  Except sometimes “pedophile” actually means “trans person just living.” The right claims all trans people are groomers.

    Obviously, if they’re targeting trans people specifically for being trans, i dont support that. But if they got lured by these guys, doesnt it mean they’re pedo’s?

      If someone shows up with the intent to fuck a minor, absolutely, but I guarantee those aren’t the only targets vigilantism catches.

        Well, sounds like a completely different instance then. Not sure why you would bring it up.
