As a conspiratorial-minded chap, is this an opportunistic ploy, or was this movie specifically designed to function as a Trojan Horse to accelerate a fascist agenda of mass censorship?
Or just empty politics as usual? Something about this feels... different...
Pedophile is a state of mind, molesting children is an act (and not exclusive to pedos). When someone says "pedos deserve the wall" without the distinction, that's thought crime territory. Of course some people would be ok with that, but I agree with OP about moral panic slippery slopes, and homosexuality and trans issues would be next.
