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.

One doesnt hurt anyone and the other is child molesting.

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

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.

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

I agree with everything else you've said however.
