    I’ve read a few times that the whole Kill Paedophiles thing is a dogwhistle. It can be said openly because nobody’s going to defend true paedos, but the people pushing the phrase really mean people of marginalized gender identities. The way some people get so riled up over drag queen story hours, I can believe it.

      Yeah, the end game was pretty fucking clear for those who were paying attention. Equate being LGBTQ+ with pedophilia, because pedophilia was obviously already unpopular. Then rally against pedophilia, and use the fervor to sweep up the LGBTQ’s.

      To be clear, active pedophiles deserve all the scorn in the world. But lynch mobs aren’t exactly known for carefully examining known evidence and coming to an unbiased consensus on who is and isn’t guilty.

      I watched an Explore With Us video recently where a guy super outspoken about hating paedos… unsurprisingly, raped kids.

    The funny thing is, the people that tend to be the most vocal about this kind of thing are often perpetrators themselves.

    I’m not sure how I feel about this.

    On one hand, I see how they set it up to troll people. But on the other hand… I don’t like the ending statement. Ha
