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.
@Tfmonkey - Working theory: post pubescent female minors, display behavioral traits of femininity that used to be found in grown women - and they have tits. So, count another casualty to gynocentrism and the missing pimp hand.
Attraction to prepubescent females, is tougher to figure out. So far, I put that in the serial killer category - a certain small percentage of loose screws, that like the poor, will always be with us.
@YoMomz all child molesters are pedophiles, but not all pedophiles are child molesters, but it's rational to shame and stigmatize pedophilia so it doesn't mature into child molestation.
As for why it happens? Probably the same reason gay people happen, hormone imbalances and being molested themselves as children.
@Tfmonkey - I agree with the broad strokes. I guess I have a vested interest in ending the negative consequences.
I have an eye to the rebuild effort in the post-collapse. And this topic is a tough one, not in terms of defining right and wrong, but in determining cause and effect. And in terms of prevention, because the material dependency of the victims is real.
So I feel a strong sense of duty in getting that right, in the accuracy of diagnosis. I'll keep theorizing. Cheers, sir. 🍻
