"But I believe there is a fine line between active predators, and people who realize this is a sick mental disorder and seek help for it."
"I think it's too late for offending pedophiles, but I believe we should treat pedophilia in general as a mental disorder."
Best lines from this thead ^
It's disgusting and immoral to be an active pedophile. If someone's inactive I have nothing but immense respect for them; they repressed a core part of your brain, a fetish they never chose / would rather have a better one. If they want to indulge, they can find pics of it online and no one is getting hurt.
sexuality doesn't exist in a vacuum. there's no "sexy" child. the only way you find a child sexually appealing is if you're drawn to the power dynamic and abusive reality that exists within sexualization of children. there's no "good" pedophile. all pedophiles get off to the idea of victimizing children, and thus are morally irredeemable.
anyway, i'm done engaging with the pedophile about whether pedophiles are bad lol
"people are BORN attracted to children and it's not a conscious choice" is just as stupid as saying "people are BORN attracted to the elderly instead of just seeing a population of people who often times lack the resources to resist predators and are easily intimidated/physically overpowered".
the no option was originally going to be "no, let them do whatever they want" but i thought it would be bad to even have that as a joke option and even worse as a serious one
idk i mean im not a pedophile so i dont really get it but i also feel like pedophilia is never like really a choice? idk if that makes sense im tired but like i feel like a lot of people dont *choose* to want to like want to do that? like most predators realize it's wrong. or at least i hope!
