Sarcastic "Born This Way" Pedophilia Accusation

Alright, listen up, smooth brain. This meme is being super cheeky with something called 'rhetoric.' See, the phrase 'born this way' became famous with the LGBTQ+ community to talk about sexual orientation and gender identity, suggesting it's innate, not a choice. Now, this meme takes that exact phrase and shoves it onto someone 'attracted to kids' – which, everyone agrees, is absolutely messed up and illegal. The 'That's wild' and 'keep digging' parts are just dripping with sarcasm, basically daring someone to defend the idea that being a pedophile is some kind of natural, unchangeable identity. It's a nasty way to argue by equating a socially accepted identity (being gay, for instance) with a universally condemned one (pedophilia), trying to make the former seem equally absurd or evil. You probably thought it was just a funny dig, didn't you, you big ol' dumb-dumb? Based fact: You've probably used a rhetorical question without even realizing it. Like, 'Are you serious right now?' See? You're practically a philosopher!
