>The mainstream media and an awful lot of the internet (including the majority of users on this site) paint Trump supporters as racist, sexist, homophobic, uneducated, etc. on a daily basis, but calling spez a pedo is somehow beyond the pale? Racism, sexism, homophobia and lack of education are not crimes, and never imply criminal activity that police actively investigate. Pedophilia is not a crime but implies a proclivity towards actions that are a crime and that police actively investigate. Yes, implying or directly accusing someone of harboring an innate proclivity for sexually abusing children does exceed in severity accusations of racial, gender, or anti-gay bias or lack of education. That people who proudly and on national media flaunt these attributes in themselves is evidence of such.

People in the mainstream media and online do defend pedophilia though [1-4]. If both aren't crimes, I see no meaningful difference in the accusations. 1. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/06/opinion/pedophilia-a-disorder-not-a-crime.html?_r=0 http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/06/opinion/pedophilia-a-disor... 2. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/08/20/why-we-understand-so-little-about-pedophilia-and-sex-crimes-against-children/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/08/2... 3. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/sex-between-students-and-teachers-should-not-be-a-crime/2013/08/30/dbf7dcca-1107-11e3-b4cb-fd7ce041d814_story.html?wprss=rss_homepage https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/sex-between-students... 4. https://reddit.com/r/pedofriends https://reddit.com/r/pedofriends
