AS was one of a group of editors who do such things as look for (deceased) artists and writers who may just possibly have had paedophile tendencies and then put this supposed fact into the article, and create categories for such people, e.g. pederastic English philosophers or whatever. A good example is Jules Verne, who on the strength of merely having had only one son, plus the lack of women in his novels has 1/3 of his article devoted to his supposed paedophilia. E.g. here he is putting it back here.

The net result of this is to 'normalise' this behaviour, also to put it on a pedestal given our adulation of great artists and writers and great people generally. All highly dubious in my view. A lot of this is based on far less evidence than would be required for making the same accusation e.g. of a Wikipedia editor. And it violates WP:WEIGHT. Of the hundreds of academics and biographers who have written about Verne, why pick on the odd one who has commented on possible paedophilia?
It also creates an inherent paedo bias. As we know, ''bona fide'' academics do not edit Wikipedia, regarding it as some hideous diversion of the masses (not unreasonably). And they have no incentive to do this. A paedophile agenda pusher has every incentive to normalise this behaviour, and thus is prepared to do the necessary (highly selective) research. Anyone who wishes to challenge this, as here

is faced with a barrage of apparently impeccable research justifying the section. Thus our friend Haiduc replies

It is easy to fulminate, but I would invite you before anything else to read up a little on the topic.
How belittling! Please do a little reading before challenging the view held by all respectable academics that Jules Verne was in the habit of buggering young boys.

These are not my "theories" but are considerations put forward by eminent intellectuals, compatriots and often contemporaries of Jules Verne.
And then round off with more condescending insults, all OK by WP:CIVIL of course

Nonetheless I see you are in disagreement with them, and proposing speculation of your own to counter their conclusions. And you are accusing me of original research?! Tu blagues, mon cher.
I think I have shown sufficiently well that all the material I contributed to the article is properly documented and authoritatively sourced. I will still, as I promised earlier, contribute excerpts from the sources so as to keep within Wikipedia regulations.

What can one do? I will probably weigh in at some point and get banned again, but needs must.
