i hate pedophiles because when i was 10, my mom’s boyfriend was planning to kidnap me, but failed because my uncle slashed the tires the night before

i hate pedophiles because when i was a tween, a grown ass man at the gas station got down on his knee, and proposed to me. i was alone. it was night time. i ran all the way home.

i hate pedophiles because one man showed up at my house when i was a child. he was an ex-convict. he got my address from a letter to my father in prison. when he was released, he came to my house. 

i hate pedophiles because my cousin was sexually abused. for years, his self esteem has been shot to hell, his grades are dead, he hurts himself and he’s been on suicide watch multiple times. and all this time, his failures have been blamed on just behavioral issues, rather than the trauma that was discovered. 

i hate pedophiles because my grandpa has always tried to frame my uncle(that saved me) as a pedophile, when he’s actually gay. so fuck your lgbt+ bullshit. you’re not welcome in our community.

i hate pedophiles because they constantly say ‘you never know who’s a pedophile’, even though it’s not difficult to tell. they say ‘we’re everywhere’, as if we don’t know that. thank you for making every child paranoid of any adult possibly preying on them. even now, as an adult, im still paranoid of every adult i meet being a pedophile. 

i hate pedophiles because they think just because you don’t actually rape a child, you’re perfectly fine and safe. you completely disregard the mental trauma you can bring just by existing near a child.

i hate pedophiles because “non-offending” is such a loose term. you can work with children, have children, visit schools and parks, surround yourself with children and potentially put them at risk, but that’s not wrong as long as you don’t touch.

i hate pedophiles because i had to bring my neighbor home with me, to wait for her mom to come home, because some fucker pulled up and tried to talk her into getting in his car. she was in 1st grade. broad daylight. almost ran me over making a u-turn to talk to this child. come to find out, his cars been flagged. he does this every summer.

i hate pedophiles because it breaks my heart receiving notices of sex offender moving in to the neighborhood, while living very close to three schools.

i hate pedophiles because every other day, a child in my neighborhood goes missing. guessing by my surroundings, 3 guesses where the children are.

i hate pedophiles because they think they need to be welcomed with open arms and cookies, or else they’ll offend. take responsibility for yourself. you’re an adult. you don’t need coddled just so you won’t rape a child. don’t put blame on anyone but your own twisted morals.

i hate pedophiles because they don’t think drawn/sim child porn, is child porn, and is illegal and immoral to consume. news flash; it is.

i hate pedophiles because they refuse therapy, even though it’s proven to be extremely effective. they don’t care about children, they only care about themselves and being exposed as what the world sees them as; disgusting, harmful peodophiles.

i hate pedophiles because pedophiles don’t hate pedophiles. you cling desperately to pedophilia being a sexuality(it’s not) and pedophilia not being bad(it is) and spew ‘pedophile positivity’ that just coddles these people that need help, telling them they’re ‘valid’ and ‘perfect’.

i hate pedophiles because they can’t even accept what they are. they have to hide behind ~map~ to soften the blow. cowards. 

i hate pedophiles because they brainwash people into thinking pedophilia is fine uwu, pulling people with pocd in rather than encouraging people to go to therapy and get help for their intrusive thoughts.

Check out this diagram from ResearchGate.  It deals with the color vision of horses, who are also generally dichromatic.  (I think, though I’m not sure, that zebras would have the same color vision as horses.)  See how orange and green look to them?

or how about a leopard?

It’s called ‘disruptive colouration’ because the markings help to break up the animal’s outline against the grasses or rocks. And the rosettes on leopards and jaguars? Sun spots shining through the trees and leaves on the ground.
