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.
Michael Langone, Steven Hassan, Ted Patrick wrote books about cult deprogramming and did not say to join a specific major religion in the books I read
Unlike some badly written books by so called Christians that say their doctrine does not agree with the Bible therefor the group is bad but do not correctly represent the Bible
Sex abuse is a theme in cults
I have a lot more ideas to your question but I do not have time to discuss it now
@shortstories @Tfmonkey - I'm not at all surprised about sex abuse in cults - or religions. Both are a means of power.
And one of the biggest reasons to pursue power, is access to sex & reproduction. For a pedo, it'd be all the same.
In my ideal post-collapse society, in-group females would only ever have one partner: their husband. And their fathers (or guardians) would choose their husbands (up to 10yrs older). Females would be eligible at 16. No-sex courting (negotiations) starts at 15.
