I'd imagine this guy probably also calls trans folks "groomers" too.
Why is it that men who get the tinniest taste of wealth and power open palm slap the "become a pedophile" button?
His best friend Nickmercs does this as a career now and is absolutely fucking reeling as we speak
Nickmercs literally did this in his response video to the allegations in defense of Dr.Kidinspect.
Protect the children indeed.
I have a sneaking suspicion that most of these pedo cases are not even really because they're necessarily sexually attracted to underage people, it's more of a power trip thing, flexing their wealth and presumed power to do forbidden things just for the sake of it.
It's like eating ortolan, it probably doesn't even taste good, it's just decadence for its own sake, fuck the world, I'm rich, I can do whatever the hell I want to.
I think it's because it's not distinct from the typical predatory and pathological sexuality that a lot of men are socialized into, and how entrenched the infantilization of women is in misogyny in general. They already see women as lesser beings to be owned and used as they please, and have internalized the idea that wealth entitles them to do this and protects them from consequences, so it's a simple matter to expand their range of desired victims from adult women to teenage girls.
And that phenomenon is everywhere in American society and has been deeply entrenched for longer than anyone today has been alive. It's an integral part of American patriarchy and it's only in the past couple of decades that there's been any serious - or at least successful - effort to stamp it out.
