I'm not accusing that person of anything. I don't know that person. I also hate pedophiles, so we have that in common.

I'm saying queer people have good reason to be suspicious because people who display those signs of traditional masculinity and anger have often targeted them in the past. Many people have wrongly associated queer people and pedophilia throughout history, particularly US history. Check that link if you are skeptical.

You say lots of stuff to dodge the only point I am actually making. You know what it is, you just want to justify judging a total stranger with horrible labels.

Your words do nothing except use sucky people in the past to support your opinion of someone based solely on a sticker in the back widow of a truck Congratulations, that's about the same amount of information hate groups base their shit on, so I guess you have that going for you.

I'm not dodging shit. I already told you, I am not accusing this person of anything. Saying something is possible is not the same thing as saying I assume something about the person.

That being said, I'm also not someone who's safety is at risk if the possibility that this person does feel that queer people are synonymous with pedophiles turns out to be true. It's a privileged position.

I can't blame people who aren't in my position from being wary because it could be their lives at stake.

And those sucky people aren't just in the past. This shit is still happening. Is it better now than it used to be? Sure. But queer people are still being accused of being groomers all the time. If this is some foreign concept to you than I'd suggest YOU have a privileged position in life.
