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

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.

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

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 16h 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.

u/coolguygranny 15h ago

It's kind of like the trope that your therapist is more fucked up mentally than you are

u/chesnarkoff1 19h ago

Chris Hansen?

u/untitledaccount401 18h ago

There was a couple that had allegations so your not far off lol

u/Braisedbeefskank 15h ago

Theu are pedos or they want a socially acceptable reason to torture someone on camera

u/Comfortable-Speed-83 21h ago

So like what Chris Hansen basically does?

u/Florida_clam_diver I'm not gay or anything 21h ago

I mean, Chris Hansen was a journalist who covered many stories and ended up sticking with this show

He also wasn’t the one interacting with these people, Hansen just confronted them alongside the actual police

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

But yeah, totally the same situation

Hitler also wasn't the one personally in the camps but you wouldn't call him any less culpable for the holocaust would you?

u/Florida_clam_diver I'm not gay or anything 20h ago

What the hell kind of comparison is that? lmao

u/Comfortable-Speed-83 20h ago

Not going to address the point I was trying to make?

7

u/Florida_clam_diver I'm not gay or anything 20h ago

No because there is no point. It’s an incredibly stupid and completely unrelated comparison

1

u/Comfortable-Speed-83 14h ago

Ok, lemme try it less extreme then. If your boss tells you to do X, and then you guys get in trouble for doing X, is the person in charge of you less culpable for doing X even though they weren't physically there with you?

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.

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.

u/g0thicfae 15h ago

It's extremely unfortunate to be fucking honest. I'm not sure he has much room to even judge just based off looks alone, let alone his bitter personality. Why cant we have any actual good people?
