WTF does sucking dick have to do with pedophilia?

    Nothing. It's an attempt to associate LGBTQ people with something for which we already have strong negative emotions in order to make/keep them the Source of All That Is Bad, around which simple minded voters can be rallied.

    Furthermore, it can be used to derail legitimate discourse. You're forced into a defensive position when interviewed and asked "why are you defending a pedophile" and your first response needs to be "LGBTQ is not the same as pedophilia". There's an immediate ick, even though it's 100% correct.

    I may just be desensitized but i read it more like the way you would read "shit eating pedophiles" as in it's more of a general insult than a literal dick sucking nonce

    Or it's a parallel to the dicksucking these " " " " News " " " (quotations for emphasis of their distance to actual journalism) channels do for their nonce filled political class
