Pedophile detected!
You know, when you say these things about a middle aged trans guy who lives with his spouse and cats, and sits on the internet all day promoting freedom of speech and writing stories about imaginary middle aged war criminals, spies and lawyers, you sound stupid.
You’re not threatening, or sassy, or cool.
You just sound stupid.
You sound stupid and you’re perpetuating the devaluation of the term “pedophile”.
By using the term “pedophile” for any person that writes fanfiction you don’t like, or who promotes freedom of speech you are creating a world in which actual child molesters feel safer and have an easier time hiding.
By throwing the term “pedophile” everywhere and devaluing it you are using it in the same way that conservatives who call all queer people “pedophiles” are using it.
