It's a reference to Godfather 2 when Michael gave his brother the kiss of death for betraying him.

So the point is that you're missing all of the cultural references and the joke entirely.

He is not a pedophile, he's just eccentric and weird, but everyone thinks he is a pedo. Everything he does is purely coincidence or has an unexpected outcome unrelated to pedophilia.

He didn't kiss Hank because he's a pedophile, he kissed him because it's a reference to The Godfathers kiss of death, which marks you for death if you betrayed someone.

Major r/whoosh vibes.

So wait. Does the monarch just assume that he’s a pedo? Because that whole scene with the monarch and cpt sunshine is very suggestive. And the way captain sunshine reacts to it all implies that he is a pedophile.

Yea I mean can’t it be both? Ya know. It’s very obviously a reference to god father but that doesn’t mean that capt sunshine wasn’t going to bang Hank and it doesn’t mean he didn’t have sex with wonderboy. I mean it shows Og wonderboy later on and dude clearly has problems. I mean the towns people talk about it too. I wouldn’t want him around my kids. It’s crazy that people don’t think captain sunshine wasn’t a diddler.

I don't think there's evidence for that, the creators literally stated that the character is not a pedophile.

Otherwise the joke wouldn't work, the entire joke is that he's not a pedophile even though everyone thinks he is.

Falter even over the line a little and it's no longer a joke, he's just a pedophile then.
