    In the diagram you can substitute that word for any non-mainstream sexual or gender thing. It really doesn’t matter what - they’ll scapegoat anything as long as it’s a minority, elicits disgust from the in-crowd and reinforces any of the things it connects to with dashed lines.

    Pedophilia is a good one because it relates to ‘defending women & children’, makes the enemy look weak, causes sexual anxiety and elicits [disgust](https://www.ecosia.org/search?q=conservatives disgust morality&addon=firefox&addonversion=4.1.2&method=topbar). Hence ‘[Save the children](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=qanon %27save the children%27&t=h_&ia=web)’ and all that.

    The diagram maps the *conceptual* framework behind it all - it’s best not to get too literal about any of the individual words.
