Dont you want to make sure that never happens?"

Like who is this fucking for? What are we doing here?

Also it just completely ignores how pedophilia actually manifests and harms kids like stop fantasizing about beating up an i.aginary pedo and instead focus on things that will actually help children. Ffs.

The worst has been witnessing how many actual pedophiles are the ones throwing accusations around and blending into these ranks of 'protect the children'. They found 16TB of CSAM on the PC of the guy who 'ousted' a fellow cartoonist for drawing invader zim porn on a private acct! Like the call is coming from inside the house ppl, 😩.

"Hey fuckers I'm the premiere ageplay artist, come get your gross commissions from me you disgusting perverts! 18+ only minors DNI, in fact honestly if you're younger than 25 I'll probably find you a little annoying, just saying."

"Wow gross so gross isn't that guy gross and scary?? Hey stupid 14 year olds this appeals to, you should follow me for more great takes like this. Ooh, looks like your online friends are problematic, and uh-oh your friends at school are problematic too! You should cut them all out of your life and make me the singular judge on who is and is not morally correct enough for you to interact with. Don't think about the fact that you're socially isolating yourself for the approval of a grown adult throwing out wildly immature appeals to emotion, just throw yourself at the feet of me and the rest of these wolves I've cultivated; everything will be fine!"
