Oh I get it. So this stuff gets pushed on left wing spaces. Then the left wing adopts this ethos where they say "pedo hunters aren't good" then the right goes "oh you're all pedophiles" and then the divide is bigger
That's not it. The right will lie about anything. If we change our beliefs to prevent the right from lying about us we would never have to stop changing our beliefs.
This is more about right wing militias hunting lqtb+ people under the guise of pedophilia.
No, I think this is it. This is the media doing what media does
Solid argument 10/10 on the gymnastics routine.
Poorly regulated pedo hunters that can end up ruining genuine law enforcement efforts at catching pedos aren't good.
Actually Leo don't do shit about pedophelia, because it usually involves powerful people, usually ends up being a pastor, priest of the church or one of their own, or a politician. Some sites online hide in plain site, with a format similar to r/pics if you dig deeper there's significant talk about commiting pedophelia acts, beastiality. And the sites often get taken down for other reasons besides thst
The bigger problem is that genuine law enforcement efforts are discouraged from actually catching pedophiles because they often end up being constituents of those same cops, either politically or socially. It's either a priest, a super PAC donor, or another cop on the other end of that investigation.
Perhaps it's best to make the distinction that this is creating a new type of predator, Violence Predators. Because that's what the problem is. Right now they are going after the targets no one cares about, when they run low on those targets, either because the need for "content/violence" outpaces the supply of easy targets, some of them will find new ones, while using the old label to mask what they are doing.
So make that distinction, because it's not about the people hunting pedophiles, it's about the people hunting for violence. If there's an overlap that doesn't need to be the focus of the argument, because that's the red herring.
Seems like a lot of these pedo hunters end up being pedos themselves
Lots of projection going on here
