is it actually "the right" or just a handful of idiots? (genuine question, I can't tell)

Started as latter, but has spread some. The Qanon types have latched on, and there's more than a handful of them. It's strange with ppl like Michael Ian Black, or James Gunn-- no evidence of actual pedophilia but they do have a lot of creepy/unfunny kid/sex/scat/violent stuff.

Calling people pedophiles as a form of attack has been around since Day 2 of USEnet, and since Day 3 there has always been that weird fringe who believed it was genuinely true and not just shit-talking.

They are both shaming words used to inflict pain and make the user feel stronger. People use these in arguments or when the want to start one. Generally not used in a discussion. Argue to prove your right; discuss to conclude what is right.
