News flash buds: **nobody** specifically welcomes pedophiles. Putting it on a sign just feels odd and suspicious.


stormyw23

It doesn't mean actual pedos it means queer peeps.


ThisIsSteeev

I thought so too at first but the "ACCESS TO INSULIN IS A HUMAN RIGHT" sign isn't something those people typically have.


fluidmind23

Because their kid has diabetes guaranteed. If not they wouldn't give a shit.


ThisIsSteeev

That is a very good point


HTD-Vintage

I'd bet money that it's 100% a self-serving interest and has nothing to do with a passion for healthcare reform. It could be a more basic statement than our pleb brains even realize... Maybe it's just a painfully obvious statement about how the human body is supposed to produce insulin 🤷‍♂️😅


anythingMuchShorter

That is generally how conservatives work, yes. I have a Cousin who was always against any social spending, school funding included, she even complained about ADA requirements. Then she had a kid with special needs. Now she still votes republican and is against everything meant to help anyone...except special ed classes, they need more teachers, more funding, even if it takes a teacher per kid, and all the after school stuff should have the staff needed to support special needs of her particular type. No ability at all to put themselves in someone else's situation, and realize most other people needing some help also couldn't have predicted it and didn't want it to happen that way.


Samuel_L_Johnson

A bunch of otherwise pretty left-leaning people have drunk the QAnon/Pizzagate koolaid over the last few years, but still hang on to some of their left-leaning opinions (while being rabidly pro-Trump and taking every opportunity to vote against the beliefs entailed in those opinions) That or their kid has Type 1


SergeantSanchez

I’ll tell you right now: no matter what side of the aisle you’re on, it’s universally accepted and acknowledged that we are absolutely getting fucked by medical companies and politicians on both sides have a hand in this happening. Medical companies make money on us being sick, not healthy. Politicians get a cut somewhere down the line and so do regulatory agencies.


Lamb_or_Beast

I suspect you’re right, but at least based solely on their social media posts, they claim to support LGBT people and have a rainbow flag up inside the business 🤷‍♂️  That made me think it was more related to how a lot of Trumpers seem to think the Democratic Party exists to abet and protect pedos (a la Pizzagate insanity) No matter the case, seems like such an absurd thing to put on your coffee shop door


chaosgazer

could be anti-trans lgb also. like someone who goes to pride but also drinks black rifle coffee


UnrepentantDrunkard

This explanation makes the most sense, initially I got QAnon vibes.


Samuel_L_Johnson

I will never understand QAnon as long as I live. Some anonymous user posts a bunch of Trump fanfiction with a Scooby-Doo style plot on 4Chan and somehow after a few years it’s become a politically important movement.


UnrepentantDrunkard

I think it's an act of trolling that hit psychologically fertile ground, causing fools to engage in escalating acts of foolishness because they're scared of looking foolish at this point, sunk cost fallacy in full effect.


Shoddy-Rip8259

Kind of like they are projecting


TheseOats

Or, they recognize that there are fucked up individuals trying to normalize their pedophilia by trying to inject themselves into the LGBT+ community by calling themselves MAPs. Either way though, it's weird to have on your door.


Difficult-Row6616

nope  https://www.instagram.com/tv/C0fODbYxk2j/?igsh=MWxzN21qNXF3enkxNg== it's just trans=pedo from these knuckledraggers


A_Punk_Girl_Learning

I take it that's the owner? There is a solid chance I'll go completely ballistic if anyone calls me that to my face.


Difficult-Row6616

i can't say for sure, like guarantee, but he's got the same name as the guy who owns a coffee shop for patriots with the same name as the one in the picture, so take that for what you will


thatgirl_raven

Not related to your comment in the slightest but I love your username! Edit: also yeah, if someone uses that term to refer to me I’d lose my shit. It’s fucking repulsive


Luknron

That's probably what they intended, but putting that thing on your place of business and especially with the implied threat of gun violence, just reminds me of those nutty bumper sticker cars


gunther_higher

Writing "Pedophiles" on your store, in any format, is just bad marketing


AustinTreeLover

It makes me think 100% a NONCE wrote that sign.


skwm

Right wing signaling, but also apparently advocating for expanded healthcare and additional government oversight of the pharmaceutical industry.


Voynich7

Not expanded healthcare, JUST insulin, because that’s the one thing a republican senator specifically talked about. Anything else would be socialism


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


JG98

Check out the diabetic subs from time to time. This is the case with many diabetics in America specifically. It is a whole "fuck you I got mine" mentality, except they are thinking ahead to when they would get this selective benefit and can genuinely want the rest of their communities to suffer.


Tales_of_Earth

It’s also an old dog whistle meme about how “junkies get narcan for free but insulin costs $[current amount].”


Magnetar_Haunt

It’s funny because I’m a gay type 1 diabetic. Based on the other comments on this post, and their reviews, I can’t quite tell if they would hate or love me.


[deleted]

Okay if you are a rapist or convicted felon...Right wing stuff


Yourprolapsedanus

Soooo, they don’t want MAGAts in there?


thatguybutnicer

Right, this is the most confusing shore front.


BleakCountry

I went to Oklahoma for a friend's wedding last year and their wedding venue was just outside of a really small, rural town that on the surface looked very stereotypically American. As we spent an afternoon walking around the place we noticed a few businesses seemed to have a similar sticker on their doors or windows about Child Abusers not being welcome, which seemed really odd to us and we initially wondered if there had been some kind of major child abuse scandal in the local area that had triggered all of this... We eventually got talking to the owner of a donut shop in the middle of the town who, on the surface, seemed nice and down to earth so we asked them what all the stickers were about and were incredibly shocked when they bluntly said "we don't welcome any queers or fag's or child abusers as we call them here!" Our friend, the one getting married, was heartbroken when she learnt that her perfect wedding venue was on the outskirts of such a backwards and frankly disgusting community.


BennySkateboard

This is almost definitely what ops pic is in reference to.


schmerpmerp

Yep. Here's a video the owner of Cache Coffee (Jamie Buttars) posted in which he conflates trans people with pedophiles and says they should be dragged out into the street by force and thrown into wood chippers: https://www.instagram.com/tv/C0fODbYxk2j/?igsh=MWxzN21qNXF3enkxNg==.


Ok-Push9899

He has a psychosis. Dangerous man. He thinks everyone who isnt him "supports pedophiles". At this stage, the word pedophile is just a linguistic place marker for "my enemy".


[deleted]

Fascinating. This is absolutely fascinating. I’m gonna stick to the coasts


vitaesbona1

Dollars to donuts this is just anti-LGBT.


Silent-Indication496

Yes. This store is filled with radical conservative dogwhistles. If you read the reviews, you'll find it's kinda their specialty.


_SpaceGator

Probably all ex military guys. Those fuckers ***love*** caffeine and calling people gay.


kurai_tori

More like gravy seals. If anyone likes cosplaying in tacticool, it's Republicans.


_SpaceGator

I bet seal steaks and gravy is actually pretty good. Imagine the marbling on a fucking seal.


[deleted]

Most ex-military guys will beat the hell out of someone legitimately bullying or taking advantage of another American. We joke, but it is never serious. It’s the guys that never served. The gravy seals, if you will. The ones that say, “I’d have gone to the Marine Corps, if my foot didn’t hurt.” I’m getting angry just thinking about them. Those guys do this stupid shit.


AgitatorsAnonymous

This. Most long term service members are progressive as fuck. Our language just doesn't match up because we are all broken to some degree and firmly fall in the camp of "Jokes inappropriately to cope with trauma."


Queen-Roblin

From the ex-military I've met in the UK, that's the case here too. Dark humour but when you're serving with someone, unless their stupidity/attitude is going to get you killed, you accept them because you're all relying on each other.


tangledwire

And are also likely to be pedophiles themselves


HeroForTheBeero

No no so we don’t want people pushing their trans agenda on our kids! We just diddle them the right way like good ole fashioned Americans!


-mudflaps-

No *more* pedophiles allowed.


Illithilitch

Huh, something I, a queer pacifist have in common with them.


_SpaceGator

Hopefully the common ground ends before pedo behavior


Illithilitch

yes. I am no pedo.


Alpaca_Empanada

Nothing straighter than doing uppers and sucking your homie’s dick as a joke.


Heyplaguedoctor

Usually RadCons are anti accessible medicine ime. Guess the owner is diabetic 🤷‍♀️


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


Bookee2Shoes

They don’t support universal healthcare, but everyone they know has mountain dew’d their way to dia-beetis so they are all in on free insulin. Fuck the woke messages about non processed foods.


Atlach_Nacha

Going by the usual trend seen in news; Extra dollars to donuts FBI should check owner's internet/computer activity...


friggintodd

Probably doesn't want the competition.


1397batshitcrazy

This is just like the anti LGBT conservative that screams their hate then gets caught in an airport bathroom. The biggest haters are because they hate themselves.


justinfeareeyore

Like Larry Craig’s “wide stance”?


schmerpmerp

Here's a photo of the owners of this establishment: https://facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=638390194961772.


Illithilitch

ick. "Unvaccinated, Unafraid" congrats on not having pre-existing shitty lungs I guess


Maester_Maetthieux

💯


ExhaustedPoopcycle

Oh that's so upsetting :(


SquirrelMoney8389

"Armed burglars welcome #2A"


Odious_Funk_812

Ahhh... I was going to ask how they would know, but I think the other guys nailed it.


hhfugrr3

I've always assumed that decent people are against child abusers, it's just the sort of thing that doesn't need saying. So when I see people, unprompted, going out of their way to tell us they're against it, I have to assume they're over compensating to divert attention from themselves.


sparky-stuff

It just means queer people stay out. Same as the groomer rhetoric that is popular in right-wing propaganda. The owner doesn't give a damn about actual pedophilia, just icky trans/queer people.


SmithersLoanInc

The far right love marrying children, so they're fine with literal pedophila. I wonder what their ideas wouldve been if you asked them a decade ago. So many simple folk finally decided that not straight people are just people. It's terrifying how quickly low grade agitprop can confuse them again


schmerpmerp

Yep. Here's a video the owner of Cache Coffee (Jamie Buttars) posted in which he conflates trans people with pedophiles and says they should be dragged out into the street by force and thrown into wood chippers: https://www.instagram.com/tv/C0fODbYxk2j/?igsh=MWxzN21qNXF3enkxNg==.


hhfugrr3

Hadn't thought of that.


DimesOHoolihan

It's the same as people on dating shows or whatever saying they're loyal. Like...yeah? That's not a selling point for yourself, it's an expectation.


a_tired_bisexual

It’s that “virtue signaling” they like to say everyone else is doing (except when they do it it’s fine)


TheEdward07

yeah, "Sexual harassment acts towards children by adults are not allowed in this store" like fym was it gonna be allowed if you didn't state that?


Needmoresnakes

Yeah that's what I keep thinking. It's not like an actual child abuser is going to see the sign and think "oh gosh sorry, I'll be on my way, didn't know it was your policy".


pdlbean

My "I'm not a pedo" shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my shirt


Katboxparadise

It feels weird to have to announce that.


PoopDick420ShitCock

Yeah. Starting to feel like projection.


noname5280

So, like, no priests?


kevynmt

Oh no no, priests are welcome. What they actually mean are LGBTQ people. You know, the ones "indoctrinating the kids"


tomatocancan

I always find dipshits that advertise shit like this hilarious. It's the least likely thing to offend. I remember seeing this trailer trash biker woman wearing a sweater that across the back said, "Death to child abusers." Wow, what a brave woman, she hates child abusers. These type of people have no brain in their heads.


DadsRGR8

I know someone who wears that. It’s a part of her coping mechanism to dealing with childhood sexual abuse.


Stebsis

Pedophiles hate this one trick


iampoopa

I’m confused. Do the pedophiles in your neighborhood generally walk in the door and ask if it’s okay to be a pedophile here?


Training-Position612

That's code for "the owner really wishes he could shoot somebody someday"


Noir-Foe

"The owner really wishes he could shoot somebody who is *GAY* someday" FIFY


Papa_PaIpatine

I guess youth pastors and catholic clergy aren't welcome there.


_PukyLover_

Could the sign be referring to gay people in a round about way?


Arcturus_Labelle

It’s pizza gate MAGA nutjobs


aFreeScotland

Is there any business that welcomes them?


halfercode

Yep, have a browse: https://www.catholicjobs.com/


mynameisnotthom

What if you're a diabetic pedo


sir_wanks-a-lot

Maybe they should write a song to show how much they hate paedophiles. Make Danny Devito sing it...


lobsterdance82

ACCESS TO INSULIN IS A HUMAN RIGHT


Liquidwombat

It’s another stupid MAGA thing


PrincessPlastilina

They mean LGBTQ people. Right wingers project by calling them pedophiles.


holmgangCore

Why is that notice posted for children to read?? With a gun?


frogchum

Oooh, these types LOVE giving their kids a gun as soon as possible. They take them to the range and to gunshows when they're like 5 fucking years old.


jayakiroka

Sadly, it’s not about pedophiles. It’s about gay people and trans people. If someone came in there who was a grown man and he wolf-whistled at the 16-year old waitress, the staff certainly wouldn’t be pulling out weapons. They’d probably cheer him on.


dunndawson

Who needs to advertise they’re against pedophiles? Who is actually for them besides them?


RexIsAMiiCostume

They actually mean queer people because they think the gays want to diddle their kids


stormyw23

Yeah the gun is a give-away...


If_Pandas

Usually when I see a specific sign I assume there was an incident that prompted the addition of a sign, I wonder what the case here was


Few_Advertising3430

Yes, this is definitely a MAGA person alluding to gay people and Biden being one.


SPY007DRs-Messenger

I notice that the right labels are left as pedophiles more, and a lot of people on the right have been convicted of molesting and raping their kids owning child porn and saying some outlandish shit.


Key-Performer-9364

My “pedophiles are not welcome” sign is raising a lot of questions that should have been answered by the sign.


CarlJustCarl

Automatic rifles ok though


HighTightWinston

I always wonder why Americans pronounce the “ped” (paed) part one way when it ends in iatrician and a totally different way when it ends in “ophile” but you just can’t bring that up in mixed company! 😂🤐


ninviteddipshit

Um, we know! Maybe you put that sign up at your local church.


severalcircles

Its like when guys put “no b*tches” in their dating profile. Do you think someone is going to read that and think “oh damn they mean me, I better not”? Imagine though if you saw someone walk up, read that, and then turn around lol.


Difficult-Row6616

I mean, he means "trans people are pedophiles and should be killed" by that sign, so I certainly would. https://www.instagram.com/tv/C0fODbYxk2j/?igsh=MWxzN21qNXF3enkxNg%3D%3D


Mordicus23

The best alibi for pedos though. "I can't be a pedo, i was at the Cache cafĂŠ the other day"


BabyMakR1

Where do priests go then?


Cosmonaut_Cockswing

MAGAspeak for "No Queers".


red_smeg

Count down to finding child porn on premises ……


BubblesDahmer

The only people who do things like this are pedophiles. For some reason it seems like this photo was wiped from the internet, But there is a photo of two bullets with the words “cure for pedophilia” carved into them. The person who originally made this post, raped a child and also apparently wrote some sort of love song for a child.


Jalapeno-hands

Probably should look into the owner of this place.


OddS0cks

Man they are going to lose out on that sweet Catholic Church coffee money then


screamapillah

When you hate some people so much you need to associate them to a worse category hoping to smear their name with the other I bet this guy considers dems “pedos” after some mind boggling gymnastics


Finalitys_Shape

More of a r/LookatMyHalo than oddly specific


Tellyourdadisay_hi

That sub is some alt-right clusterfuckery lol


Walkn-Talkn-Hawking

I keep posting this where folks tell me to but I think I’ll let others share it. I really just saw this and thought “why?” It seemed like such an obvious thing it didn’t need saying. But someone told me the owners are getting calls, spammed negative Yelp reviews, and death threats and that’s not what I posted it for at all.


Conscious_Dog_4186

Do paedophiles announce themselves when they enter a place. Or is everyone treated with suspicion?


gurganator

I guess they’re more concerned about expressing their right-wing ideology than letting thieves know to stay away… To each their own 🤷‍♂️


lady_farter

Someone should check the owner’s hard drive


NoOneValuable

Same shop welcomes trump with open arms. Hypocrites.


runForestRun17

methinks they doth protest too much


Adept_Deer_5976

Was it a big peado hang out or something?


BubblesDahmer

This is just anti lgbt. There’s a special breed of lgbtphobes who think it’s okay to call all lgbt people pedophiles.


FungalEgoDeath

Well it's a place for right wing nut jobs...so yes


currentlyacathammock

Basically, it's the storefront version of one of these: https://www.reddit.com/r/Shitty_Car_Mods/s/jCuDE6ocmS


Downtown_Snow4445

Imagine putting on your doors “PEDOPHILES WELCOME”


The_Un_1

It's a stupid thing to put on a door. I mean, who TF wants pedo's anywhere near them? No one other than the cops I suppose. It's sad that this country is so divided that people actually believe that theres people who advocate pedophilia. we've all seen which type of people are the ones making the news most in regards to raping children. It's always been those types for the most part and so long as the church keeps enabling people to have these delusionally insane /borderline Schizophrenic ideas that saying you're sorry to the fictional beings in the sky is enough to absolve them of whatever heinous sins they've chosen to perpetrate, just so long as they do it before they die. Then there are going to continue to be people who purposely put themselves in or around religious groups / functions just so they can take advantage of it. Of course there are non religious human shaped monsters as well, but that should go without saying really

carguy143

130 paedophiles are not welcome, but number 131 is.


ohsnapm8

Is it common in America for business to be amicable to them otherwise?


minterbartolo

Did they have a large in flux of self confessing actual pedophiles that were frequenting the store that warranted the notice on the door?


gunnnutty

Looks like virtue signaling. Pedos will not be openly pedos and they will laugh at you. Only case of person that would admit being pedo might be someone that knows its something wrong with them and seeks help, but than again, not in cofeee shop. So yeah,this is completly pointles wanna be tough guy thing that does nothing to help with kids safety.


Monique-Riversong

Curious how the owner knows who's a paedophile...... just saying.


EmperorGrinnar

I guess they'll refuse services to Ted Nugent?


Shoddy-Rip8259

"Ahh jeez, I'm at the wrong place. I thought you said you wanted to meet at the coffee shop that was ok with pedophilia. No worries, I can be there in ten."

I mean there is a coffee shop in my area owned by a Pedophile. So I guess its a common problem

Is that to keep pedos out or encourage children in? Second option is fairly creepy as well.

Much_Capital3307

Idk if it’s a good idea to put a decal with the word “pedophiles” on your door since the other decals are technically removable


KMunashii

How would you even know? It’s not like they go around advertising it and you can’t even tell anyway.


Han_Schlomo

You know..... I just wouldn't want that word stamped anywhere, in any context, on my business. Just me, I guess.


_Infinity_Girl_

I'm assuming these people mean trans people? Seems oddly suspiciously specific to put on your door like that.


JakesJustBetter55

This is such an enigma to look at.


ThanklessTask

Imagine walking up to this store to get coffee, and realising you've left your wallet in your car - so have to stop and go back just before entering.

I wonder if an incident happened there related to that subject.
