Default Pedophile activism

I saw this in a myspace group, the person cut and pasted it from a different group she was on. The response posted is written by a supposed pedophile.
Please forgive me in my lack of compute knowledge, I'm not sure how to show the images so I added the location from where the images are from.

I am reposting this from one of the groups I am in. I found it sick and scary both as a mother and as a victim. Please repost this. Thank you.*Parent needs to know about the sick, sick movement known as "pedophile activism". I am not joking. Look up pedophile activism on wikipedia.org for more information. They have created these symbols, so that they can identify each other, create a support network, it's sickening:

This is the symbol for "boy love" called BLogoImage

This is the symbol for "girl love", called GLogoImage

This is the symbol for "Childlove Online Media Activism, CLOMALImage

This is the symbol for all-encompassing pedophilia, CLogo

This is not a joke!!! If you see these symbols on someone's myspace, they are a pedophile. If you see someone with one of these symbols on their clothing or jewelry, they are a pedophile. (Which, in my opinion, gives you permission to beat the ****iing shit out of them.) Anyone with children, please please go to wikipedia.org (a free online encyclopedia) and search "pedophile activism" and you'll get the whole sick story. Also, please repost this in your bulletins, blogs, anything you can think of to make parents aware of what is going on! To repost, click 'reply' or 'quote', and then copy and paste the codes into your own bulletin or whatever. I couldn't believe this stuff was actually true, it makes me sick to my stomach

HERE WAS THE RESPONSE POSTED


**** YOU YOU MOTHER ****ING HATERS!!!!!! (NOT THE PEDOPHILES) all of you need to just **** off!! i dont really care if you dont like the pedos but keep it to yourself! damn it! lighten up! they have a right to live and to love and to be loved just like the rest of us! get it throught your thick ****ing dickheads! I do belive that raping little kids or anyone for that matter is wrong. but if there is a consentual understanding between the people then i think it is ok and furthermor be legal! I was a kid at the gae of 6 who knew what sex was and was getting it with other kids and i would have loved it if someone older then me showed some intrest! so not all kids are not so blind to sex as you may think!
POWER TO THE PEDOPHILES!!!!!!! IF YOU ARE A PEDO OR A SUPPORTER THEN POWER TO YOU!!!!!! MY BROTHERS!!!!!!!!!!

Two things: first, the original message sounds like whoever wrote it did not know what they were talking about; second, the response was probably written by a troll trying to freak people out, and not by an actual pedophile.

Your opinion is wrong. Our society does not give individual citizens the right to decide who is and is not a criminal, nor to mete out whatever brand of justice you, yourself, feel is warranted.

Yes, a good way to show you're not a "hater" is to use caps lock, multiple exclamation points, bleeped expletives, and insults.

No one is talking about "interest," we're talking about having sex with you as a minor. I would have loved it if someone older than you showed you some grammar.

Yet another strawman.

Heh. I used to have a T-shirt that had the "boylove" symbol on it. Luckily, this wasn't circulating then, or else I'd have to worry about random people "beating the **** out of me" while walking about town. Who knew second-hand clothing was so fraught with peril?

There is a lengthy wikipedia article on pro pedophile activism that does indicate the boylove and girlove symbols do stand for what is mentioned. However I could see how those symbols could be worn or displayed by someone unsure of their meaning, the heart one especially looks innocent to me.

But that very article on wiki has a big notice about the facts being in dispute and stuff. How much can you really trust wiki in the first place?

About as much as you can trust a randomly selected group of people you know little to nothing about. This article in particular has apparently been subject to some behind the scenes fighting between the pro-pedophile activist types and the protect children at all costs types.

So what if some guys on a message board have decided to adopt these symbols? That doesn't make these particular meanings universally accepted. Certainly it hasn't stopped Unilever continuing to use their logo (though they are probably Not Amused), and I'm pretty sure I've seen the triangle one before too.

I thought I recognised that! It's the Walls logo.

I bet the triangle one can be found somewhere else too.

They're using simple shapes in a spiral, nothing special. This makes the email dangerous because legitimately innocent people can be caught up in mistaken identity cases, and those activitists using the symbols might see otherwise innocent uses of their symbols and get an over-inflated sense of gratification ("They're using my symbol, they must support me!").

Yes, that's one of the brand names Unilever uses internationally for its ice cream. All these brands use the same logo.

If you look closely, though, the Unilever logo and the "girl love" logo spiral in different directions.

Nevertheless, this is pretty dumb. Whether these symbols mean anything or not, it would be incredibly easy for someone to say, "Oh, this looks cute" and put it on their MySpace without knowing what it means. And it certainly does not give one a reason to beat them up.
