Read the article sited in the tweet, and the author was trying to say the "real" groomers were conservatives. sigh Are there conservative groomers? Yes, but to ignore liberal groomers and blame all the abuse of children on conservatives was beyond the pale.
Are they though? Or are they just of state of being? Would stating someone is alive or dead be putting a label on them too? I mean. If I state a fact such as "so and so has an IQ of 200" is that putting a "200IQ label" on them or just stating a fact? With this logic anything can be considered a label. Kek
I will say, all of the pedophiles I know irl have been conservatives and very religious men... and most of the people who were molested as children have grown up to be liberals...
I grew up in very conservative Utah, so it makes sense that the perpetrators were conservative/religious bc they make up the largest demographic.
But I think there is something to the idea that people who were molested as children grow up to be traumatized and confused liberals who rally against traditional values. And of course some of them go on to become perpetrators themselves, continuing the cycle.
And then you can go back and say that conservative pedo was traumatized by their overly religious parents that punished them excessively. The human condition is very messy.

Good and evil are also labels :P

They are labels when they are meant to divide I suppose.
Who cares if they're conservative or liberal?
A pedophile is a pedophile and a groomer is a groomer. Period.
Woodchippers do not discriminate.
