So I was reading around on the internet and apparently people are actually fighting for "Pedosexuals"... it's as it sounds, pedophiles. It baffles me that people are actually such SJW that they could argue for such a thing.... if you don't believe me search for the "fckh8" posters and articles. man.....
only animals abandon their kids and family and friends. Humans stick to friends even when they are wrong. they try and get them out of it. If a friend is wrong and you abandon him then what do you think will happen to the friend? your friend will create further problems for others probably and you will have taken a cool way out to save yourself. Instead you should try and help the friend in any way you can without breaking the laws yourself. helping a person only when the person is correct means you are no better. you can always do something for your friend. even if the friend is a murderer, you can help him change. him being a murderer does not mean he should die without being given another chance.

honestly i think paedophilia strikes a chord with most people of being a real existential inflammation, a vileness hitting really close to home in everyone's sorrow. most people take their issues from having been children after all. paedophilia's like the motherf'er of causing issues in kids. i don't know, the idea of having sex with children for me seems to absolutely reduce us anyway. i struggle enough with being a plain old hetero lol

It's like knowing your friend wants to stab everyone.... would you still be friends with them if they actually did stary stabbing people

it's really really bizarre to me that a) this is the line in the sand and b) you wouldn't somehow feel culpable in their actions after knowing how they felt
because there shouldn't be a difference in the way society treats physical and mental illnesses and society has a ton of work to do in order to overcome the stigmas surrounding mental illness

i mean i'd play chess with a paedophile i locked up in jail or whatever lol. my brain also went to such ethical considerations, billstickers. but i'm not going to be 'friends' with him in any conventional sense.
Ok. So what if you learned of your friend's "preferences" during a special dream state, during which you are given the option to forget entirely that your friend is a pedophile.
You are still told in the dream state that it'll never come to light, and that your friend will never act in any way.

I wouldn't stop being friends with someone because they told me they had cancer, and that honestly isn't any different to me. If anything I have an ethical responsibility to continue the friendship in order to do everything in my power to prevent them from acting on their urges.

Yeah but it's one of those hypotheticals in which the idealist answer is correct in nearly every scenario outside of the one that would exist if the hypothetical were real
This is an entirely different and less interesting question because everyone would say that the opinion of others doesn't matter in a vacuum but nearly everyone would abandon that friend in practice if they were at risk of being smacked down by the societal judgment stick, because losing your life and career isn't worth a friendship
Yes, it is. But this is a hypothetical I'm using to attempt to confuse Rutab, it's not bound by normal laws of common sense.

First of all the idea that you can be "sure" they'd never act on their urges is ridiculous
As far as the ethics of remaining friends with that person it more or less boils down to what, if anything, they're doing to get help. The fact that they were able to reach out and talk about it with you in the first place is probably a good sign.
