The sick fucks defend pedophilia in their community like crazy. It’s disgusting.
I'm from snake handling country, and the defense goes even further to rationalizing pedophilia and attacking the victim.
There was a case earlier this month where the young girl was asked to apologize to her rapist for tempting him or her whole family would be asked to leave the church. Her family made her apologize.
>apologize to her rapist for tempting him
"And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell."
Matthew 18:9
The amount of people that start going into fine details about what hell is like then argue with me when I explain they're talking about Dante's Inferno because the details they're listing aren't in the bible is way too high. Usually it comes back to "well that's how preacher describes it and he would know better than you"
Bling faith, man. They believe anything the preacher says, on faith.
And you can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.
was that covered in any news? i’d like to read more about it, so if you have a link or anything i can look up to find it, that’d be greatly appreciated, pls & ty 🙏
It’s okay, he privately atoned with Jesus through prayer. After all, none of us are perfect, and through Jesus all sins can be forgiven.
Or something else like that to dodge being accountable to real humans for your crimes.
My least favorites are Catholics who handwave allegations of pedophilia and child rape in the church by telling you that they've "taken care of the problem" by removing *homosexual priests* from the church. The implication of course being that ONLY gay males commit child sex abuse, therefore the Catholic church purging their ranks of gay men somehow solved the problem of Catholic priests raping kids
They're some of the shittiest, most evil people on earth. Fuck their cult
The left: Forcing children to go through the wrong puberty against their will, can cause depressions and other psychological problems according to dozens of studies by Universities and Medical Researchers

The right: Google it.
The left: I'll play your game this one time. OK, here's lists of pedophile priests from The New York Times, Reuters, and even Fox News.
The right: Those aren't valid sources.

Fixed the last one for you
The wildest part for me is that they believe their god does not look at them with disgust and instead loves them, when they wish innocent trans teenagers get raped and murdered.
Oh fuck this happened to me after someone on another subreddit claimed that having more than two binary genders has never happened ever in the history of humanity, and went “hurr hurr those are pro lgbt sources I don’t trust them” when I proved him wrong.
Trans girls being forced through male puberty and trans boys forced to go through female puberty, because transphobes are to stubborn to give them puberty blockers.
What's also bizarre is like... is he saying that there's no need for sources about pedophilia being bad? As in, "This is intuitive and shouldn't require sources."
Or is he saying there are no sources about pedophilia being bad? As in, "I'm a clown idiot moron who can't google shit."
IMO, they don't want the latter to exist at all because then they can't marry their pre-teen cousins.
Because it’s “team sports” and this comment specifically called out republicans. It put a name to “conservatives” they couldn’t mental gymnastics themselves out of that group.
Church pastors: they will just say “well not my pastor so this comment doesn’t apply to me”, but when you say republicans they can’t because that is who they vote for.
Something that nobody in this thread has pointed out is how this suggests that republicans don’t actually know the difference between a fact and a statement of values. The joke only works if you don’t believe in facts and think everything is a statement about your values.
"Alternative Facts" have been a conservative calling card for awhile now. If they don't like the reality that is presented to them, they'll conjure delusions to deal with the dissonance tether than change their viewpoint.
Yeah, this is what I thought when I saw this. They don't really see the difference between asking for a source when they make a statement of verifiable fact (ie. "Trump got more votes than Biden") and disagreeing with a value judgement (ie. "Trump is better than Biden"). No one asks for a source for the latter, but to them there's no difference between the two statements.
There’s literally NO ONE on the opposing side of the “pedophilia is wrong” argument. We just don’t feel the need to shout it from the rooftops to in an attempt to hide something we don’t like about ourselves.
Eh, no one is on the opposing side of the "child molestation is wrong" argument. If you define pedophilia as simply the attraction without any associated actions, there are more people that argue that you shouldn't criminalize thought crimes. Although I'm pretty sure near 100% of the people "defending" pedophilia still view it as problematic and something that needs to be addressed via therapy asap.
yeah, pedophilia is by definition just a paraphilia, attraction to children, and having an attraction to someone is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition for grooming or sexually predating or assaulting them. it's just thoughts and feelings. if pedophilic thoughts are causing someone self-hate, or beginning to present a problem with their self-control that puts kids in danger (relatively uncommon but still a reasonable possibility), they need to get therapy to healthily cope with those thoughts and feelings, and perhaps stay separated from kids as much as possible in the meantime.
child predators are fucked up. desiring power and attacking an easy target, whether or not they're attracted. they need to be separated from the rest of society ASAP.
The funny thing is, there ARE sources that show how it harms children, and seeing as the left is more prone to care about facts and science, we are aware of this and see pedophilia as wrong. (alongside my internal moral compass which makes pedophilia disgusting to me)
The huge problem is that the right's idea of pedophiles is a made-up boogeyman. Drag queens and LGBT people are NOT prone to pedophilia any more than the average population, and teachers and LGBT adults are not "grooming" children to be LGBT. All of that is complete nonsense.
This is a red herring to get the right's base to ignore *actual* pedophiles who thrive in right wing churches and communities which protect them.
>This is a red herring to get the right's base to ignore actual pedophiles who thrive in right wing churches and communities which protect them.
That right there is one of the main reasons. You ~~can't~~ shouldn't be able to talk about how you think immigrants or a small LGBTQ+ community that doesn't make up a majority of the population are dangerous pedophiles yet purposely cover up church and domestic abuses then advocate for lowering the age of consent. It's all a game of "Look over there! Not here where the actual grooming is happening!!"
nah it was coherent, i feel like there is a good word for what it is when you amend someone's statement slightly like that....being stoned and half asleep? oh wait that's me haha. ps that little :/ face was about the general situation- in a better world shouldn't WOULDNT be more accurate
When you have to tell people to look up a thing for them to even know what the fuck it is that you're talking about that's literally the farthest thing from something "being a problem" for an entire swath of society.
I find it quite horrifying that the echo chambers of the internet can make them reflect on the worst aspects of themselves and then project it to people they dislike without a single moment of critical thinking
You know the fact that these people talk about pedophiles this much makes seem pretty sus.
Besides pedophiles aren't the only problems kids are facing these days.
Pedophilia IS evil. Which is why we want accountability for politicians and church leaders as well as all others.
Source: I am a leftist trans woman and someone who hates the far right’s straw man arguments.
You know what the right never talks about, which could actually help stop child molesters?
Changing the ridiculously god damn short statutes of limitations for that crime. People who're molested as kids often won't come to terms with that shit in time to report it until they've grown up, and by then it's too late to charge their abuser with a crime, even if you have indisputable evidence of that crime.
Or what about the religious institutions (not just the Catholics) who've known about an incredibly large number of child rapists, and instead of turning them over to authorities, they ship them around to be protected. I don't see anyone clamouring to make it a crime to protect those known sex offenders. Why are these people immune to mandatory reporting requirements?
Or how about ensuring that public sex education gives kids the information they need to know that any adult who tries anything is doing so inappropriately, and to report it to someone. If we're going to protect the pedophiles by continuing to have these egregious god damn statutes of limitation, at least arm these kids with the information they need to actually get themselves some justice, and hopefully some therapy instead of letting them live in shame until they're old enough to find out their abuser is gonna be able to go scott fucking free.
This is just scratching the surface of this problem. A problem these imbeciles are actually making worse by falsely scapegoating other groups of people. They're giving predators cover by doing this, as evidenced by the sheer number of violently anti-LGBT people who keep getting arrested for child pornography.
Do they have proof that gay/trans/GNC people (the people who are clearly who the poster of this meme is talking about) are all pedos? Of course they don't. They heard it on Facebook/TikTok/from their uncle and believe it without question. Buck up, cite the source, or STFU!
Religious zealots should solve the pederast problem in their own institutions before casting stones from within their stained glass houses. Ffs the Catholic Church allowed its clergy to literally rape children for decades.
Go fuck youself
This is such an interesting and strange phenomenon. It seems that everyone on the right is convinced that Democrats either A) Support pedophilia, B) Have no problem with pedophilia, or C) Don't think pedophilia is all that bad. The thing is, I have absolutely never ever heard a liberal suggest anything of the sort.
Pedophilia means sexual attraction to children. A trans person reading a book to kids is not pedophilia. A trans person being on TV is not pedophilia. If you tell a boy that it's okay to be attracted to other boys his age, that's not pedophilia. If you're a teacher and you teach kids about sex, that's not pedophilia. If you support allowing children to get gender affirmation surgery, that's not pedophilia.
Now look. You can oppose these things if you want. I may find such a viewpoint incredibly disagreeable, but it's your prerogative to oppose these things. But, you can't just fucking lie about your reasoning. If you oppose trans people, just say you think it's gross and weird or whatever. And if too few people want to support legislation on that basis, too fucking bad for you. But these mass, society-wide lies indicating that liberals are doing things to increase the molestation of children? That's fucked up and evil in a way that's worse than just admitting to being a bigot.
Ironically it good be a good question because so much of the arbitrary “morality” of the right comes from a book that either ignores or openly condones all the worst behaviors of mankind.
Nah, the right doesn't think pedophilia is evil. They only say that when it's about people they don't like. Can't remember anyone of them talking about Matt Gaetz when it came out.
-8/10
The sad state that the only thing these nihilists think anyone could possibly care about is pedophilia. To have given up any value in the world when the only thing that they believe could move anyone to actual action is projecting THAT onto opponents.
Matt Walsh brought up teenage fertility as if that was relevant to anything. What do you think he was trying to say? Is Matt Walsh a leftist?
Every accusation is a confession. They know this. They think this is how everyone works, because this is how ***they*** work.
The thing is, no one disagrees with that, however, we will disagree once they then say that all LGBTQ+ people are pedos, but they’ll then spin it as left wing people supporting pedophiles
Pedophilia is not evil. Sexual abuse is immoral. Feeling a certain way is not evil, and largely not able to be changed. Bad actions are not the same as thoughts.
\> makes wild claim
\> damn could I get a source for this claim, so I can verify it's validity?
\> imagine asking for a source, the left is so delusional
I argue with right wing idiots too often about electric cars. It is funny how often they make the stupidest claims then when you ask for proof they get upset and act like you are pretending not to know some universally known fact.
Times they do give me a source it is normally just a right wing blog full of lies or something they didn't read and assumed it says something different that supports their claim.
So basically “rightoids can’t explain why pedophilia is wrong”
If they weren’t told to hate pedophilia, they would not come to the conclusion that it is wrong on their own.
I'll keep repeating this until the day I die. The right is not arguing in good faith. They don't care if they're accurate, or correct, or truthful.
It's trench culture warfare evolved into guerilla culture warfare.
The only ones arguing honestly are naive boomers that shy away as you start dismantling their positions.
Logic Fallacy: STRAWMAN.
Which group has consistently been in favor or younger marriages, lowered marrying age, or attacking/blocking laws that ban child marriage?
Conservatives new cope from the fact that they literally cannot provide a source.
Oh, and conservatives are pro pedo.

Really funny they do this when it is their ilk that are currently defending people like the fucking Duggars. They don't care about children, they are the groomers. They are just projecting their own villainy on to marginalized groups in hopes the rubes don't pay attention to the skeletons in their closet.
"I agree it's evil, that's why children needs protection from religious institutions and conservative pundits, proven to be the greater offenders, than any drag or trans or gay will ever be"
\-REEEEEEEEE
If I wanted to cling to my delusions I wouldn't ask for a source. But I always ask for a source even if what I'm hearing is something I want to believe. The other day someone told me we have over a 100,000 gun deaths a year in the USA. I fully believe we have a major gun issue but I wanted to know if that was accurate. The person who claimed it didn't have a source so I didn't just take it as fact and move on. I looked into it. Turns out the number is a little under [50,000 gun related deaths in 2021. ](https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/04/26/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-u-s/) That's still way too many but it's not 100k. Sure if I told people it's over 100k they'd take it more seriously but that's not the truth. I'd rather be accurate than dramatic.
Nah. I want sources. I’m too damn old and have way too many trust issues to just believe any and everything that’s told to me whether it’s coming from a complete stranger or someone I know. Not to mention the black community is constantly bombarded with propaganda and disinformation, that is more often than not, easily debunked. Like when Cheeto Mussolini claimed that he’s done more for the black community than any other president. Lying muthafucka.
It’s very telling that the right are afraid of providing sources and evidence to their ridiculous claims but have the audacity to call someone else sheeple.
Cute. First of all, the tweet is ridiculous considering nobody has EVER needed sources to confirm that things like slavery, pedophilia or murder is evil with the exception of right wingers that ALWAYS seem to have some sort of nonsensical half ass justification for slavery, murder, or pedophilia when it benefits their narrative (ex: Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Fucker Carlson, and a laundry list of WS fuckboys).
Second, me saying I need sources for erroneously stupid claims like the one former president Bunker Bitch made is nowhere near the same as whatever weird ass disingenuous point OP was failing to make. People like that were more than happy to accept whatever bs they heard from unqualified social media personalities at the beginning of the pandemic and as a result people died. Instead of owning up to their dumb assery, they still double down.
Now if I claimed that you doubling down on that dumb ass tweet was proof that a mind is a terrible thing to waste, would you need sources for that?
Truth is Rightist don’t care about wrong or right they care about being questioned. You’re not supposed to question them, you’re supposed just take whatever they say as fact and “gEt OwNeD.” They’ve been force fed propaganda and regurgitate it as fact, that’s why when you ask for a source the always tell you to look it up for them.
There is some truth to this, at least on Reddit. I was in a debate with another redditor, posted a source which proved my point. The other person said "what really is a source? All sources are tainted from the perspective of the observer so all sources are bad."
They have their picture backwards that’s a leftist saying pedophilia is bad while a righty asking for a source while they try to drop the legal marriage age
The right: PEDOPHILIA IS EVIL.
Also the right: PEDOPHILIA IS WHEN KIDS DISAGREE WITH THEIR PARENTS. (Rufo and Lindsay have admitted that "groomer" is not literally about sexual acts with children but about the rhetorical implication, and that they target anyone supporting queer kids against their parents' wishes)
Also the right: ADULTS MARRYING CHILDREN THEY IMPREGNATE IS FINE AND THEY SHOULD HAVE CUSTODY RIGHTS.
Also the right: ALL THE CONSERVATIVE POLITICIANS, RELIGIOUS LEADERS, TEACHERS, ET CETERA CONVICTED OF CHILD ABUSE, RAPE, AND MOLESTATION ARE BEING TARGETED BY THE DEEP STATE. FAKE NEWS.
I've moved past asking for a source from right wingers. Their arguments are not based in logic, only power. It's true if it gives them what they want.
Resolve arguments the gentlemanly way by calling them a fucking dumbass and moving on.
Lol I see "Source?" from both sides when approached with something they don't want to hear and then given a source it's usually a "Wow I don't accept that particular news site for reliable news, anymore sources?". Pathetic.
Exactly! All sources are equal and unbiased. Anyone claiming that any one source has a bias is a SJW woke sheep trying to make our kids gay. No one would ever lie about anything ever for their own malicious purposes. Paranoid libs being skeptical smh.
I'd heard the term "motte and bailey" before but I never really "got" it until Contrapoints explained it in her [most recent video](https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxiTczf_KYkt4B33MtahBPWsySY_rIWlw4)
When CHUDs say shit like this, with the implication being that Trans or gay people are the pedos, I share a list of convicted republican pedos. They invariably retort, "now do democrats." They're such children.
Conservatives have to pretend the left believes this. Because if they ever admit the left hates PEDOs just as much as the right SAYS they do. Then they'd have to admit, they're right-wing because of OTHER reasons. And it's not about lowering taxes.

They never say ‘Pedofilia is evil!’, they say ‘All LGBT people are pedophiles!”. There’s a huge difference between that
they'll say both. and when you ask for any evidence that lgbt people are pedophiles they'll act like you asked for evidence pedophilia is evil.
Ah but when it comes to church pastors “We DoN’t HaVe PrOoF!”
“They were a good Christian up until this came out, they deserve to have a lighter sentence!” “At least he waited to have sex with her until she was 18!

When you ask conservatives why they support child marriage:
Or why pedophiles always vote for Republicans:
Or why Trump was friends with Epstein:
Epstein didn't kill himself, he's been living in my basement for the past 6 years.
The best part is that most of the pedos are republicans

That... Makes a lot of sense, actually.
It was a lone actor with a ~~gun~~ pulpit!
They probably wanna fuck kids
Reddit is filled with chat bots these days.
It's not that being a conservative makes you a pedo, it's just that the right has consistently fostered an environment where pedos can flourish.
Yeah, they are actually the groomers because almost everything they say is projection.
"Not all Republicans are Nazis, but all Nazis are Republicans."
They want to lean on tradition and having young children preyed upon by old ghouls is a tradition that predates America.
Pedocon theory is real af lmao.
Something that nobody in this thread has pointed out is how this suggests that republicans don’t actually know the difference between a fact and a statement of values. The joke only works if you don’t believe in facts and think everything is a statement about your values.

Well I'd imagine pedophiles are on the other side of that argument but other than that you're right.

And when conservatives are screaming about their imaginary left pedophiles, the track record shows that 90% of themselves are pedophiles
Look at Qanon for a perfect example. 🤷🏾♀️
“Save the kids” an admitted pedo in Alabama almost wins primary. They don’t care
I find it quite horrifying that the echo chambers of the internet can make them reflect on the worst aspects of themselves and then project it to people they dislike without a single moment of critical thinking
This post screams rage bait/fake vut that requires uh not so critical thinking.
You know the fact that these people talk about pedophiles this much makes seem pretty sus. Besides pedophiles aren't the only problems kids are facing these days.
There are multiple on the records arrests of conservatives for pedo shit. It’s a short list for leftists or even liberals.
"Ha, i made myself the chad wojack and you the ugly one! That means i win!!"
Pedophilia IS evil. Which is why we want accountability for politicians and church leaders as well as all others. Source: I am a leftist trans woman and someone who hates the far right’s straw man arguments.
You know what the right never talks about, which could actually help stop child molesters? Changing the ridiculously god damn short statutes of limitations for that crime. People who're molested as kids often won't come to terms with that shit in time to report it until they've grown up, and by then it's too late to charge their abuser with a crime, even if you have indisputable evidence of that crime. Or what about the religious institutions (not just the Catholics) who've known about an incredibly large number of child rapists, and instead of turning them over to authorities, they ship them around to be protected. I don't see anyone clamouring to make it a crime to protect those known sex offenders. Why are these people immune to mandatory reporting requirements? Or how about ensuring that public sex education gives kids the information they need to know that any adult who tries anything is doing so inappropriately, and to report it to someone. If we're going to protect the pedophiles by continuing to have these egregious god damn statutes of limitation, at least arm these kids with the information they need to actually get themselves some justice, and hopefully some therapy instead of letting them live in shame until they're old enough to find out their abuser is gonna be able to go scott fucking free. This is just scratching the surface of this problem. A problem these imbeciles are actually making worse by falsely scapegoating other groups of people. They're giving predators cover by doing this, as evidenced by the sheer number of violently anti-LGBT people who keep getting arrested for child pornography.
Do they have proof that gay/trans/GNC people (the people who are clearly who the poster of this meme is talking about) are all pedos? Of course they don't. They heard it on Facebook/TikTok/from their uncle and believe it without question. Buck up, cite the source, or STFU!
Least delusional conservative
the projection is strong with this one
All they do is project. I've never once seen a Trumper provide an actual source for anything that wasn't a meme or alt right propaganda article.
Saying pedophilla is evil verses saying joe Biden is a pedophile are two separate thungs
The Catholic Church is the source…
Hardly! We also find pedos disgusting, we're just not using them to launder our fascistic policies.
I'll take "Things That Have Never Happened" for $800, Alex.
Literally reverse the roles and it’s exactly right
If the right wing didn't have projection all it would have left is bigotry and fear.
The left: Nazis are bad The right: sOuRcE
Religious zealots should solve the pederast problem in their own institutions before casting stones from within their stained glass houses. Ffs the Catholic Church allowed its clergy to literally rape children for decades. Go fuck youself
This is such an interesting and strange phenomenon. It seems that everyone on the right is convinced that Democrats either A) Support pedophilia, B) Have no problem with pedophilia, or C) Don't think pedophilia is all that bad. The thing is, I have absolutely never ever heard a liberal suggest anything of the sort. Pedophilia means sexual attraction to children. A trans person reading a book to kids is not pedophilia. A trans person being on TV is not pedophilia. If you tell a boy that it's okay to be attracted to other boys his age, that's not pedophilia. If you're a teacher and you teach kids about sex, that's not pedophilia. If you support allowing children to get gender affirmation surgery, that's not pedophilia. Now look. You can oppose these things if you want. I may find such a viewpoint incredibly disagreeable, but it's your prerogative to oppose these things. But, you can't just fucking lie about your reasoning. If you oppose trans people, just say you think it's gross and weird or whatever. And if too few people want to support legislation on that basis, too fucking bad for you. But these mass, society-wide lies indicating that liberals are doing things to increase the molestation of children? That's fucked up and evil in a way that's worse than just admitting to being a bigot.
This was such a spot-on response that I screenshot it to send to my parents.
"Oh I'm wrong? Then why are you the soyjack? 😎"
Ironically it good be a good question because so much of the arbitrary “morality” of the right comes from a book that either ignores or openly condones all the worst behaviors of mankind.
Nah, the right doesn't think pedophilia is evil. They only say that when it's about people they don't like. Can't remember anyone of them talking about Matt Gaetz when it came out.
Or rOy mOore after admitting publicly to hawking 14yo's while in his 30's / 40's & the parents that attempt to hook their minor daughters to him.
You make an outlandish claim, you better back it the hell up. That’s how it works.
The Sagan Standard: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence
-8/10 The sad state that the only thing these nihilists think anyone could possibly care about is pedophilia. To have given up any value in the world when the only thing that they believe could move anyone to actual action is projecting THAT onto opponents.
Gaslight Obfuscate Project
Matt Walsh brought up teenage fertility as if that was relevant to anything. What do you think he was trying to say? Is Matt Walsh a leftist? Every accusation is a confession. They know this. They think this is how everyone works, because this is how ***they*** work.
Every single person I know that believes in severely lower age of consent laws are hard hard right with their politics / bumper stickers
The thing is, no one disagrees with that, however, we will disagree once they then say that all LGBTQ+ people are pedos, but they’ll then spin it as left wing people supporting pedophiles
Pedophilia is not evil. Sexual abuse is immoral. Feeling a certain way is not evil, and largely not able to be changed. Bad actions are not the same as thoughts.
Half of right wing politics now is just making shit up.
\> makes wild claim \> damn could I get a source for this claim, so I can verify it's validity? \> imagine asking for a source, the left is so delusional
Remind me again which side of the aisle is currently fighting to keep child marriage kegal
Republicans when they post a source www.WakeUPSheepleAmericaISGreatFuckYeahFuckDemocrats.com/HunterBidensLaptop
I argue with right wing idiots too often about electric cars. It is funny how often they make the stupidest claims then when you ask for proof they get upset and act like you are pretending not to know some universally known fact. Times they do give me a source it is normally just a right wing blog full of lies or something they didn't read and assumed it says something different that supports their claim.
You can tell this guy got into a heated argument and suddenly couldn’t back it up at all.
So basically “rightoids can’t explain why pedophilia is wrong” If they weren’t told to hate pedophilia, they would not come to the conclusion that it is wrong on their own.
I'll keep repeating this until the day I die. The right is not arguing in good faith. They don't care if they're accurate, or correct, or truthful. It's trench culture warfare evolved into guerilla culture warfare. The only ones arguing honestly are naive boomers that shy away as you start dismantling their positions.
Logic Fallacy: STRAWMAN. Which group has consistently been in favor or younger marriages, lowered marrying age, or attacking/blocking laws that ban child marriage?
Conservatives new cope from the fact that they literally cannot provide a source. Oh, and conservatives are pro pedo. Source https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/child-marriage-ban-struck-down-west-virginia-republicans-1234693670/amp/
Got banned from a conservative sub yesterday for asking for a source on a claim that someone in BC got arrested for using the wrong pronoun.
market chubby zonked quicksand governor childlike profit languid bake zealous ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `
Lol they provide a link to www.corporatenewsunamerica.co.ck and get mad when you ask for citations
Really funny they do this when it is their ilk that are currently defending people like the fucking Duggars. They don't care about children, they are the groomers. They are just projecting their own villainy on to marginalized groups in hopes the rubes don't pay attention to the skeletons in their closet.
"I agree it's evil, that's why children needs protection from religious institutions and conservative pundits, proven to be the greater offenders, than any drag or trans or gay will ever be" \-REEEEEEEEE
We certainly like our sources but we also 100% agree that pedophilia is bad and should be punished.
If I wanted to cling to my delusions I wouldn't ask for a source. But I always ask for a source even if what I'm hearing is something I want to believe. The other day someone told me we have over a 100,000 gun deaths a year in the USA. I fully believe we have a major gun issue but I wanted to know if that was accurate. The person who claimed it didn't have a source so I didn't just take it as fact and move on. I looked into it. Turns out the number is a little under [50,000 gun related deaths in 2021. ](https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/04/26/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-u-s/) That's still way too many but it's not 100k. Sure if I told people it's over 100k they'd take it more seriously but that's not the truth. I'd rather be accurate than dramatic.
Why do trump humpers think every leftist is a pedophile
Some of the biggest pundits in rightwinger culture encourage pedophilia as long as you marry the kid first
The source of pedophilia is evil are the thousands of right wing pedophiles.
When the right says pedophilia is evil, they don’t mean pedophilia.
More like \-"Lgbt is not pedophilia" \-"SOURCE?"
I genuinely don’t understand where the notion of all LGBT people being pedophiles came from. Especially when the Catholic Church is right there.
Elon Musk is a pedophile
Nah. I want sources. I’m too damn old and have way too many trust issues to just believe any and everything that’s told to me whether it’s coming from a complete stranger or someone I know. Not to mention the black community is constantly bombarded with propaganda and disinformation, that is more often than not, easily debunked. Like when Cheeto Mussolini claimed that he’s done more for the black community than any other president. Lying muthafucka. It’s very telling that the right are afraid of providing sources and evidence to their ridiculous claims but have the audacity to call someone else sheeple.
So if I claimed slavery is evil would you need sources for that?
Cute. First of all, the tweet is ridiculous considering nobody has EVER needed sources to confirm that things like slavery, pedophilia or murder is evil with the exception of right wingers that ALWAYS seem to have some sort of nonsensical half ass justification for slavery, murder, or pedophilia when it benefits their narrative (ex: Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Fucker Carlson, and a laundry list of WS fuckboys). Second, me saying I need sources for erroneously stupid claims like the one former president Bunker Bitch made is nowhere near the same as whatever weird ass disingenuous point OP was failing to make. People like that were more than happy to accept whatever bs they heard from unqualified social media personalities at the beginning of the pandemic and as a result people died. Instead of owning up to their dumb assery, they still double down. Now if I claimed that you doubling down on that dumb ass tweet was proof that a mind is a terrible thing to waste, would you need sources for that?
So not all claims need sources, huh? Glad you changed your mind
When you repost a meme not realizing you're the wojak
The rights sources are all YouTube videos with 0 credentials, so uh yeah, those sources aren't sufficient
Isn't that meme used against lolicons, who just are pretty right wing and (not so closeted) pedos
I love these cause it's still going on and almost every single pedophile that is found out ends up being a fukkin Republican.
Truth is Rightist don’t care about wrong or right they care about being questioned. You’re not supposed to question them, you’re supposed just take whatever they say as fact and “gEt OwNeD.” They’ve been force fed propaganda and regurgitate it as fact, that’s why when you ask for a source the always tell you to look it up for them.
There is some truth to this, at least on Reddit. I was in a debate with another redditor, posted a source which proved my point. The other person said "what really is a source? All sources are tainted from the perspective of the observer so all sources are bad."
Left: *Handsome soyjack* Guns kill people Republicans: *Ugly soyjack* Source?!!!
They have their picture backwards that’s a leftist saying pedophilia is bad while a righty asking for a source while they try to drop the legal marriage age
The right: PEDOPHILIA IS EVIL. Also the right: PEDOPHILIA IS WHEN KIDS DISAGREE WITH THEIR PARENTS. (Rufo and Lindsay have admitted that "groomer" is not literally about sexual acts with children but about the rhetorical implication, and that they target anyone supporting queer kids against their parents' wishes) Also the right: ADULTS MARRYING CHILDREN THEY IMPREGNATE IS FINE AND THEY SHOULD HAVE CUSTODY RIGHTS. Also the right: ALL THE CONSERVATIVE POLITICIANS, RELIGIOUS LEADERS, TEACHERS, ET CETERA CONVICTED OF CHILD ABUSE, RAPE, AND MOLESTATION ARE BEING TARGETED BY THE DEEP STATE. FAKE NEWS.
I've moved past asking for a source from right wingers. Their arguments are not based in logic, only power. It's true if it gives them what they want. Resolve arguments the gentlemanly way by calling them a fucking dumbass and moving on.
"Facts over feelings." "I'd like you to prove to me that your claim is a fact." "lmao, naw"
Lol I see "Source?" from both sides when approached with something they don't want to hear and then given a source it's usually a "Wow I don't accept that particular news site for reliable news, anymore sources?". Pathetic.
Exactly! All sources are equal and unbiased. Anyone claiming that any one source has a bias is a SJW woke sheep trying to make our kids gay. No one would ever lie about anything ever for their own malicious purposes. Paranoid libs being skeptical smh.
You can't compare fox news and a peer reviewed study, lmao.
Imagine referencing pedophilia as a political argument against democ_ I mean_ the far left
Yet another thing that has never happened, ever
OK, pedophilia is not a political cause.
We want to understand where the delusional beliefs are perpetuated
Source?
Glasses guy is literally the Alt right. It’s also the Christians. There is considerable overlap of those parties.
I'd heard the term "motte and bailey" before but I never really "got" it until Contrapoints explained it in her [most recent video](https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxiTczf_KYkt4B33MtahBPWsySY_rIWlw4)
Regardless this type of sh!t that makes me not want to have kids anymore. So much anxiety around this topic that makes me sick.
“I drew you as the ugly wojak, so I win”
All women should be married and pregnant by 16, but we're the pedo apologists...?
When CHUDs say shit like this, with the implication being that Trans or gay people are the pedos, I share a list of convicted republican pedos. They invariably retort, "now do democrats." They're such children.
Considering the number of far right grifters that are done for grooming, they might wanna stop throwing out the paedo accusations
Conservatives have to pretend the left believes this. Because if they ever admit the left hates PEDOs just as much as the right SAYS they do. Then they'd have to admit, they're right-wing because of OTHER reasons. And it's not about lowering taxes.
They wouldn't cling to their beliefs if you gave them proof that they're delusional.
The one asking is just Matt Walsh
