  • Witch hunting. Literature, suspicion, trials are all very similar. Guilt assumed.
  • Homosexuality. Both are seen as a abberations as opposed to adaptations, due to an oversimplification of evolutionary theory and hangover from religious assumptions about wasteful indulgence. Both have been described as unnatural and treated with behavioral and aversion therapies - crude experimental sciences such as phallometry deployed. Both presented as predatory and corrupting, with little analysis of motives or objective reality. Homosexuality first presented as gender inversion. Pedosexuality presented as chronological inversion/regression.
  • Onanism: Similar to Child Sexual Abuse, since masturbation was defined as self-abuse and led to shame and aversion in children. Academics have compared the pathologisation of normal sexual behavior in children with present day "sexualised" children who court "bad touch".

A Holocaust comparison can be dismissed at this point, however Minor Attracted People and adjacent academics often live like pre-holocaust middle-class Jews in Germany - i.e. second-class citizens who must hide their identity and might be targeted/raided at any time. A genuine holocaust is an obvious aspiration of some vigilantes and extremists.
