For images where the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration, vertical proximity, or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.

This is similar to, but distinct from, the more widely known “DontDeadOpenInside” format. In that case, the text reads correctly top to bottom, but visual cues (like colouration, horizontal proximity, or vertical separation) lead you to try to read it left to right.

People: Why won't pedophiles seek professional help?

Also people:

maga & conservatives love rhetoric like this yet something tells me they wouldn't like the results. The number of right wing sex offenders and pedos is pretty mindboggling

always, always projection.

It's almost as though a political ideology based on rigid hierarchy and inferior "others", who should exist to respect and serve their "betters" primes people for dehumanising and horrifically exploiting people, while a political ideology grounded in respect, equality and freedom views children as people rather than sex objects.

The pedocon theory holds water, and I don't see this lunatic gunning down good friend of Epstein and convicted rapist Donald Trump.

YUP. Articulates it well.

Honestly it seems like the actual amount of pedophiles available to murder massively outstrips the demand of pedophiles to murder, and the end result is that people just expand the definition to the point where it's becoming meaningless.

Over the past few years, I've seen pedophilia used in the following contexts. The list gets more ridiculous as you go down:

  • Middle aged men "dating" adult teenage sex workers
  • Middle aged men "dating" adult sex workers in their early 20s
  • 18 year olds meeting up with 15 year olds they met online
  • A 17 year old discord mod talking with a 14 year old how they're attracted to each other, but the age difference might make it unethical
  • 18 year olds dating 16 year olds
  • Drag Queens having story hours at the library
  • Men in their early thirties dating women in their early 20s.
  • Men in their mid thirties dating women in their mid to late twenties
  • Queer people in general

It feels like this "kill a pedo" routine is just gonna be used by people to go after regular people by assholes looking for blood.

Anyone arguing to mass-murder a loosely defined group of people, should probably be a reason for pause.

How about we try to help people instead of killing them first?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Yeah, if you're calling for a group of people to be killed, regardless of what that group is or claims to do, there should probably be some sort of police investigation on you. It could be that you've correctly identified a dangerous demographic, but you're probably just a violent, hateful prick.

Yeah, I have issues with predation on children as all decent people do, but there’s an intense bloodthirst that people like to use pedophiles to justify. And beyond the fact that they keep expanding their targets to non-pedophiles, they also just have a level of blood lust I’m uncomfortable with

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago

They're not wrong, but something tells me his hard drive would be enlightening.

Local man spends a totally normal amount of mental energy on pedophiles.

Projection or not, that's just such a weird thing to do. I once met a girl who had a swastika tattoo that was crossed through. I mean i get it, but you still got a swastika tattoo.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yeah the only way that tattoo isn’t utterly deranged is if you were formerly a nazi who came to latter renounce those beliefs.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Unless of course they were innocent in the first place and the real pedophile still runs around.

Society always needs some group to bogeyman such that animalistic aggression and hatred can be levied against them without any consequence. We say we're a civilized society, but I dare you to find someone who would be willing to say "I think people who are sexually attracted to children and haven't offended are not necessarily evil monsters, and they need support" without a crowd throwing rocks at them.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

And the Boogeyman is never Billionaires...

Which is absolutely sad.

Prison should be a place for rehabilitation, with the goal of returning them to society better than when they entered. But prison, at least in the US, is more a place to lock away and punish undesirables. I'm 100% against the death penalty and would prefer to spend our tax dollars trying to rehabilitate even those we deem "unredeemable," they'll be locked up anyway, we might as well give them a realistic shot of becoming positive members of society.

prison, at least in the US

Yeah, US prisons are particularly horrific for an otherwise well-developed country. Some of the Scandinavian countries (Norway?) do prison way better.

Counterclockwise is pretty funny too.

DEAD DON'T REOFFEND PEDOPHILES

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Considering how many dickheads have turned 'pedo' in to the new godwin, i don't think we should be arming them

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Could just expand that to all rapists.

I would absolutely remove the "Don't" from his vehicle
