bringing up pedophilia out of nowhere to say that a relatively mundane thing is worse than seems like it might be a sign that someone is a pedophile

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I still don't think I know what it is. At least not the "con" part. I thought it was a convention for the loli pedos.
IIRC the etymology of the "con" suffix is from "complex" as in "oedipus complex", which is to say it means someone is attracted to whatever group makes up the first half of the word. The oedipus complex in particular would be translated as "mothercon". Again IIRC, the "loli" in lolicon comes in a roundabout way from Lolita, the book by Vladimir Nabokov about a pedophile.
