The real "Trad" position is to support and expand children's rights, to be open in discussions about child-sexuality (and sexuality in general), and to rekindle the view that consensual non-abusive relations between children and adults are normal.

Many "Trad" LARPers are only "Trad" in a supposed Christian context.

Yet non-Christian tradition (i.e. Greco-Roman) goes back way further, and the further back you go, the "Trad-er" you are.

And even then, many "Christians" get caught over and over again for being pederasts or pedophiles.

Yet Christian "Trad" LARPers hyper-focus on Jews and Muslims, as if they are the only ones who engage in such practices.

Original Milo Yiannopoulos (before his "gay conversion therapy") was right. Pederasty/pedophilia is actually a non-issue. The "harm" that comes from it is due to social responses and stigma.

A very interesting (although rarely covered) aspect of the original "Alt-Right"/"Dissident Right" sphere was the open discussion of child-sexuality and many of the elements that come from that.

Richard Spencer had a discussion where he talked about "ethical child porn".

Richard Hanania was posting about how a society which jails a female adult for having sexual contact with a 13 year old boy was "sick beyond belief".

There was a libertarian-type guy who tried running for office, and he basically was advocating for legalizing CP and child-prostitution. I can't remember whether he was sent to jail or killed by police in a shootout...

Most of the AnCap people were in the same camp as the aforementioned lolbert.

Many actual (as opposed to fake) "Free Speech Absolutists" invariably end up like Amos Yee, advocating for at the very least decriminalization if not outright legalization.

If you go on RationalWiki, they actually point all this out in their pages on "Alt-Right" figures.

Basically, discussions about normalizing things "polite society" would consider "pedophilia" were actually quite normal among dissidents, back in the day.

Of course, nowadays, "right-wing" people are in hysterics over the "pedo menace". "A 17 YEAR OLD IS A CHILD!!!!!!" etc... etc...

*Sigh*
