Sure, but if the knife enthusiasts group is also promoting to you a "Slashing Children With Knives Enthusiasts" group, I think it's worth criticizing.
And it is absolutely worth hiding from people who want to use it if the group in question is hosting pedophilia.
Speaking as a gay guy, there is an astroturf effort from the alt-right to try to paint the LGBT community as being so "inclusive" as to also include literal pedophiles, as if it's just another sexuality or kink, and I'd rather prefer to nip that squarely in the bud by drawing a very hard line.

I'm not going to engage with a response that's completely lacking in any semblance of good faith.
Lacking good faith would be the people trying to punish person x for what person y does, period.
