“It’s just the old tradition! Pure buddhism!” People apparently only need to show a thing in a religious light and deprogrammers will jump in with their support.
Edit: i look now, the two pedo defenders got purged, but in the meantime my apparently very hot take was downvoted:
Critique? They just said old pedo should do it to Tibetan child which is already groomed to such pedo traditions so the child would not be scared. Also they wrote even more in that thread, and got upvoted even after being obliterated in the comments.
The hell with such “critique”, that’s a support.
