We kinda do need these articles. These people push a narrative that they’re just “concerned about the children” and trying to save them from “groomers” (ie anyone who allows them the freedom and agency to figure themselves out and express themselves). Articles like this poke holes in the image they project, and show them for the monsters they really are.
Yes, you already know they’re monsters. So do I. But clearly, not everyone has gotten the message yet, and if we ignore their monstrous acts and words, those people will be left to listen to the narrative they do get.
