    What about French philosophers named Princess?

      A lot of them were pedophiles and used their positions as published academics to argue the “philosophy” of “child love”. Pitbulls also have a bad wrap around kids.

        Keep in mind that France produces a lot of philosophy in general, and there’s plenty of grassroot and intellectual pushback to the ideas.

        You could also just as easily, for example, make this joke about the founders of American “libertarianism,” arguably a kind of philosopher.

          Yeah but only in France can they get called out on TV and it’s the person calling them out that gets shunned!

          Shootout to Denise Bombardier trying to get people to realise that Gabriel Matzneff is a pedo in 1990 only for Justice to wait another 30 years before launching an investigation even if he was directly referencing having sex with underage girls in his books.

          Oh yes, I am aware. There was actually a pretty hard divide amongst philosophers over this.

          Same thing in the US with beatnik writers, libertarians, etc. Any group that is seeking some form of personal liberty expansion will see pedophiles attach themselves.
