> If convicted, this could land me in jail for 6 to 10 years. The 6 to 10 years is the least of his worries. The guy will be labeled a chomo and probably killed as a result. All for running a Tor exit node. What a time to be alive.

> probably killed as a result This is a violent fantasy. I'd estimate that 99.9% of child molesters who go to prison walk out alive and relatively uninjured.

This case was in Austria, not the US, and was quite some time ago (early 2010s). He was charged under a law criminalizing "support of general distribution", not possession. He was sentenced to probation, and left the country.

I’ve never seen the term chomo before and I’m curious about its origin. Is it “homo” but with ‘c’ for child tacked on the front, or is it Spanish? Or something else, like a portmanteau of child molester?

  I remember it because SNL had a skit where The Rock invented a "robo chomo"[0]. Given that SNL used it, I thought it was a pretty mainstream term. [0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0NgUhEs1R4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0NgUhEs1R4

  The way I learned it is that it is a portmanteau of child molester. The extra "o" in the middle is used because "chmo" is hard to pronounce.
  - gmiller123456 3y ago
    "Chimo" would make more sense in that case, so that's probably not the origin of it.

      Yeah, I can't imagine anyone wanting slang to rhyme.

      Would you also argue that mofo can't derive from motherfucker because that would be mofu?

      Maybe English does have a little bit of vowel harmony after all.
- omeysalvi 3y ago
  Yes, the latter

  It's short for "child molester," and happens to sound a lot like "homo." Very common term in prison.

    And innuendo and deniability is just as common a past time. The UK's Carry On films and other TV programs like the BBC Are you being served tv sitcom were heavily into innuendo, in as much a way as some jokes in Disney Pixar films fly over the head's of kids, but is understood by most adults perfectly well. Not only is it a way to quantify peoples mental abilities by whether they laugh in a cinema watched by a secret camera and AI or whether documented on social media, or listened into by our phones and then adverts, its also an in plain site way for some people in society to identify people for exploitation and manipulation, just like teenagers are dedicated followers of fashion. Its quite interesting really, just like the changes in slang language is a stealth form of working out the age of someone typing online, by the use of their vocabulary and interests. In some respects humans are just lemmings and very people actually come up with original content, not that the original content is necessarily any good. But mainstream trends happen for a reason, in much the same way as you wont really see anything go viral like they used to on the internet in the early 00's. Peoples reactions whether culturally or legally correct or not are also telling. Its all psychological and biological mind games, because histidine and carnosine as two amino acids, which could get alot of males into trouble if they are not careful! I found the recent ambulance strikes in the UK quite telling, they would attend cat 1 or level 1 people who basically had an over active immune system ie allergic reactions, but refused to attend to cat 2 or level 2 people who had an under active immune system which groups the elderly into that group automatically. In other words the recent UK ambulance strikes were a stealth form of eugenics on the elderly, but most of the british population wouldnt have known this. And that is my point, there is alot more going on that meets the eye, but if Freud was right, what does that make many parents?

  It stands for child molester. The other term you hear all the time inside is “weird” or “weirdo.” There are others, diaper sniper, skinner (“skin bief”). You generally won’t get killed though. People like to say that but in fed low, where all the cp stuff goes, they’re all protected and they’ll ship you out if you get caught hurting them. And they WILL tell.

It wasn’t in the US, and it was for him either 3 months jail or probation for some years, he was also able to leave Europe completely, most likely because they know he had nothing to do with it but per the article there was no plea.
