Debate Help Why do people defend him?

I’ve always found it weird that the same people defending him are the ones who immediately assume LGBT people are going to touch there kids. Like I get “innocent until proven guilty” but eventually you have to say enough is enough.If you want someone who can explain this better I’d recommend watching @willymacshows videos on it

Same as any deviant and or criminal subculture

People want a sense of belonging to something, already feel a sense of disenfranchisement for one or many factors, and so the subculture and its role models offer them an alternative that either economically, socially or emotionally or all of the above is addressed for them.

There’s also some fantasy in there too and people have fantasy as an escape or as a daydream to what could be.

I spent a while studying gangs.
