I have lost good queer friends on this website over this garbage because so many people are buying into it

"Lost" as in, one day just noticed they'd quietly unfollowed me, and knew from circumstantial stuff that the fact that I'm not willing to sit by while new excuses for accusing queer people of being predators are spread and normalized, even among queer people.

It'd be easy enough for me to stay out of this conversation as it doesn't affect me directly, but this shit is causing a great deal of harm, primarily to queer people, and I won't stay silent about that. And if someone wants to unfollow me for that, they weren't a friend anyway.

Has anyone coined a term for this, along the lines of the Satanic panic?

My first thought was "pedo panic" but I would really rather not see that word more frequently than I already have to
