I definitely understand what you’re saying, but there have to be people who find children attractive but don’t act on it so consent isn’t really the issue there, but we still have the problem of how society sees those people and the possibility of the mental anguish those people must feel. I can’t imagine what it must feel like to be “the worst human trash in the history of the world” while also not behaving in that way. :(
I guess it’s more of a “them” problem as they aren’t acting on their attractions, maybe society shouldn’t be involved in that one? I don’t know… It just bothers me when I see that kind of hatred when there’s no way 100% of pedophiles actually act on their attractions.
Quick reminder of the thread so far.
Dark humor shitpost about liberts and idf saying 12 yr olds aren’t kids.
Mild honest defense of libertarianism that either misunderstood or is gleefully playing straight in a shit post about dead kids.
A dog whistle about pedo healthcare.
Your thoughtful question.
Me honestly answering it with a dash of pissposting.
You asking about the hypothetical ideal innocent pedo and now I’m wondering if you’re shitposting too and I fell for it.
No definitely not shit posting lol sorry if it seemed that way.
I didn’t want to really reveal anything, but this is a personal thing as I know someone who is in this situation. And no I’m not reporting them, that’s not only a literal death sentence for them but I’ve known this person long enough to know they’d never hurt anyone. They opened up about seeing pictures when we were drunk a long time ago and so it bothers me when I see the hatred because I think of my friend so I’m just getting a feel for what people think.
Then this sounds like an actual mental health thing and not a dog whistle. I don’t actually have any answers. Just years of experience reading useless internet comments.
Seek a professional if you can. I don’t even know if you’re in a nation where just looking for help wouldn’t get you or your friend killed. Good luck.
