A couple of days ago a newcomer started a new community called “Controversial ideas” and began posting content.

I originally took it at face value, however it quickly became apparent that the “controversial ideas” were all just different angles of trying to normalize relationships between adults and under-age teenagers, under the guise of pseudo-intellectual debate on age of consent laws, brain development, etc.

A bit of digging made it clear that this was an individual with an agenda. He had started similar communities on several other instances using different usernames, all with the same objective and approach. His multitude of other social media accounts told a similar story and included real hot takes such as this one:

This individual has been banned and the community removed.

I don’t know how much clearer I can make it that this kind of shit isn’t and will never be tolerated here.

Seeing as this was the second pedophile that tried to set up shop here in the past month, I’ve become a bit concerned that there may be something about our previous mascot that is giving off the wrong impression. Maybe the mouse is too childish? Maybe it looks too young? I really don’t know, but I’ve decided to change it just in case.

Our new mascot is much more aggressive, hopefully it sends the right message. I welcome your feedback on it.

    It really is incredible, he has other similar communities, active accounts on pretty much all major platforms, even a YouTube channel where he makes animated videos in support of these ideas (doesn’t appear in the video / doesn’t use his real voice).

    The amount of effort he puts into this is insane, nobody does this unless they are personally very invested in the cause.
