At some point we're going to have to deal with the danger and damage caused by the trope that child abusers are easily identifiable due to typically presenting as brightly coloured, flamboyant entertainers, and that children are inherently safer with mundane, anonymous authority figures.

Glinner on furries: "If they're not paedophiles, why are they dressing in a way that is appealing only to toddlers?"

  1. Most children are abused by Family members not random strangers , Teachers /Police / Priests people in authority are also abusers .

  2. Donning a conspicuous disguise while identifying into a demographic that many are already inherently suspicious of, is surprisingly ineffective at flying under the radar to gain access to vulnerable kids.

  3. Speaking of dressing in a way that appeals to toddlers, it looks like it's been quite a while since Graham has been to Disney World.

  5. If it was only appealing to toddlers, you bloviating divorced ogre, they wouldn't be in a community of adults who find it appealing to dress like that

  6. I think the thing that blows my mind the most is the overlap between the demographic that thinks this and people who spend all their time listening to true crime podcasts about how some non-descript nobody murdered 100 people and buried them in their yard without anyone noticing

  7. That rancid twat is doing so much harm to others. Literally wouldn’t be surprised if he gets found with loads of dodgy content on his hard drive. Those who project like him are often found out.

  8. Having done a stint in CPS - it was never the outwardly weird people who raped their daughters or beat their child into submission. Funny how judges and vocally Christian parents seemed to be the culprits every fucking time.

  9. Old men would drive up in golf carts to pick up teens in FL. My daughter knew better but many wanted the $, they'd come back waving that 100 bill I don't miss Florida

  10. Then we can assume from this conclusion that all the furry cute sports mascots and Disney ‘cast members’ dressed up as Goofy and Donald Duck are also pedophiles because it’s the same logic, right?

  11. When I was a local crime reporter, the biggest perpetrators were uncles, a stepdad, or other family members. Not a single one was flamboyant or a queen.

  12. It's really difficult to accept that Graham Linehan actually believes that. How does such an intelligent person become so indoctrinated with these horrible conspiracy theories?
