Every time someone spoofs something a pedophile would say, the impersonation is always one of labored breathing and awkward pauses.

"Hey kids.... *deep breathing* you wanna... *deep breathing" ...come over to my apartment for some candy?"

Where does that come from? There has to be a specific reference? Is it a movie character? A real person? It's such an oddly specific thing and nobody questions it.

Obviously, but what makes labored breathing creepy? It's the same impression. It has to have some origin.

I don't know if it's specifically the origin, but when I think creeps and labored breathing, I think of the trope of a woman answering the phone and only hearing someone breathing heavily on the other end, because he's jerking it hard. Then that would lead to the association between creeps and heavy breathing. Either way, it is certainly based on heavy breathing due to heightened sexual arousal.

That's probably it. It's probably an outgrowth of the creepy caller trope. Thanks.

Mouth breathing leads to bad posture and too much intake of oxygen along with deformed facial development.

I don't think the causality relationship is quite right here.
