Those familiar with the Farms' previous encounters with pedophiles, from the horrors of Nick Bate to the numerous Tumblr Pedos we've featured know that Pedophiles have tried to make in-roads anywhere they can for years. From Tumblr to Reddit, from 8chan to 9gag, FurAffinity to DeviantArt, if your site has user-generated content and some level of user control, you
will have countless attempts by Pedophiles to use it. If not to share outright CP, then it'll be to share content in the same vein and maybe get that much closer to a child.
It's an inevitability, and one of the costs of running a site that features user-generated content. Most of the time, Pedo content is flagged and removed
immediately, and that's a fine thing. In fact, the Pedophiles are so consistent and so aggressive in doing this that it can get to the point that some sites will ban certain content because Pedophiles keep using said content to do an end-run around the system and get a foot in the door. On 4chan, we saw this with Loli; on FurAffinity, this apparently was "cub porn." I learned about that one from
@KidKitty, who tends to track furry cows.
Pedophiles will join any site that has user-generated content for the purposes of sharing it, and very often, as we've seen multiple times, will push a pro-Pedophilia agenda once there. They try to normalize it, to make the argument that it's natural, just like homosexuality, and that they can and are upstanding members of the community, but we've all
heard this song and dance before. It's the same defense that's been used since time immemorial, and by one group in particular that I can recall.
If you're in the USA, you've heard of NAMBLA, if
only from comedians making fun of it, but if you're not, it's a pedophile advocacy group that seeks to abolish age-of-consent laws. Fittingly, almost
immediately, NAMBLA became implicated in a number of high-profile criminal incidents; these included members of NAMBLA being caught in sex trafficking, molestation, and worse. NAMBLA originally had small but noted support from other gay and lesbian groups in the USA, but by the 1980s, this was gone as NAMBLA repeatedly got implicated in sex trafficking scandals and
at least one murder.
It wasn't long until NAMBLA was being exiled from associating with other gay and lesbian rights groups, but the group didn't really get outright blacklisted until the 90s with the
IGLA Controversy, in which the International Gay and Lesbian Association got UN consultative status, had its major ties to NAMBLA (and pedophilia) known, had NAMBLA's ties to criminal behavior likewise known, and subsequently, lost such status. This led to a rare outbreak of common sense in which Jesse Helms demanded a bill to withhold funding from any organization that condoned Pedophilia, a bill that got
unanimous approval, for reasons that should be obvious.
All of which brings us to Nyberg and the staggering number of pedophile defenders we keep running into in the same social circles.
This image is spreading in Social Justice circles. It's Photoshopped, obviously.
The natural tendency of Pedophiles is to congregate - both to share content (remember Nyberg's spamming of 12chan links and defending "non-nude model pics") and to find ways to "normalize" their behavior and make it seem like less of a problem. Most sane groups will have nothing to do with them since nobody wants to be associated with someone who potentially fucks children. But in Social Justice, you have people who believe that the ends justify the means, that nothing need be substantiated if the "feels" are strong enough, and, most alarmingly,
that anyone in Social Justice is inherently more moral than someone who does not share these views, so they're willing to overlook cronyism for the sake of their overall goals.
That, as we say, is the foot in the door.
This is a
dream scenario for Pedophiles. They can find people with mainstream media attention to parrot their talking points and operate pretty much free from persecution so long as they don't get caught fucking children, and all they need to do is scream the virtues of feminism and Social Justice. They can even have a criminal record and Social Justice won't care! Even better, it can lead them to positions of authority where they can then defend their fellow pedophiles (a scenario that is to be avoided
at all costs). Moreover, as Salon later proved, very often they can be
outright caught trying to meet with a child for sex and modern Neoprogressives will defend you as some paragon of virtue:

I am now convinced that this complete incapacity to go after Pedophiles if they're valued allies of Social Justice is, ultimately, what led to this infestation. Because Social Justice Warriors are loath to criticize their own (since someone who believes as they do is inherently more moral than someone who isn't) and believe that anyone who has a condition that puts them lower on
the sliding scale of privilege is inherently less-privileged and thus more valuable, you have pretty much the inevitable happen when these ideologies collide; Pedophilia is now an oppressed minority, and suddenly, things have become
hilarious.
Suddenly, you have what we in the lolcow chronicleering community have seen in the last 2 years: case after case after case of a high-profile nutter in Social Justice being a Pedophile, from Sarah Nyberg to Valis99 (Feminist Frequency's former moderator and convicted child molester), HannibaltheVictor (guy who went after Thunderf00t and has a criminal history of sexual assaulting a minor) to Lena Dunham (who molested her younger sister), to the ass clowns recently exposed on RationalWiki. This is only going to get worse as time goes on and more and more of them come out of the woodwork, all of which reminds me of a quote by HP Lovecraft:
