@basedbagel - Yeah... I've gotten the same treatment before. It comes mostly in the form of a side-eye, guarding behavior, and/or innuendo. I don't think anyone's name-calls me because I can appear fairly intimidating (heavy eyebrows).
To be clear: kids have never been something I'm into like that. But people still seem to make the silent assumption - as revealed in their behavior. That assumption shouldn't be dignified with response.
I'm curious about much of that is projection, or paranoia?
@basedbagel - But I guess the point your post brings to mind, is this: Whatever we have been doing up til now, to prevent sex abuse of children... It's not working.
All the paranoia, and the general alienation of men from children... It's not working (assuming abuse prevention is even the goal). I know more molested people than non-molested people.
Maybe it's a variation on a theme, something like: avoiding pain leads to pain.
I wouldn't worry about him having kids. Last I heard he went full black pill.
That's why I have such disdain for the black pill mentality.
They just give up on life and actively antagonize those who try to help and hate on anyone trying to do better as "copers".
@basedbagel - And sorry to ramble here... But you were right to drop your friend.
Fuck that guy. Odds are greater than zero, that he's projecting what's inside of him, anyway (I might feel bad for his kids though).
