To be fair, the problem is that these groups are going after people IRL, as per the article

    The pedophile hate is new and weird to me. They’ve always existed but now it’s weapons free to hunt them. Feels like society has run out of acceptable targets and has landed on pedos. And who can argue against that?

    Isn’t it weird that we don’t hunt down any other sort of foul human? Serial murderers are celebrated on TV shows. My wife watches true crime shows and I will not not relay the stories, but fucking children is often the least of their crimes.

    OK, I'll give ya one.

    In one story a family starved their 12-yo daughter to death. Locked in the basement, begging and pleading for any food.

    My only thought is that so many kids were abused that we’re finally rising up and saying, “Enough!” But there are far worse humans our there than kid fuckers.

      Honestly, I think some people want to hurt people and pick pedophiles because they know people will view their vigilantism more favorably.

      Is this an argument that relies on as a central point and fails to mention the difference between being a pedophile and acting on it aka child rape? Or the dumbest shit I’ve ever read?
