Yeah, but the odds (and advisability) of “normalizing” pedos (despite some movements in the 70’s), similar to how gay people were is…well I think it’s low, for reasons I hope I don’t have to explain. That’s what makes them a useful perennial target, or claim. Universal one too, even people on the left will throw it around as an accusation. It can devolve into arguments about who is or isn’t a valid target for vigilantism (whether they do or don’t fit the category), when the argument should be against vigilantism itself.
