    I know it sounds way less catchy in the meme, but imo it’s worth being explicit and saying “child rapists” instead - someone who’s attracted to children but has morals and won’t act on it (I’d guess this is many or even most of them) deserves therapy and compassion, not death

        I think you misread what I said as trying to protect child rapists - please reread it, I absolutely agree rapists like epstein and the pieces of shit he enabled deserve the wall. I’m saying people who were born attracted to children won’t all act on it, the same way you (presumably) can find someone attractive and not rape them, and the ones who aren’t rapists don’t deserve hate.

        By conflating pedophilia and child abuse you give cover to child abusers. Most of the time children are abused because they’re vulnerable. It’s actually the only reason we have statutory rape/abuse material laws.

        Dude, please use your brain instead of just going with your gut reaction. Going with gut reactions is a big reason why so much is fucked up.

    Always keep in mind that pedophilia is not a choice. It is a sexual orientation that cannot be healed or changed. Just like homosexuality. Do you want to throw homosexuals in the shredder, too?

      to be clear, it is not a sexual orientation, at least not yet; it is a paraphilic disorder (a fetish that either 1. brings harm to self or others if satisfied, or 2. causes the bearer distress).

      also to be fair, homosexuality used to be listed as a “sexual deviation”. our standards on what is considered a sexual orientation versus a paraphilia may change with time; case in point: pederasty was a socially-acceptable thing in ancient greece and rome.

        The labeling does not change the fact that the person does not having it voluntary. The key difference is just that one is (usually) between consenting adults, and the other is not.

          well, technically, that difference is what separates paraphilias from paraphilic disorders.

          that being said, i am in complete agreement that it is not voluntary, and that bit is a commonality between sexual orientations and fetishes - i did not choose to be sexually attracted to men, nor did i choose to be sexually attracted to dragons.

      Womp womp poor “MAPS” too bad their “sexuality” is aimed at fucking minors. Once again PEDOS #1 at being the only harmful “sexuality”.

        I never rated harmfulness or lack of consent. I just quoted a fact about being caught in a type of sexuality.

        It’ll never be done because t’s not a problem eugenics can fix.

        It’s like saying if we killed everyone who has a foot fetish, no one would be into feet anymore.

        A better solution would be to allow people who haven’t harmed a child the opportunity to seek help without destroying their lives.

        People like Trump don’t do it because they find children sexy. They do it because they get off on completely destroying the most vulnerable with impunity. The more damaging, the better it feels.

      Sterilization does nothing except preventing babby from being born. And most of these subhumans are also old… like, grandfather old.

      The term you are likely reaching for is castration.

      That is effective, especially if you remove everything; both twig and berries.

        Indeed I meant castration. Remove the compulsions while leaving the person alive and not having taxpayers pay to jail or monitor them the rest of their lives.
