I'm not talking about queer people getting called groomers. I know why that's happening. I'm referring more to a more general fear of pedophilia instead of just repackaged homophobia.

I feel like I'm hearing about it like every other week. For instance, parent bloggers noticing that their engagement skyrockets when they post their kids eating hotdogs or in swimwear. Another example is an increasing trend of people on Pinterest creating walls and albums labelled "hot kids."

I know that elite freaks are all pedos, but is pedophilia an actually growing problem among regular people? It seems to me like when suburbanites freak out about any other thing like BLM or immigrants marching through and razing their communities. Or the crime freakout in the 70s/80s.

Am I being naive and we actually need to be on high alert?

    hiring grown ass adults to play children in the media

    this is nothing new, watch high school movies from the 70s and 80s and it's even more blatant than today. Sissy Spacek was like 27 in Carrie, a movie that begins with a bunch of "high school" girls naked in a locker room

      Personally, I think this is a fine practice (having older actors play younger people). I don't really want kids anywhere near the famously groomy entertainment business.

      The desire of directors and writers to have naked teenage girls is fucking weird though
