This is a tactic I've seen conservatives do lately? Well not really lately, pretty much forever I guess. A gay couple has been molesting kids they adopted, and helped support the narrative the right has about gay people and children. There's two elements to this:

The first is the very strong implication that gay men are more likely to molest children. In addition to being naked homophobia, I think chuds tend to assume that ANY man that would molest or rape another male must be gay. So they follow this simplistic chain of logic: a man molesting a boy is gay, therefore men sexually attracted to men will want to molest boys, therefore a child molestor who has male victims MUST secretly be gay.

The second element is the implication of the LGBT community as a whole. Explicitly accusing all gay men of being child molestors might break decorum. It actually serves them better to all but suggest this, with the caveat that "sure, not EVERY gay man molest children, but if you're among those that don't then you should be the FIRST to condemn the ones that do!". This allows them to drag down other groups of people into the 'problem'. "As if it were bad enough that 99% of gay men are molesting boys nonstop the rest of the alphabet mafia are letting it happen!".

Is there a concise term for when chuds conflate this?

that is an antigun tweet making a reference to scarface, op
