An economic, political, and safety liability all around.

The problem is, they are going for low hanging fruit by targeting unknowns with little to no representation.

Catholic priests have the full force of the Catholic Church to protect them from legal attacks that some dinky YouTuber will not be able to combat.

Also, Catholic priests do not need to go on dating apps or websites where they could potentially get lured because they are most likely targeting the children in their parish, under their direct control.

There are cases of arsonist fire fighters which is an even stronger analogy.

Those who claim to fight fires are often the ones setting them, so they can be seen as the heroes who extinguish them.

There was a similar case that happened on a college campus in America. Five 18 year -old students, all of whom can legally consent, lured a guy toward the dorms through a dating app. When he arrived, the students swarmed him with phones out calling him a pedophile. They are now being charged.

Eh, I don’t find it hilarious as much as I find it extremely unsurprising. Mussolini had been clamoring to merge corporations with the state in order to implement fascism.

These are your corporate fucks forcefully merging themselves as the state.

I’m going to be honest, I’m suspicious of every single ‘pedophile hunter’. They are going after a demographic that people will not rush to defend, even if innocent.

Also, these ‘hunters’ probably have something shady going on in their own lives, and this is some form of projection that they also profit off of.

You’re not wrong. But, majority of the time, I hear white women using the “you don’t support women” argument when, historically, many of them do not care to support black people at all, including a woman, Kamala Harris. Their political track record has proven they’d rather have an outspoken fascist white man as their leader than anyone who is black.

The irony is that Harris is more politically aligned to McCain than Obama was.

I don’t know, it’s quite simple when you view it from a race-perspective.

White women in America do not want a black president, male or female.

In 2008, when Hillary Clinton lost the Democratic primaries, do you think white women rallied behind Obama? Nope. They overwhelmingly switched their party to Republican, so “I can see Canada from my house” Sarah Palin, a white woman, could serve as VP to another old, decrepit white man.

What about in 2016? I personally got shitted on for supporting Bernie Sanders instead of Hillary Clinton, and was called misogynistic by white liberal women.

Oh, and the cherry on top. In 2024, a young, healthy, uncontroversial, educated black woman ran against a vile, bigoted, racist, homophobic, xenophobic, misogynistic, capitalistic septuagenarian. EVERY demographic majority voted for him except black men and women.

As I said, it’s really simple when you view it from a race-perspective.

Yea, just like they oppose Gaza and support Israel’s apartheid

Just yesterday, I read a comment that literally said Greenland doesn’t have to worry about Russia because America was the bigger threat.

Like, yall realize Russian agents have infiltrated the US government and manipulated its election results, right?

Sure, but that was before almost every app was a Nazi app.
