He looks like a pedophile.

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

He may be but can we not equate pedophilia with a certain look? It let's a lot of bad people get away with it and throws innocent people in harms way.

They do have a certain look. Just go on one of those Megan's law registers online and look at the pictures for a while. That weird smile

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The ones that get caught may fit your internal bias, but that doesn't mean that all people who look like that are pedophiles or that all pedophiles look a certain way. You're letting attractive people who molest children get away with it more easily by thinking that.

I am not letting anyone get away with anything. I am not a LEO

Establishing a culture of "pedophiles are always ugly" is letting attractive pedophiles get away with it.

You surely have some peer-approved scientific sources to for your claims? Also, "can we not" automatically makes me think of you as some brain dead meme kid with no identity other than being "good at" social media.

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What? You don't need a peer reviewed study to know that pedophilia has absolutely nothing to do with a person's physical appearance.

[–] suction@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Then you also don’t need that for the opposite. See how that works?

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

you're literally the one that brought up peer reviewed studies you soggy napkin

[–] suction@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You started with the unfounded claims, so glasshouses and stones.

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No I didn't, the original comment did claiming that pedophiles have a certain look

[–] suction@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I stand corrected: You didn’t start, but you piled on with the unfounded claims.

Your "surely have some peer-approved scientific sources" automatically makes me think of you as some brain dead meme kid with no identity other than being "good at" social media.

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 2 points 10 months ago

Right? Like it's not a matter of scientific inquiry, it's equivalent to saying "all thieves are black people". You don't need a peer reviewed study to refute that lmao

My QuΓ©becois friend had the perfect expression for this freak: "He looks like he smells like sour milk."
