He looks like a pedophile.

He may be but can we not equate pedophilia with a certain look? It let's a lot of bad people get away with it and throws innocent people in harms way.

They do have a certain look. Just go on one of those Megan's law registers online and look at the pictures for a while. That weird smile

The ones that get caught may fit your internal bias, but that doesn't mean that all people who look like that are pedophiles or that all pedophiles look a certain way. You're letting attractive people who molest children get away with it more easily by thinking that.

I am not letting anyone get away with anything. I am not a LEO

Establishing a culture of "pedophiles are always ugly" is letting attractive pedophiles get away with it.

You surely have some peer-approved scientific sources to for your claims? Also, "can we not" automatically makes me think of you as some brain dead meme kid with no identity other than being "good at" social media.

What? You don't need a peer reviewed study to know that pedophilia has absolutely nothing to do with a person's physical appearance.

Then you also don’t need that for the opposite. See how that works?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

you're literally the one that brought up peer reviewed studies you soggy napkin

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You started with the unfounded claims, so glasshouses and stones.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No I didn't, the original comment did claiming that pedophiles have a certain look

I stand corrected: You didn’t start, but you piled on with the unfounded claims.
