I get a few sideways looks from people, for saying that pedophile offenders aren't that different from normal people - but that they made a choice to first indulge in a fantasy, and then to offend.
And there's a bit of a joke that I used to tell, just to fuck with people for laughs, but that kind of illustrates the point.
It goes like this: Most every man has been in love with a twelve year old...
...back when he was twelve.
Offending is a conscious choice. And this justifies punishment. 🫡
@YoMomz but the thing is, if one is a non-offending pedophile they need to never admit to it. Ever. As soon as it's known they think about children they will never be looked at the same way again, and it will become necessary to treat them differently and isolate them.
So even if they don't act on it, out of sheer pragmatism you have to treat them as if they might act on it if they admit to their degeneracy.
@ButtWorldsMan - no doubt.
My goal is to understand the phenomenon, because in order to solve a problem, one must understand the problem.
It's a common view, to see pedophiles as something that is born, rather than made. And this misunderstanding can lead to misguided and ineffective "solutions", that solve nothing.
It leads to a sort of guilt from birth too. If pedophiles breed more pedophiles, then babies will be born guilty - which is usually bullshit. 🍻
I find the whole pedo debate tiresome and riddled with dishonesty.
On the one hand it's become this dumb purity test for all sides - left, right, religious - where people just want to virtue signal and throw the pedo label at anyone for anything.
On the other hand there's no denying that we have a legit pedo problem, and getting worse. Most of it is downstream from 50+ years of a sustained, coordinated attack on the Western family.
@Stahesh - Your comment reminds me of why I quit social media 10yrs ago. I used to enjoy shit-posting crass jokes, innuendo and whatnot... until I realized they were letting legit minors onto social media. And I did not need any misunderstandings in my life.
The internet used to be fun. Who the hell would let kids onto social media?? But yeah, we can't have fun things. 😕
At least there's Merovingian club. 😁🍻
