There is actually more to the story. Firstly, to be clear- over AT LEAST 3 years Bunag was extremely active in online pedophile chats including “exchanging” child porn with other pedophiles- including a mainland US teacher who exchanged over 3,000 messages with him in that time.
Secondly, Bunag was later arrested after the initial charges and admitted to having sex with a former student who was age 13 at the time. Multiple times. Sometimes st school, and sometimes taping it. It is also of note that Bunag distributed and made other videos with other victims and distributed many of those. Not that even a single count of child porn isn’t sick enough, but the point is the headline doesn’t necessarily capture the full gravity of the situation or the fact that he is a predator with multiple victims. Of course the majority of the political right wing are not pedophiles, and you’re going to find sickos like this all across the spectrum just like you’ll find decent people all across it
If you are referring to the statement:
“Of course the majority of the political right wing are not pedophiles,” I was not saying Bunag is right wing- as you point out, he was attacking those on the political right with implications that those with right leaning beliefs who speak out against what they see as sexual predation do children are pedophiles. I was leading on with the disclaimer that he is obviously wrong and there is no direct correlation between being politically right wing and being a child predator, then finishing up that it is also not inherent that any other political alignment left/right is disproportionately so. I apologize for any confusion.
To your other question on Bunag politics- I don’t know enough to say. I assume he is left leaning as he attacked right wing politics, but attacking right wing politics doesn’t necessarily make one left leaning as centrists for example might attack left and right leaning political views, and of course people with a leaning to one side of the spectrum or the other may sometimes attack what they see as a majority group with similar leanings but different values or who is more or less extreme. If I HAD to get money I would guess from context Bunag is left leaning, though that is speculation.
