Small children will be walking past this.”Numerous Twitter commenters reposted images of the mural along with the following text: “A creepy mural that depicts BDSM and pedophilia appears in Sydney and it is supposed to be accepted as ‘normal’ and all whilst the trafficking and sexual abuse of children goes on as if it were business as usual.
LGBT is a front for grooming and pedophilia.”This rhetoric is taken straight out of the QAnon playbook. However, it’s notable that such opponents of “grooming and pedophilia” never actually partner with organizations that fight such trafficking and abuse.
