  They’re going to attack LGBT people and say they’re pedos for being LGBT.

  Or very likely make mistakes. Vigilantes is nice in comic books and movies, in real life it turns terrible very quickly.

  Just prove you’re not a pedo and they will leave you alone.

      I never use /s. /s is the training wheels of online comments. /s is for cowards. Ride or die baby!

      If anyone takes me seriously, it’s their own damn fault.

  Sad because actual paedos gonna be like “who, not me, someone cried wolf on me!”… As someone who was trafficked and abused with my sister and then even after she got out, I’ve heard them laugh about paedos caught in the news and act like they’re not exactly that. Meanwhile the people who actually hurt me stayed or died free because you also see on the news how false accusations ruin innocent people’s lives, so it feels like what we say as real victims not only doesn’t matter but will be ignored because sexism is back full-swing and they prefer us women to be seen and not heard once again like the old days. I wish patriarchal societies weren’t hell-bent on using and ending women and children to justify their means of global blackmail control.
