If you want to know if any of your friends are pedophiles, text them "HAPPY CNY"
If they respond with "what's CNY" you can tell them it means Chinese New Year, and your friend isn't a pedophile.
If they respond with 😭 😭 😭 then you're friend is a pedophile.
@Tfmonkey - If I may offer a small distinction for consideration: I understand CNY refers to anime lolis, right?
I've been around a doujin manga or two... and lolis are nothing like actual children - in demeanor and behavior that is. My point being: lolis ≠ children.
Lolis tend to be little sexpots and pinups, sprung forth from the imagination and a pen. Whereas actual children are generally needy & annoying little shits (that require immense investment to be turned into functional adults).
@Tfmonkey - Would there be some venn diagram overlap between cny enthusiasts and actual pedos? I'm sure.
But being one of either category, doesn't mean a person is necessarily the other as well.
Just a thought. 🤔🍻
Edit: I've heard TFM's views on losing respect for people. So I'll volunteer the reason it's an area of interest for me. I was raised in a house with horrific sexual child abuse, & very real consequences. My larger aim, is to get to the bottom of why it happens. Also, I like anime.
I suspect there is another group with a incredibly high IQ who is not caught and never imprisoned and who they have no statistics on
There are two categories
1
People who have very high IQ and high impulse control and who choose not to commit the crime as opposed to the group who was caught who I suspect have low impulse control and low IQ and was stupid enough to commit the crime
2
So called "Satanists" who work on the same team as the government and are not arrested
@shortstories @Tfmonkey - Why only banishment for someone's own kids? 🤔 Well, false accusations are so common, and you can't reverse a beheading. But if someone ends up exonerated, you can always un-banish them. And in such a case, the false accuser would be banished instead at the discretion of the victim (a father may not wish to banish their child after exoneration - so that would be up to them. Though something tells me a husband would be much less forgiving of a treacherous wife).
@shortstories @Tfmonkey - I have suspected much the same for a long time. I'm an avid student of history, and it's not hard to find accounts throughout the ages. I think it's just part of the human toolbox. The problem, is in the act, and the consequences of the act. So for that reason:
High IQ + impulse control + not committing the crime = no problem
Committing the crime = problem
Problem is addressed by beheading for targeting someone else's kids, and by banishment for someone's own kids.
