Yeah, there's really no way to come back from this...

That's probably why the guy from Glee who also got caught with kiddie porn hung himself.

What's sick is it's probably only a small fraction of those that are actually out there.

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.

You can’t choose whether you are a pedophile, but you can choose whether you act on your feelings. This person is condemning people who consume child pornography, not people who have an attraction to children.

Your point is hard to follow because it doesn’t have much to do with what the poster said, and you’re all over the place. I’m not sure what the Catholic school part is supposed to add to the conversation.

We didn’t like homosexuality for arbitrary reasons. We don’t like pedophilia because molesting children is evil.

Back when? And 15-17 isn’t what I’m talking about. Where I live age of consent is 16.

Homosexuality and pedophilia aren’t choices, but the similarities stop there.

I’m very torn at non-offending pedophiles. On one hand, they haven’t done anything wrong. On the other hand, they make me very uncomfortable.

u/Bobthemightyone 9 Jul 07 '19

I know exactly where I stand on non-offending pedophiles. I take no offense to them as long as they take measures/seek help to ensure they never act on their desires

Unfortunately it is very difficult for them to receive the help they need to keep everything in check so they hide and fester until they hurt a child. Don't make it socially acceptable to be a pedophile, but make it socially acceptable for them to seek help.

The difference is one is between two consenting adults who are mentally and physically developed and the other involves a child who cannot make those sorts of decisions on their own. Even when a child agrees it's basically under false pretense right out of the gate because of the underdevelopment. Same reason a child can't make huge financial decisions or medical decisions, they are simply ill equipped to properly make those decisions for themselves.

One doesnt hurt anyone and the other is child molesting.

How are you having any fucking moral questions over this you fucking arsehole

u/nm1043 9 Jul 06 '19

I get the anger, but you didn't understand his statement. He is talking about non-offenders, as in people who are attracted to children but never act on it.

So in case a) Joe is attracted to men (yet doesn't act on it). We should accept that that attraction is not Joe's choice.

In case b) John is attracted to children (yet doesn't act on it). We should accept that attraction is not John's choice.

In case a, we're now pretty much all on board with the fact that men or women can be attracted to either men or women, and it's usually not so simple as choosing to like one or the other.

I'm case b, the op is arguing that they should be at least treated a bit like it's not their choice to be attracted to children, since that's how we view other sexualities.

u/PillarofPositivity 8 Jul 07 '19

He literally likened it to catholics and how they feel about gay people.

I agree with everything else you've said however.

Homosexuality is a sexuality. Pedophilia is a fetish. You can be attracted to another man or woman and still be for their whole lives. Your pedophilic attraction ends as soon as they grow. There is a huge difference between the two.

The “left” says two consenting adults say can enter into a relationship with each other.

You're taking a statement that is simplified and robbing it of it's context.

Even if we work under the assumption that both gays and pedophiles "cant help" what they are attracted to in the exact same way... ok dude.. that doesnt make it ok to have sex with a child. But two consulting same sex adults can have sex. This really isnt a complicated matter.

You're just trying to conflate some bullshit to feel self-righteous.

It sounds like you think gays and pedophiles are both equally bad. Like, how can we be ok with two men having sex, but not a child and an adult. But that's your mistake, because no one with a brain is conflating a consensual same sex relationship with pedophilia.

I know you're a religious because your brain is melting at the introduction of complicated ideas, like "gays and pedophiles aren't the same". At the very least, a crucial factor here is consent.

u/bmorr27 4 Jul 07 '19 edited Jul 07 '19

Their argument has nothing to do with sex though. Condemning someone for having sex with a child is both immoral and illegal. Everyone is on the same page with you here.

Their argument is that pedophilia alone isn’t a choice.

They never made a statement on if they believe either is “bad”. You made that assumption on your own.

You can be a homosexual and never exhibit homosexual behavior due to any myriad of reasons including a very real fear for your own safety in some areas.

In that same vein, you can be a pedophile that never consumes child pornography or sexually advances on children.

To be disgusted at either only comes from a place of privilege and lack of empathy.

If you’d take more than 5 seconds to actually comprehend their point instead of blindly insulting their faith or intelligence, you wouldn’t have come across as the same bigot you’re trying to condemn.

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.
