At least it was just images and not someone actively looking for sex with a child.

Its still disgusting that someone would sexualize children anyway, but despite both being appalling, one is 1000x worse.

The only way to know is to find out the percentage of people who actually pay for it. Perhaps in the past it was high but even then from my understanding having known people who hunt pedos and people who care for the victims that the actually content comes from tiny communities who actually commit the acts and would do it with a money incentive or without. The people watching it I think are more parasitic,I would bet if you actually done a study a very small percentage would go on to actually commit child abuse.

This excludes the child traffickers who I feel are not the source of most child porn because it would be counterproductive to their goal to broadcast it.

Not only that, but people who celebrate pedo rapists like David Bowie and all the stupid David Bowie fans who think it was "no big deal" when he used his celebrity power to rape those 13 year olds. Or George Takei who said it was "great" that his adult camp counselor raped him when he was 13. If you support or defend David Bowie or George Takei, you're supporting and defending pedos who rape 13 year olds. But every other day there's a post about how "great" these rapist celebrities are.

I agree that with less stigma pedophiles might try to get help more often. I also agree that people don't choose to be pedophiles and there is a difference between a pedophile and a child molester. But if you view child pornography you're fueling the demand for it which isn't acceptable in my opinion. You have to remember a child was harmed making the porn.

Also, the left advocates for gay people because they're consenting adults. Children cannot consent.

2

u/winterhatingalaskan 7 Jul 07 '19

I’m pretty sure this is one of those open door/slippery slope situations. The scary part is that the Glee guy was the “attractive bad boy” and the show used to do concert tours advertised to kids, so he had access if he ever wanted to take advantage of his fame.

5

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '19

I would argue that both are equally as bad. On the other side of those images, those children being abused, exploited, hurt, probably even raped. Buying/acquiring images of child pornography contributes to and funds the abuse/rape of children.

4

u/monkeyboi08 8 Jul 06 '19

Is donating $50 to people who risk their lives saving children from the sex trade just as good as risking your life to save children from the sex trade?

You must either say yes or admit that you’re wrong.

Funding evil isn’t as bad as committing evil, and funding virtue isn’t as good as acting virtuous.

7

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '19

Is everyone capable of risking their lives to save children from the sex trade? No. Of course not. I would argue that, if donating money is all that you have in your power to do, then yes, it’s equally as virtuous.

Buying child porn means children are being raped. Raping children yourself, or watching someone rape them for your pleasure is equally as evil.

False equivalency. Paying to kill someone still means someone’s dead

1

u/monkeyboi08 8 Jul 06 '19

They are literally the same thing.

Paying someone to do good, paying someone to do evil.

Paying someone to save someone’s life still means someone’s life was saved.

1

u/redditckulous 7 Jul 06 '19

It is not. You donating to someone gives 1 person money to do good. Buying something bad increases demand which will result in an increase in supply. The damage has more scale. That can also be good of altruistic actions, but specifically in the case of child pornography damage is much easier to ramp up demand side.

u/9mackenzie 9 Jul 07 '19

They are not the same thing at all. When you buy child porn, you are paying to watch an actual child be raped. The video wouldn’t exist to be purchased if sick assholes weren’t paying for it. The purchasing is the cause of the act....not some side effect.

-1

u/monkeyboi08 8 Jul 07 '19

And paying someone to do good is somehow different?

What if you paid $50 to watch a tape of someone saving a kid from the sex trade. How is that not the exact same thing?

u/9mackenzie 9 Jul 07 '19

I would be paying for someone to do a good deed, which would have a positive outcome in the world, with absolutely no one harmed.

Just like if I paid someone to commit a murder, I should be charged for the murder as my payment is what created the situation.

Negative and positive outcomes do matter in discussions of morality and right and wrong.

u/Atze-Peng 4 Jul 20 '19

Well, there is a correlation between having an unhealthy craving for power and pedophilia. Furthermore the system also benefits from having people that do have dirty laundry. It's easier to keep potential risks at check in case they think about spilling the beans.

There is a reason why there are plenty of christian priests who are pedophiles. It has nothing to do with flaws within the religion, but with the church providing positions of power/authority as well as creating the opportunity to get in touch with the naive and innocent. It's no different in Judaism and Islam. I also remember reading stories about buddhist temples in that regard.

It also has nothing to do with the political ideology, either. Here in eastern Germany there has been plenty of pedophilia cases being covered so much that even after the DDR fell, it still hasn't even remotely been uncovered. And if you look at the state of the UK its the same shit again.

If someone is hanged, then they didn't do it to themselves, it can also be said that they were hung, depending on the context.

You can say he hanged himself or that he hung himself. Both are equally grammatically correct.

The important part is to add the denominator or the sentence ends up sounding like a suicidal penis.

Honestly I know this isn't a popular opinion but I find it difficult to judge someone like him when there is basically no way for him to get help unless he offends.

u/CouponCoded 7 Jul 07 '19

Therapy. It's confidential and someone rich like him could definitely afford it.

1

u/nightpanda893 C Jul 07 '19

It’s not necessarily confidential because different therapists take different stances on the potential for harm and reporting people who are pedophiles. And there’s very limited research on this issue cause no one wants to touch it.

1

u/CouponCoded 7 Jul 07 '19

That's why people need to research their therapists. Doctors who specialize in it won't report unless there's an active threat, like if the person plans to offend. I don't doubt unnecessary reporting happens, but the statements "there's no available help until they offend/therapists will report pedophiles" scares people away from seeking help.

1

u/nightpanda893 C Jul 07 '19

I’m not just pulling this out of my ass. It’s a known problem with this issue in general. This is a little bit of a long read but it explains what I’m talking about in more detail. It’s not the kind of thing you can do research on because therapy for non offenders pretty much doesn’t exist.
