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?
There is also a lot of horny tiktok/youtube/twitch content clearly targeted at pedos. Dressing up as kids, acting childlike. There's only one audience for that.
From what I understand offenders don't actually go for age play kink stuff as much as you would think. The upstanding age play community is pretty strict about policing it and it is most about healing inner child type stuff. So while it can be transgressive, it is no where as transgressive as mainstream society and Hollywood and stuff.
