The other important part of why cults/religions have a "pedophile problem" it that in any system where some people are claimed to be more "holy" than others, it creates a very exploitable power imbalance. And worse, because they are in reality just humans like the rest of us, with normal human failings, the illusion that they are something more must be maintained dishonestly. This creates a strong incentive for such things as sexual exploitation (of children or otherwise) to be hushed up.

I do agree with most everything you said, though. But not this:

The pedophiles use characters from children's shows in sexual contexts as a way to groom the children. Any kind of rule 34 google search will confirm this.

That's silly. They don't draw Penny naked to groom kids. They draw her naked because they grew up watching Inspector Gadget and think she's hot.

Correct the people making the pornography are not usually pedophiles themselves. But the pedophiles will use pornographic images of the shows children are interested in as a way to groom them. If you read crime reports you'll see a lot of this cited. Not that I recommend it as it's quite depressing.

The real issue is how easy the access to pornography is to children. A kid going on Google searching for their favorite TV show shouldn't have a bunch of NSFW links mixed into the bunch. I think Google and other search engines need to explicitly remove adult links from search results for children's media.

Why would you draw naked kids if you're not a pedophile?

But I'd be interested in reading any examples of "Rule 34" content being used for grooming, as depressing as it may be. I remain skeptical that this is really a thing, but I'm always open to new information. (Using real CP for grooming I can believe, that makes a bit more sense).

Why would you draw naked kids if you're not a pedophile?

Horny teenagers tend to do stupid things. Although I agree that if it's actually including very young kids even if fictional that is deeply troubling and likely indicative of sexual abuse.

You can Google "arrested for Simpsons porn" for a start that's a fairly common occurrence and usually coincides with other crimes.

All I found was this insane case from Australia where a judge ruled that The Simpsons are "people". Nothing about grooming.
