Good god I am not looking forward to the paraphile backlash off of this one. The internet is Big Mad at the Billionaire Pedophile Cabal, and once again pedophile is being used as a synonym for abuser. The crowd seems like they’re growing more radicalized, hopefully we don’t wind up in a situation where we’re openly being hounded out. All because of a tangental association with billionaires!
This time, however, seems reasonably contained towards zoos so far. I’ve not seen almost anyone calling out paraphiles as a class, and only one person explicitly mentioning zoophiles. They had someone in the comments defending us, too! Not by defending animals, unfortunately, using the vegetarianism argument and saying we’re just as bad as factory meat, which is not a good look for us. Are we not past this?
Hopefully zooey seeds are growing anyway. It’s reassuring to see that there are people out there who will defend us, even if they kind of suck at it, and I can’t complain about having allies.
I just wish they didn’t suck at it.
