kinda like an inverted version of that Black Mirror episode but instead of making two pedophiles kill each other, we get the hunters to hut each other?

That is fucking genius

Vigilantes taking the law into their own hands with violence is always a sign of a healthy society. It also never leads to tragedy.

Let’s be real- we know who they’re catching. I’m fine with this. Keep on doing whatever to MAGA trash.
Well, I get you are trying to state that MAGA people are pedofiles, and I am not here to stop you from that. But you also assume they catch actual pedofiles. However, there are cases where they have contacted people with an intellectual disability, and then you cannot be really sure the person really is sexually in to children, since with enough pushing you can get such persons to agree to a meeting anyway... just because you pushed. Regardless of how awful the crime is, we cannot accept vigilantes.

Is this an angelfire website in the 90's? Who the hell though a background amalgamation of moving images was the best way to present printed media?
I just can't with these websites anymore. I find it almost impossible to read when there's a embedded video as it is.

This is a symptom. If police won't do it's job there will be some guys who will take it into their own hands. The problem is they have even less oversight than police.

This crew also confuses homosexuals with pedophiles, so be careful on Grindr, k?

The word pedophile is so weirdly used. If an older man or lady meets a 16 year old.. their technically not one, but in this day of age.. they would be consider one to society..but they would be consider a Sex Offender. Depending on Level 1 or 2.. all depends on what they did and if their state (or Federal) will think they will re-offend or not. Most Level 1’s do not.

Firefox's reader view (ctrl alt r) is a godsend for cases like these.

Is that really the only problem you see with people taking justice into their own hands? Less oversight?
When they go after the wrong person, yes. When they decide to both be the police, judge and executioner, yes.
But if the judiciary system doesn't do it's work, what do you expect.

The problem is what if they mistake somebody for the wrong person? That's enough to destroy an innocent persons life.

Regular unlock origin does a great job for both automated and manual page cleanup.
For cases when the page is still borderline unusable, Firefox's reader view is a must.

It's not weirdly used. Society always determines what is appropriate. We've decided, as a society, that humans cannot consent until 18. And any sex without consent is rape.
That said, what is weird is that we conflate pedo and child rapist. You're describing child rapists.

real cops do this too, though not execution style.

Also many of these "vigilantes" are not doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. This is a popular subgenre of hate-porn on YouTube that gets a lot of attention. I wouldn't trust anyone who does this for clout and attention to put in the work that is needed to ensure that they get the right person since you can just about fake any evidence on a YouTube video. This is the equivalent of giving a homeless person thousands of dollars and putting it on YouTube for views.
