This post is about teenage girls (at the oldest) being raped by adult men and a vile woman spouting propaganda to protect them, and you’re in here talking about age of consent and sleeping with someone in your age range.
If I had to guess you aren’t actually defending pedophilia, you just might need to take a massive step back and realize what you posted was weird as shit in context. The difference between your situation and that of the epstein victims was violence, exploitation and sexual abuse. Though even lacking that, I don’t believe teenagers can truly consent to sex with adults regardless of what the law says. There are power dynamics in play that are unhealthy no matter how its spun.
I’m saying this as someone just scrolling through with no stake in your argument with others in this thread, just thought you should probably get some perspective.
Id love if the criticism would focus on the rape, forced actions and the heinous power situation of being a child or young teen stuck on an island rather than focusing on calling it “pedophiles” since that both draws focus away from justice for victims toward the perpetrators as well as putting focus on a “title” rather than an act.
Raping people are bad. Being a pedophile/hebephile is a horrible mental issue that needs to be handled before any act can happen, and so we should remove the stigma so the sufferers that hasnt commited acts can get help. These two things are not the same.
I’'m not sure why exactly you chose me to direct this to, but it seems dangerously close to you being upset and defensive that I used the term pedophile negatively.
If something I said offended you, seek help immediately before you harm someone.
I was agreeing with you and your use of the word rape resonated with an irritation I have of people discussing pedophilia (a potentially dangerous paraphilia which isnt illegal by itself) rather than the sexual crimes the victims where put through by the rapists or that the perpetrators are rapists
English is not my first language so might express myself with clumsy wordings
Edit: I believe a person can be a pedophile and a victim due to it, because the persons brain wiring is fucked up. That person deserves compassion, dignity, help and treatment, just as we help other people suffering. The moment a person hurts another sexually, especially a child, (with or without intent) that changes everything, and should be forcefully treated as an immediate and urgent threat to society and the persons around the individual.
My advice would be to stop trying to talk your way around pedophilia being problematic, because it is and it does cause harm regardless of your personal feelings on it. Or continue and get your account nuked. That honestly would be best for everyone.
Again, if you need help, seek it out before there are more victims.
Edit: Posting a screenshot of their original comment in case they try to edit what they said and make me look like the one with a problem here
It irritates me when people keep calling a rapist a pedophile, since one tells you that the person did a crime and the other did not. I refuse to call a murderer “person with violent tendencies” since its the murder thats the issue, not why the person commited it
If someone rapes a child they are a fucking pedophile, and if someone fantasizes about sex with children they are fantasizing about fucking rape.
These semantic games you want to keep playing make it abundantly clear to me that you have a serious problem and are desperately trying to justify to yourself that you don’t. Nothing you can say to me will change that.
You need to go get professional treatment before your thoughts turn into actions, because you are sick.
I didn’t finish all of your comment because it was very hostile (understandably so), so I just want to tell you that I was not familiar with the context, so I apologize for that. I see how my comment was inappropriate.
You’re misunderstanding. I didn’t read all of it because I realized what you were getting at, is all. I’m rightfully called out, and everyone calling me out is doing good work, so thank you.
I’m sorry you were subjected to sexual assault. But I’m not trying to normalize it. I just wasn’t aware of the context of the post. So again, apologies for that. My head is on straight regarding sex trafficking, believe me.

Of course pedophilia is problematic and dangerous
Something like 1 in 6 people are attracted to children but don’t act on it
It just “irritates” you when people talk about it because it’s “not illegal”
Fuck. Off.
It irritates me when people keep calling a rapist a pedophile, since one tells you that the person did a crime and the other did not. I refuse to call a murderer “person with violent tendencies” since its the murder thats the issue, not why the person commited it

It was not hostile, you just don’t want to read it because you know you’re rightfully being called out for saying some fucked up shit.
As a victim of SA myself, my advice would be to just fucking stop trying to normalize it and move on, go get your head back on straight.
