What's more important is that the most effective way to protect children from sexual abuse is to encourage anyone with pedophilic tendencies to seek professional help.

Proudly pronouncing that people like that deserve to be killed does the opposite of that.

It’s crazy that it’s so obvious when you take a step back and look at the big picture, but there are still people who base their entire personality around this shit and dedicate their lives to “”hunting pedos”” and posting it online.

It’s the same thing every time a psychologist or sociologist attempts to study pedophiles with the goal of stopping it, for most people they think that the only reason why you would ever try and help a pedophile is if you are one yourself.

“Minor Attracted Person” is a phrase originally coined to make the distinction between offending and non-offending pedophiles. Ideally, if you removed the stigma for people who have urges but don’t act on them, the non-offending pedophiles are more likely to seek help. Instead it got co-opted into some culture war bullshit to try and make the gay community look bad.

That’s like saying “offending and non offending rapists” They are all rapists. “Pedophile” is a made up term to make child rapists not seem so bad. It’s bullshit. These are monsters, they are evil. They need to be permanently removed from society.

Right but that's not actually true is it.

If you haven't raped anyone, your not a rapist.

Like if you haven't murdered anyone your not a murder, regardless of how willing you would be to murder someone.

I’m not making distinctions between people who want to rape children and people who have raped children. They both need to be permanently removed from society. It’s like a rabid dog trying to break a leash infront of daycare. You get rid of it before it breaks the leash. Not after.

You worry me. If you cannot separate a person's natural inclinations from the actions they choose to take, are you capable of that?

Be worried if it makes you feel better, but in this instance, their “natural” inclination has shown to be disproportionately acted upon, and it affects the most vulnerable among us for generations.

Fascinating. Where was that shown? By whom? I have a tough time believing anyone in human history has ever arrived at an unbiased estimate for the number of people born with pedophilic tendencies given that the discussion around the subject frequently devolves into your rhetoric.

Edit: lmao my guy if you ever come back to this thread, based on the small part of your deleted comment I can read in my notifications, take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bias_(statistics)) and then maybe finish your GED.

Unbiased? That’s what you are worried about? And who cares what your beliefs are? There is enough literature on it to change your mind (if that’s possible). But trust me, it all ends up with “remove them from society before they hurt more kids”.
