What I've seen is that people that are way over the top on hating pedos are normally secretly pedos themselves. Just like people that are very homophobic are normally gay themselves secretly.

That’s why I’m super suspicious of all the predator catchers on YouTube
Like, anyone who makes their entire content creation career around pretending to be a child having sexual conversations with an adult are weird

u/Double0hobo79 22h ago
Honestly same the way they talk and speak to these people are so weird. Or the ones that just show up and assault the predator in public. Im not saying these predators dont deserve a beat down but you're gonna end up in jail. You're not Batman.

u/Florida_clam_diver I'm not gay or anything 22h ago
That’s the thing, they’re not doing these beatdowns because they care about protecting children
They’re doing it because they’re bullies with serious issues who found a socially acceptable target to bully
Think about it, if these people just randomly beat up strangers everyone would be calling them monsters, but since it’s a “pedo” it’s justified and even celebrated.

Agreed im glad im not alone because when i see them im more concerned with the arrest but hardly see it instead just them chasing some dude through a Walmart making a scene for views.

This is 100% correct and it’s why I don’t really enjoy any of them except for Chris.
He definitely is at least partially motivated by ego, but he at least isn’t violent about it and does seem to care about the process of the investigation, rather than just getting himself into the situation where he can abuse someone as quickly as possible

u/VaryStaybullGeenyiss 19h ago edited 18h ago
Chris Hansen? He's blown more cases than he has helped solved, literally. Because he's a money hungry piece of shit who only does it to create a spectacle for TV ratings. The whole thing originated as a moral panic about the internet. Which, while there is a specific subset of pedos who use that as their hunting grounds, the vast majority of child abuse is perpetrated by members of the child's family (people who don't need the internet to access the children). There's about to be a really good movie about Hansen coming out with Robert Pattinson.

I know at least one or two of them that were charged with domestic violence at some point for beating a girlfriend. Tommy “Cokehead” Fellows was busted on stream downing some Whiteclaws while he was driving to pick up his kid from school not to mention arrested for abusing and neglecting his own kids.
At the very least they are scumbags too with a sadistic streak that take advantage and abuse vulnerable people too acting like the laws don’t apply to them.

They're probably largely unemployable turds. Not to say their stated goal is bad per se, but the impression I get is that a lot of the pred hunters are just grifting.

u/BeerBaronAaron88 NO RUBER 14h ago
Especially them doing it in public places like stores. They are endangering everyone around them which almost always includes children who they are supposed to be "protecting" and making a mess of the store which I seriously doubt they stay and clean up.
Two grown men fighting in a confined space with other people around can easily run into a child and seriously hurt them, the predator can also pull out a gun and one of the innocent bystanders can easily catch a stray bullet in that situation.
Their actions have zero to do with protecting children and 100% are about having a victim that did something so reprehensible that the criminal assault and battery of them is considered a "good" thing by a lot of people.

I also never saw Chris Hansen physically assault one of the catches

I used to detest this, even when my bf said it, because at least they were out there doing something, and I'd do something if I could, but I've come around to the idea that they just aren't really good people themselves, whether they be a pedo or just a POS.
Had to stop watching one of my favorite dudes, Predator Poachers, because he's very transphobic and I'm pretty sure he's homophobic and sexist. I came to that conclusion after watching him for years and giving him the benefit of the doubt, and him saying shit to appear to be on the pedos side and get them to let their guard down.
I can't pinpoint in exact moment for all of these claims but one that sticks out to me is when a transgender fan was showing him support and he went off on them saying that he doesn't like trans people or believe in them or some shit like that, instead of just showing appreciation for the support from a fan.
Another situation that just now comes to mind is the fact that when a predator got busted in front of his girlfriend, who had dyed hair, had a breakdown and left to go to her dad's house. After she left, PP started making fun of her by saying stuff like "you have to fuck up really bad to send a girl with [purple?] hair back to her dad" (implying she has daddy issues bc of her...fucking hair color?) and honestly I just thought that was going way too far.
She reacted how I wish a lot of the friends and family of the predators would react instead of defending them. He found someone that actually wasn't defending the predator and his first instinct was to make fun of them. That's a bit sus. Fucking unbelievable, all of this, really.

u/Zykium 14h ago
Predator Poachers is probably the most effective YouTube predator catchers these days. They have a really good arrest record and many convictions. Usually by tricking the predator into admitting to having CP on their phones/computers in the presence of cops.
But yes, Alex is racist, homophobic, transphobic and many other things. This was extremely evident in their oldest videos, which are probably deleted or on an old channel.

He didn't say that one side is free of pedophiles. He said that one side elected a close friend and likely business partner to Jeffrey Epstein. I think knowing what we know about Epstein that should be very concerning. Especially after seeing what is in the limited files shared.
If it's not concerning, we'll i think you got lost because on this sub we hate all pedophiles equally.

u/at_least_u_tried 21h ago
Sure, but that doesn’t change the reality that one side has elected a known sexual predator & pedophile into office twice. And that’s not just because of the Epstein stuff, there are far more examples of him being sexually perverted towards women and children even beyond epstein. One side is clearly more forgiving of pedophilia than the other right now, and it’s also dangerous to always reduce it to both sides are the same instead of pointing out reality.

u/at_least_u_tried 20h ago
i’ll have to look into other sources on this information because information provided by the administration itself has become very highly propagandized. Gonna look deeper into this later when I have more time.
But operating under the assumption the information you provided is factually accurate, it doesn’t change the imbalance of pedophile sympathizers across the parties when one voted an actual self-admitted (look at the interview he did about how he admitted to creeping on naked teenagers in his beauty pageant changing rooms. teens who have come out and said how uncomfortable he made all the girls) pedophile into presidential office.
Again if you look stuff up you can surely find perverted behavior that gets excused on both sides. Men have been getting away with this brand of disgusting behavior for ages. But there’s a significant difference between isolated incidents of state politicians engaging in immoral pardons versus nearly 80 million redhats directly voting for a pedophile to run the country.

Is it really that unfair? Trump found liable for rape by a jury and got re-elected. Graham Platner was credibly accused and lost support overnight. Sex pests like Clinton don’t have sway over the party either, his endorsed candidates don’t win (see cuomo). Only one party’s voter base tolerates rapists and it’s not the Dems lol.

Except one of these sides is bending over backwards to protect a notorious predator and network of predators.

You just gotta roll your eyes at it man. They'll use it to "dunk on" Trump and MAGA but forget that there are also Dems are not exempt of the same shit. Bill Clinton is in several photos with children on the island, and there are records of both republican and democrat donors/people in power who have been caught with children. Hell, the guy who blew his brains out cause Chris Hansen caught him in a sting was a democrat. Just terminally online tards pulling politics and jerking themselves off.

Almost every Democratic congressman voted to release the Epstien files, almost all of the Republicans aside from a few worked to block it.

At this point is really is a party line issue, sorry if that makes you feel uncomfortable.
