Aren't there more pedophiles at public schools than churches and not to mention how the anime Indistry Is extremely weird with their girls under 18

Whataboutism isn’t the point I was trying to make. Sorry next time I’ll include a link to a bar graph that includes all offenders of sexual assault. Original point is still valid.

The thing is, any group that provides power is going to attract abusers. The anime industry, public schools, churches, even the medical field all have these issues. The problem is more what you do once you find them and how you prevent them from hurting anyone. If you don’t have those protections in place, if you sweep it under the rug when you find out about these people, that’s when it stops being “bad people are everywhere” and starts being “you’re supporting bad people,” and a lot of churches have been discovered to be sweeping these things under the rug.

I wasn't aware anime was a religion and being taught to kids in their houses of worship.

And do name the public school sex abuse scandal on par with the ones uncovered at churches?

There are even religions where such cases happen more frequently but you won’t see anyone making jokes about that religion.

Bro, don't even attempt to question the Reddit hivemind narratives.

A well documented history of systematic abuse of power by the clergy is hardly a “narrative”.

Millions of dollars of hush money paid out and countless pedo priest transfesrs is a "narrative" apparently /s
