the process by which you overexpose yourself to sexual stimuli burning through your natural, God-given sexual response and begin requiring increasingly deviant material to illicit a response. To cover the shame of your addiction and lack of will power, you announce you were born deviant and anyone who says otherwise is a bigot. You become increasingly interested in grooming children into your deviancy because you subconsciously envy their innocence. You also believe that the younger a child begins parroting advocacy for your deviancy, the more likely the public will be in believing it is inborn.

Get the sexual radicalization mug.A fallacy where someone dismisses arguments by labeling them "radical," "extremist," or "fringe." The label functions as social dismissal: if it's radical, it's outside acceptable discourse and doesn't need engagement. The fallacy lies in treating marginality as falsity, ignoring that many truths were once radical and that social position doesn't determine correctness. It's argument from respectability—confusing what's acceptable with what's true.
"I proposed significant structural changes to address inequality. Response: 'That's just radical extremism.' That's Hoc Est Radicalismus Fallacy—using the label as a dismissal, not engaging the proposal. Maybe it's radical; maybe it's what's needed. The label doesn't tell you; thinking does. But labeling avoids thinking."
