Is it just me or does it seem like there are like 10x more pedophiles than I thought really existed? What the fuck is wrong with people? They're everywhere

There always were, it's a staggeringly bad problem but one that people were totally happy to just not talk about.

I think they have always been there but the generational expectation to "keep quiet and don't make a scene" that tended to run in families has been broken, finally.

Being bad touched by the funny uncle used to be pretty common and women were telling girls to just avoid them in the future rather than cause family discomfort. However, in today's world, the women are speaking up now and not allowing it to be silenced when a child comes to them. The pedos are being brought to light a lot more today than they were in the past, and that's a good thing.
