Original Note:
Grooming is a well documented child abuse tactic. The word "groomer" is in practice used exclusively as a homophobic insult. Someone with a substantive concern would not need to resort to the label: they could cite specific behavior beyond existing near children while queer. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/lgbtq-abuse-spikes-online-fueled-intensifying-culture-war-rcna24904
