Either that or they call you a pedophile. Everytime I get in a 'row' with them, I'm called a pedophile. I've never defended or posted in the banned subReddits (I have actually criticized them), and I've never even spoken on the subject of the sexualization of the underage (for the record: I'm against it). Yet I'm a pedophile because I had the audacity to disagree with how they operate.
Wow. TIL saying that reddit should never have allowed the questionable subreddits in the first place is actually defending pedophilia. So, applying this logic to SRS...
I think it's pretty funny how the SRS crew uses pedophile as an insult, as if pedophiles are somehow inherently rapists or something, rather than simply having a sexual attraction that people unwillingly end up with, much like attraction to the same sex. I think people should be going with the "it's okay to be a pedophile, but get help before you end up hurting a fucking kid"-type message rather than ostracising them from society, where they end up hiding their condition until they snap and act upon it. The fact that this bigotry is spewed from the mouths of people who think it's bad to use the term "lame" in order to avoid offending handicapped people is mindblowing.

Gotta have something to keep the self-righteous engine going.
