      Tbf, some people are hiding their LGBT-phobia under the guise of “i hate pedophiles”, I’m not accusing you of anything, but I can see how that statement could be problematic.

        Wait, there’s more!

        Pedophilia is a sexual/romantic interest in prepubescent children. Most pedophiles never engage sexually with a child, and a good share of child molesters are not pedophiles and are just looking for easy victims.

        So on top of potentially shitting on LGBT community, this also concerns people born with a shitty sexual interest that know full well kids should never be abused.

        And the rates of pedophilia seem to be higher among child sexual abuse survivors, so they get death threats on top of their trauma. Not great.

      I got banned for the same reason after a comment that contained a direct, attributed quote from Donald trump. TBF he is a hateful little shit so I probably should have known better.
