If I could push a button to change my sex I absolutely would, but I don’t have it in me to transition on the outside and deal with the societal consequences. So I just stick with androgyny as “close enough”.

I used to roll with people like that and no, they are not bloodthirsty savages

Fair enough, I have no doubt there are stable individuals that do it purely on the basis of protecting children, improving the community, maybe even rehabilitating the mentally ill.

I was talking more like the YouTube channel People vs. Preds, who seem to be more interested in the money and fame. They escalate for the views and then all their evidence gets denied in court for not taking proper legal steps. The comments on their videos are vile. You can’t help but think some of these people are only here because this is the acceptable hate.

And that’s the point – his stereotyping is not a rational argument or a good point, it’s meant to remind people of propaganda on the issue they were exposed to all their lives, to trigger an emotional reaction in others, to shut down our critical thinking to lessen the likelihood we’ll reject his insane demands.

…what demands?

or if they are just excited to have found an outlet that allows them to indulge violent desires without jeopardizing their social standing.

I get why people are dunking on this but for real, spend two seconds in a “pedophile hunter” community and tell me this isn’t true.

Is true Communism even possible if it’s being attempted by flawed humans? Seems like it doesn’t matter the economic system so much as the fact that people will ruin anything given enough time.
