I'm not talking about queer people getting called groomers. I know why that's happening. I'm referring more to a more general fear of pedophilia instead of just repackaged homophobia.

I feel like I'm hearing about it like every other week. For instance, parent bloggers noticing that their engagement skyrockets when they post their kids eating hotdogs or in swimwear. Another example is an increasing trend of people on Pinterest creating walls and albums labelled "hot kids."

I know that elite freaks are all pedos, but is pedophilia an actually growing problem among regular people? It seems to me like when suburbanites freak out about any other thing like BLM or immigrants marching through and razing their communities. Or the crime freakout in the 70s/80s.

Am I being naive and we actually need to be on high alert?

    Yeah, I remember that kids up to the age of toddlers used to be nude at the beach when I was a teen (late 00s). Then they all started to wear bottoms. Now they even put tops on the baby girls.

    Was not seen as anything but innocent at the time. My favourite picture of myself as a child is me and my brother (both nude) with hats, he was dressed in a cowboy hat and had a toy pistol while I was in a baby bonnet wielding a plastic cow as a gun. Nothing sexual about the picture, but I can see how a nude 4 and 2 year old would raise some eyebrows at this point.
