   • 1995, Thomas E. Schmidt, “Sexuality from the Beginning”, in Straight & Narrow? Compassion & Clarity in the Homosexuality Debate, Downers Grove, Ill.: InterVarsity Press, →ISBN, page 62:

     Thousands of pedophiles are forced to hide their natural orientation for fear of social disgrace. Thus we must attribute any evidence of psychological maladjustment or occasional behavioral excesses largely to a repressive society that has forced pedophiles to think badly of themselves. In our pedophilophobic society, homosexual pedophiles are a persecuted minority within a persecuted minority, and they are therefore all the more deserving of civil rights (including affirmative action), all the more appropriate as standard-bearers of a theology of liberation.

   • 2007, Elisabeth Ladenson, “Vladimir Nabokov: Lolitigation”, in Dirt for Art’s Sake: Books on Trial from Madame Bovary to Lolita, Ithaca, N.Y.: Cornell University Press, →ISBN, page 192:

     The battlefield of representation has mostly shifted from literature and film to the internet and the intermittently Michael Jackson–fueled media, but the battle itself continues apace, not only in the United States but in general. (To cite one relevant if minor example, in the late 1990s a novel called Rose Bonbon was suppressed in France because it was felt to present an apologia for pedophilia.) In the late-twentieth- and early-twenty-first-century atmosphere of pedophilophobic fervor, with beauty pageants for the under-seven set and makeup and jewelry lines marketed directly to prepubescent girls at the same time that the pedophile is public enemy Number One, Nabokov’s novel [Lolita] seems at once remarkably prescient and almost quaint.

   • 2011 February 26, Ian Jackson, “Man films Child^[sic] on phone in Asda”, in uk.legal‎^[1] (Usenet), archived from the original on 29 September 2025:

     I was unaware that it is, per se, an offence to film or take 'ordinary' pictures of children. Nor does the fact that this is done in a supermarket make it illegal. Of course, in the present pedophilophobic climate, doing so can be construed (in certain circumstances, possibly with some justification) to be breaking some other law - which is what appears to have happened here.
