    Let me make it easy for you: The local CPS agent who has to both uncover pedophiles, as well as deal with the aftermath, would never be caught dead in a shirt like this.

    Anyone wearing a shit like this is projecting HARD. Normal people universally agree that pedophiles are bad. The only people that feel the need to advertise it’s bad, are the ones who secretly are thinking “But I have these urges so other people must too, so I better put it on a shirt to remind everyone it’s bad in case they forget”.

    There’s litearlly no well adjusted adult who thinks you need to remind everyone that pedophiles are bad… that’s just a base assumption. If one of my coworkers showed up tomorrow with a shirt that said “Rapists are bad, don’t rape people” my first thought would be: wait, were you contemplating raping people before you saw that shirt for the first time?

      Is a truism for a reason.

      eh, well adjusted is doing a lot of work there. I know victims, plural, who would happily join a lynch mob if it was going out to hang pedos. I think you have a point about projection, but like everything, there’s few without-exception universals.

        And would any of those people purchase and wear a shirt like this on a regular basis?

          guess what: if they did, I wouldn’t say shit.

          you don’t know what other people have been through. but you seem really confident in casting the pedo accusation around. reminds me of conservatives.

            You’re dodging the question.

            While we’re on the subject of how people “tell me without telling me” This trait you’ve displayed speaks to low emotional intelligence with the advice being, better to keep your mouth shut than remove all doubt.

              I’m in no way obligated to engage with your bullshit. Your entitlement to my time is now revoked. Have a horrible life.

                I think the takeaway from this conversation can be: Don’t wear shirts that talk about murdering anyone if you want to be perceived as normal and well adjusted, they’re weird.

                  yeah not advocating for that, nor defending the people pictured, but I know victims, and if they wanted to tear some pedo apart I would NOT stand in their way.

      I was just watching an Explore With Us video about a guy who was VERY outspoken against paedos.

      …he raped kids.

      What if his father raped him every night, his mother dismissed it, and he wasn’t able to get his teachers or the community to believe him because dad was “such a community role model”?

      That seems like a perfectly sensible reason to want to remind the world that pedophiles are bad. And it happens a lot.

          Got child abused, and the memories aren’t there, but the content of the nightmares suggests the abuse may have been sexual.

            perfectly sensible reason

            The answer is no. People who go through trauma typically don’t go around wearing revenge shirts. Policy shirts, maybe, but a “kill school shooters” shirt would be beyond weird.

                Drag, no one believes you go around with stuff about pedophiles written on your clothing. If you do… well that’s another interesting little bit of information.

                  Drag doesn’t, it’s just… drag understands being full of hate because of your trauma. Drag has empathy for that. What drag doesn’t have empathy for is this argument. Drag doesn’t understand the emotions going on here.

                    When you say, “Sorry for having trauma the wrong way,” when you do not even express your trauma in this performative way, you are weaponizing your trauma to win an argument against strangers on the Internet. Sexual trauma is pervasive. You are well advised to assume whomever you’re speaking with has the same trauma.

        Then he’d be weird as fuck to weird a shirt around advertising his hatred of pedophilia to the world. At some point he’d be expected to process his trauma so he can have healthy relationships with others. This is really basic emotional work we should all do.
