"First, pedophiles are not people. They're deranged monsters puked up from the bowels of hell. Hell didn't even want them, that's how bad they are!"

Amen to that @notagame!!

I sound like such a naive idiot (and really, I know I am and it's a fault my therapist says is common thanks to PTSD), but I still cannot wrap my head around the fact there are people who willingly believe that pedophilia isn't a big deal. I mean over 200k signatures on that James Gunn petition..... and I still just.... can't wrap my head around the sickness of people.

i don't think many of the people who signed Gunn's petition actually and literally think he is a pedophile

they're just polemicised by the political tempo and think the attack on Gunn is an unfounded right wing smear campaign. I'm betting most of them havent seen any or at most just one of his pro-pedo posts and wrote it off as edgy humor

This is true. I looked in on a board that is mainly left leaning women, and the ones who looked further into what he wrote were righteously pissed and they absolutely agree that he's sick and deserved to be fired. But the ones who just read the narrative, without the tweets figure that it is an "alt-right" attack on poor Gunn and that he wrote the stuff years ago and since "changed". And that's how its largely being translated in those circles.

Yes, they don't think he's a pedo because they, too, are either pedos or endorse pro pedo culture like posting pedo 'jokes'.
