It’s disturbing, and everyone sees it for what it is. This is a public display of how mentally twisted and how disturbed you people actually are, and it’s genuinely alarming.
They ruin lives. They traumatize children forever. Treating that reality like entertainment or kink is disgusting and indefensible.

And don’t hide behind the “they’re fictional” excuse. Sexualizing or joking about the abuse of a child, fictional or not, is still sick. In the real world, pedophiles like that exist.
