Oh I have strong opinions but they're probably the same as yours.
1. This is so weird to me. I keep seeing this weird obsession with pedophilia that is imaginary and I'm actually listening to a super-long podcast with it right now, but it never ceases to be bizarre, especially in fandom spaces.
2. I've never heard of this; interesting!
3. Auggggh this kind of argument is driving me rightward. I mean, not really, because I hate the right more than I hate the left, but I work in a school building. That means I'm in constant contact with kids of a variety of classes, ethnicity, and immune systems. So even if someone doesn't care about my privileged ass (and like, I nearly always seem to find out that people making these arguments have rich parents and are slumming it, or are poor because they did grad school when I care to dig), they should probably be less concerned that I don't dress in sackcloth and self-flagellate for my copious privilege, and more concerned that I am in constant contact and thus able to transmit the virus to the very marginalized children that they claim to support.
