Yes, I'm aware of the actual definition of pedophilia, I'm just using the loose term of "pedo" most people use, which is finding anyone under 18 attractive.

That Elon Musk situation annoyed me but good thing is, most people called him out on it.

Pedo vigilante hunters annoy me a lot, they've killed innocent men, like in these cases:

"The majority of these predator catchers have sketchy backgrounds that involve their presence on the wrong side of the law."

Exactly. They're either abusers, drug addicts, sexual deviants, have CP (like with the QAnon case), etc.

Some comments I've read from others about vigilante hunters:
"They don't start with good intentions. Vigilantes can't be trusted. We had a guy at work who was always raging about paedos being killed, turned out he was beating his wife.

These are often violent people looking for an outlet. You can't put justice in the hands of a mob".

Even the "To Catch A Predator" series has shady ways:
"The group that worked on "To Catch A Predator" were proper dodgy, loads of those cases collapsed in court because the chatlogs had the so called "decoy" being the ones talking about sex."

"I’ve been listening to a podcast (Criminally Stupid) that covers the chat logs and outcomes of each case. You couldn’t be more right, in every one they’ve covered the decoy is always the one steering the conversation to sex (in an incredibly graphic way). A lot of the cases border on entrapment so it’s no surprise they never went anywhere."
