I mean, yes it's possible, it's what we're trying to do.

The real question is : Is it bad that we want to demonize educators who discuss sex with young children ?

The answer is : No. The fuck. Burn those pedos.

Actually, no. It's like libeling Hunter Biden or Charles Manson. It's impossible to demonize someone who wants to discuss sexuality with young children.

Uh ? Of course it's possible. And it's a good thing.

portray as wicked and threatening.

He means demonise has the implication of being mischaracterisation rather than descriptive. If they are already a demon, you can't demonise them (turn them into a demon). Colloquially, he's just being pedantic.

I mean, he probably didn't really know the definition of the word since it's been used as a "bad thing" for so long. But we are in fact portraying them as wicket and threatening because that's what they are.

they should stop before it evolves past calling them groomers.
