Guessing it says "kill"? I feel people who are that vocal about pedophiles are usually compensating for their own internal demons. Someone should keep an eye on that man...
I really hate that line of thinking. I get why people make that comment, but I really hate it either way. Just because some people who vocally take one stance doesn't mean they are always secretly in support of it behind closed doors. I know it does happen, but applying that logic to everyone is just wrong.
If we expand that type of thinking to others does that mean that Lemmy users are overwhelmingly Nazis because they have been so outspoken against them? They must be hiding their love of Elon and Trump just because they keep talking about how much they hate them all the time. Clearly projecting.
Unless you have legitimate reason to believe someone has ulterior motives behind their words or actions you need to assume they are being truthful. Innocent until proven guilty n all that.
My first thought is "Methinks he doth protest too much."
My second thought, is maybe he's advertising his want to assist in this specific scenario, in which case, can I have his number?
Let me make it easy for you: The local CPS agent who has to both uncover pedophiles, as well as deal with the aftermath, would never be caught dead in a shirt like this.
Anyone wearing a shit like this is projecting HARD. Normal people universally agree that pedophiles are bad. The only people that feel the need to advertise it's bad, are the ones who secretly are thinking "But I have these urges so other people must too, so I better put it on a shirt to remind everyone it's bad in case they forget".
There's litearlly no well adjusted adult who thinks you need to remind everyone that pedophiles are bad... that's just a base assumption. If one of my coworkers showed up tomorrow with a shirt that said "Rapists are bad, don't rape people" my first thought would be: wait, were you contemplating raping people before you saw that shirt for the first time?
Me thinks the lady doth protest too much
Is a truism for a reason.
There’s litearlly no well adjusted adult who thinks you need to remind everyone that pedophiles are bad…
eh, well adjusted is doing a lot of work there. I know victims, plural, who would happily join a lynch mob if it was going out to hang pedos. I think you have a point about projection, but like everything, there's few without-exception universals.

While I agree with this, I still think people who repeatedly bring up how opposed they are to something, apropos of nothing, are a bit strange and at best probably need to talk through some stuff.
Calling out your dislike of something when it's presented to you is fine. A pattern of interrupting unrelated conversations to do so is a bit worrisome.

Yeah, who wears a shirt like this in public?
They could've moved the text down like 5"
Did they not do that on purpose as a joke on people who buy it?
Gosh, that would be amazing if it was the case. My buddy and I discussed the possibility of grifting idiot conservatives in ways that cause them to tell on themselves. This would have been a great one.
legendary
If someone has stuff about pedophiles written on their body, the details don't really matter.
Even without the hood, it's a pretty weird thing to wear and i can't think of any situation that it would be funny.
I think these are from JD Delay, a dude who left prison and got famous on YouTube talking about prison politics and reacting to general bullshit.
Some of it comes from people who were abused when they were kids. Others just love to talk about killing pedos.
Yeah pedos are terrible, but it sort of seems like guys with shirts like this just want to hurt someone, and pedos are a convenient target that won't be protected.
"Nuke the Whales?"
"Gotta nuke sumthin..."

A lot of people that wear things like that are masking. Not all, but the ones that love to call Democrats & trans people pedos are often projecting.

These shirts work to self-identify as such
Someone should check his hard drives. It's always the most outspoken
yep it's one thing to have violent thoughts and opinions about certain people you find abhorrent of whatever but if you're the kind of guy to advertise it unprompted I'm gonna assume you're projecting.
I'm gonna bet this guy votes for the party that regularly defends and elects child predators, opposes sex ed for kids to keep them clueless about abuse, and advocates for child marriage.
I advertise my support for that Nintendo character all the time and I swear to god I’m not denying anybody’s medical care
that's not the same as these moralizing bunch. yours is a class based argument. even if I disagree with a statement like that, for example the very openly evil people who are against homeless people trying to stay alive, I don't assume they're secretly homeless themselves. it's clear they just hate the homeless.

I struggle to come up with a first word that would salvage this.
That doesn't even make sense... Are they saying that pedos aren't assholes or that they are immortal?
I don't understand...
I think the 'assholes live forever' is just branding. Like a brand that's 'edgy'.
Pretty sure it references “The good die young, but assholes live forever”
Often used when some (asshole) does something potentially dangerous or exploitative and survives/walks away unscathed or with little consequences but other (innocent/good) people die as a result of their actions.
Examples: car crash with drunk driver that kills other people but not the driver,extreme price hikes on life saving medicine by a CEO, (or in this image) child abusers that are allowed to continue to exist in society.

i looked it up, it's a variation of kill/shoot/maim, i'd say "kill" from the visible parts of letters under the hood
