We all do, all the time, because we're all pretty much unemployed.

eh I can relate and it sounds like he's doing aight

edit for clarity: just in the sense that he's doing something fun and that helps him (and the kids), and that he doesn't owe the adults an explanation for that poo poo. Our culture's way too in love with moral panic. "That adult is showing kids any level of attention at all, and they aren't his kids. He must be a pedo or a weirdo!" yeah gently caress that

Yeah it really doesn't read that way. What should/ought to be true isn't necessarily true when it comes to social mores, and flaunting social convention at personal risk of accusation to himself just to assuage issues he has with dead children he saw overseas is a sign of anti-social PTSD behavior and he should get that treated right the gently caress away before his goon-y rear end gets in trouble he can't get out of.

I def understand where you're coming from, and considering the ridiculously narrow window we have into the situation (a couple dozen impact-font words over a bear picture) I think we agree on the important points. Any disagreements we'd have would heavily depend on the particulars of the situation he was describing.

and I'm fine leaving it there.

I'm referring to the Brass Eye Paedogeddon special, and you're on a comedy forum so you should know what it is because it's really funny.

Which doesn't change my point that only a dummy would think that the extreme fear and paranoia over pedophiles was a uniquely American concept.

I like this more than the try-hard-to-recapture-GBS 1.0-spirit of modern GBS where I'd just get told that I'm a horrible neckbeard virgin human being who needs to kill himself.

Bad phrasing on my part then (tho I didn't claim it was uniquely american, I just did the classically-American thing of assuming US = the world, what can I say I'm a product of my environment)

"Western culture" then?

lol no, Jimmy Saville existing doesn't mean that parents need to make sure that men cannot be in a park by themselves or that taking your eyes off your kid for a second means that your child will instantly be snatched by a pedo in a helicopter who will fly them off to their sex dungeon

it DOES mean you probably shouldn't let your kid hang out with giant weirdos unsupervised, though

bears exist, so all children must wear anti-bear-attack-suits at all times
