Pro-paedo t-shirts on sale in Manchester

[DJLippy]

I saw this in Manchester Canal Street this afternoon. or those that don't know "boy love" is code for the sexual attraction of men to pubescent and adolescent boys.

I am SICKENED. Paedophiles have no place in the LGBT community. The fact that this is being displayed in broad day light. Equally disgusted and dismayed.

I got so angry I compiled a tweet.

I am bisexual and I feel like my community is being hijacked by fetishists. I just saw this by chance in town today and I am appalled. Gay rights have NOTHING to do with this shit. We are being tarred with this brush. NO!

LGBT rights have been hard won. I am dismayed by the failure of gay right organisations to address this growing problem. If this scandal breaks who will take the blame? LGBT folk want nothing to do with these monsters. It's time our leaders put our house in order.

Napalm Death is the name of a (hard metal) band...

I think Napalm Death are a band

OOpa, X post, sorry!

My 23 year old nephew whose gay is sitting here beside me. I've just shown him this. He thinks you're being completely paranoid and I have to say I agree with him.

You're coming across as a very angry person too.

who's not whose

Why are you assuming everyone else on here is straight?
I’ve slept with more women than men and I think you’re being completely over dramatic.

That poster is a completely different thing.

They are not comapable.

All the straight folk calling me a bigot. fuck. right. off.

I'm not straight, you have highlighted one specific tshirt and made Alex Jones type conspiracy theories on this whilst ignoring the Girl Love tshirts done in the same type face, if you want to ignore the designers aesthetics concluding it is some form of pedo calling card.

Trying to cause a shit storm on MN is wimpy, call it out on twitter if you feel that strongly against it and live or die by the sword.

That twitter thing is terrifying. It’s ok to have sex with a 10 year old?

"Your community" as opposed to all the rest of us within that same community who are saying chill the fuck out, you're being totally over dramatic with your call to arms.

Surely it was written as 'man love'

What would the store gain by selling a t-shirt that supposedly promotes a paedophile ring? It doesn't make any sense

Language is so different in the US. This T-shirt is for sale in Manchester.

Yes there are horrible minority groups who attempt to normalise paedophilia and 4chan type posters who create fake memes and groups online in order to stir up hate for LGBT groups. But I don’t believe this shirt is part of that, personally.

It’s not an intentionally pro paedo T-shirt in the slightest.
It is however a bit misguided on behalf of the designer / manufacturer.
But it happens - it’s very very common for retailers, magazines, tv shows etc to put out content which some silly sod hasn’t picked up the implications - recently H&M had to remove some children’s clothes bc of racist connotations for instance.
The people to blame are the absolutely rubbish PR/media teams who allow this kind of stuff to make it to the public domain.
Whilst you have a point to say you don’t want the gay community tarred with this kind of brush (which yes definitely has been the case in the past), I think it’s a case of misguided retailer rather than a clandestine group of paedo T-shirt designers infiltrating the UK one major city at a time

Where's the link to that Twitter image? I can't find it by typing what I can see of the name of that account.

Zyklon is a band!

I'm not straight either and I think you are being a bit daft and yes, do sound like quite an angry person.

NEVER mind what's being ''done'' to your community.

It's what's done to pre-pubescent boys that is what matters surely!

But I agree with you OP, I think people are being incredibly naive. This is being snuck in as just one more orientation.

That Twitter image screams of 4chan fakery and fuckwittery to me.

Zyklon is just German for cyclone. Over here there are many things called Zyklon. You say zyklon here and people just think it was windy.

I'm bisexual in orientation but have never faced any problem with it probably because I don't walk about shouting about it, never felt the need to. Whilst I stand with any race, ability, religion or gender or sex or anything to not be discriminated against, I honestly don't think these t-shirts are meant to be worn by anyone except handsome young gay men who like other handsome young gay men.

Well, it's a death metal band... And according to Wiki one of the members was previously in a band called Zyklon B.

woah
the T shirt could be a mistake

the photo with 10 and 36? I don't feel well

Check out the hat on that mannequin

Yes there are horrible minority groups who attempt to normalise paedophilia and 4chan type posters who create fake memes and groups online in order to stir up hate for LGBT groups.

You need to take a step back from the culture war, the minute you mention 4chan posters shows that you are to invested.

Once you realise 4chan trolls is just about highlighting the hypocrisy of the 'woke' crowd such as OP it will make sense
