I cannot stress enough that this trend of suggesting that LGBTQA+ spaces (fandom) are filled to the brim with pedophiles is 100% a mirror of historical tactics used by conservative organizations to restrict gay rights. These kids are attacking LGBTQA+ creators.
The similarities are INSANE between ultra-conservative rhetoric and fanpol rhetoric. Conflating artists and gay media they create with pedophilia is the epitome of conservative hate. They’re like tiny little Anita Bryant’s running around screaming about kids and morality.
A more in-depth essay/article is to come. I have to somehow distill “Sheith” into a single paragraph. I’m trying to keep the whole thing as brief as possible or I’d be writing a book.
