Honestly the only thing worse than a pedophile is a fat pedophile. How are you supposed to fit them in the woodchipper?

I don’t think it’s the mascot’s fault at all, since they started similar communities on multiple instances.

I’m glad to see a growing number of users on E-H and other open instances.

Even the folks who disagree. Good! Some dissent can keep us honest!

The fact taht the mascot changed is hilarious.

Dear Mr Kapow, I did not, and I have not ever posted porn of any type. I have never encouraged pedophilia (which is incidentally a disease some unfortunates are born with. the number of pedophiles does not increase or decrease depending on “encouragement” from randos on the internet), I have never normalized or justified pedophilia (pedophilia is not an action, by the way, it is an attraction. there is nothing anyone can do to become a pedophile or stop being a pedophile. people who are born with it have to deal with it.) The basic facts regarding pedophiles, teenagers, and sex ought to be openly discussed. The fact that you are suppressing that discussion makes everything worse. Taboos silence voices that would provide valuable information that would help to find effective solutions to child abuse.

Let me refer you to Dr David Ley’s article “Performative Rage Over Pedophilia Doesn’t Protect Kids” https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/women-who-stray/202009/performative-rage-over-pedophilia-doesnt-protect-kids

Hysteria does not improve the lives of at risk children. Sober honest discussion can. I encourage you to reassess your approach, keep an open mind, and learn about these issues.

If you disagree with something that I have written I will be happy to discuss it with you. Sincerely, Tasha
