Both? I'm gonna say both. This argument is basically falling for the "Black and White" fallacy.
If it were worded like... "One of these groups definitely hurts children more"...you could probably get away with it though.
But the way it's worded is basically a claim into itself that the bottom group has NEVER...EVER harmed a child. Which, being an absolutist statement probably doesn't hold water.
The top group is definitely more responsible for hurt children simply by measure of influence - that's undeniable.
Both serial killers and librarians kill innocent strangers for no reason. Whew, I’m glad I’m being so clever and avoiding the black and white fallacy!
The real fallacy is religion
