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?

    Not really it's a serious issue that effects all levels of society. And people are only beginning to scratch the surface.

    I'd say the most common and socially accepted from of this is teachers sexually assaulting middle or high school students. Most people won't even think it's a form of pedophilia if a female teacher does this to a male student. They talk about how lucky the student is.
