Bizarrely, on Biggest Problem, Maddox brought up the "sympathetic to pedophiles" angle and Dax was super uncomfortable with that. You could read into that several ways, one of them being he hadn't yet developed the cope of defending it, or whatever. As a side note, that was one of the few times Maddox made a decent argument (essentially "It's normal to feel hatred toward pedophiles but you gotta treat the ones that are aware of it and actively try not to offend well"). And then that backfired when it turned out that Maddox superfan David Clegg, the guy who inspired that problem, is fucked to the point of wanting a 13 year old virgin because that's the only way he thinks he'll find a girl who's pure enough to deserve to be with him.That's personally what I think. Either that dax is still too close to the incident emotionally or he thinks that enough people know the link between being molested as a child and becoming a pedophile as an adult and thinks people will turn on him for it. Ironically had he not defended pedophilia he probably would've gotten a sympathetic reaction about it but if he came out with it now people would just go "yea, figures..."
Dax and pedophiles is interesting to me, because I don't think he is one, I think he just doesn't want to draw a line in the sand about it for selfish reasons. When he was doing the DigiBro defense, I think he knew DigiBro was a pedophile, but just didn't want to say it because in his eyes he's been fucked by people because of "thought crime". But if I gave Dax the benefit of the doubt, it's still radically different than "bad opinions = banned from hollywood" because DB is actively confessing to wanting a little sister wife that he fucks. No need to defend someone who's actively fucked. Alternately, Dax just doesn't want to scare off people who do weird shit cause drama. That's the "best" reason. But his bargain bin shock jock act is the worst part of the show, apart from politics.
With Cuties, idk. I can half see his argument, but what the fuck is the point of bringing it up again? Like I said, if he just stopped after one or two episodes it would fizzle out really easily. Then he brings on retards like BakedAlaska and they have a pointless argument and fuck, it's unlistenable.
