noun \  pe·do·phil·ia
sexual perversion in which children are the preferred sexual object
Some characteristics of a pedophile:
Relates better to children ( i.e., your best friend being a 15 year old girl ) âś“
Socializes with few adults unless they are pedophiles ( i.e., having lots of young friends, as young as 11 ) âś“
Usually prefers children in a specific age group ( i.e., all of said young friends being within 3-4 years of one another ) âś“
Collects child erotica ( nsfw link ) âś“
May go to great lengths to conceal their illegal activity ( i.e., changing identities, faking your own death )Â âś“
Often rationalizes their perversions ( “it’s just a character!” ) ✓
Often portrays the child as the aggressor ( i.e., making the child out to be a badass or ethereal or even OP being that could potentially destroy you but majestically chooses not to ) ✓
Stages of grooming for a pedophile:
Step 1: Identifying a possible victim ( i.e., scouting their blogs, their mun pages, going through OOC tags )Â
Step 2: Collecting information ( i.e., reaching out to them, asking them to speak on skype, befriending them so you know all pertinent information )
Step 3: Filling a need ( i.e., “hey, would you like me to make you a theme?” “no writing partners? we can have multiple threads, that’s great!” “do you need an icon psd?” “i’ll send you money to help you” )
Step 4: Lowering inhibitions ( i.e., “come, look at this new faceclaim! she’s from a hentai, though >.<” “i made a nsfw blog, only for my close friends to see!” )
Step 5: Initiating the abuse - need I even provide an example?
            ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
Cheyde/Phenix is a pedophile. They exhibit all of the characteristics that I’ve listed above. I think now it goes without saying that any association with her will result in the assumption that you are condoning her actions. Please, educate yourself on her other offenses, and stay safe.Â
