Lots of people have non-con fetishes. Doesn’t make them rapists. Hell, who hasn’t thought about murdering someone, or robbing a bank?
Good fucking thing we don’t punish thought crimes.
Pedophelia is a paraphelia that requires treatment to manage/mitigate/overcome. Many people with pedophelia were young rape victims, themselves.
If we can all agree:
People don’t choose to have pedophelia, and,
We would like to have less people with pedophelia,
Then we can also agree there should be easy to access treatments for pedophelia.
People trying to destigmatize the paraphelia and promote access to treatment are doing a lot more to make the world better than the ones calling every pedophile a rapist, even if they never act on it.
I never claimed all people with mental illness are criminals or rapists and you know I did not.
I never claimed that pedophilia isn’t a legimate mental illness.
I never disagreed that it requires professional treatment and monitoring, and in fact advocated for that treatment multiple times as that user continued to double down on pedophilia being fine as long as its not acted on.
Pedophilia is not a fetish, nor is it in any way similar to a fetish, and you are well aware of that. Trying to relate it to one is concerning and you might want to reconsider using that as a debate point
Clearly you believe I have wrongthink and don’t understand SA. I guess I just didn’t internalize my own experienced abuse correctly enough for you. I’ll make sure I more carefully consider the position of abusers and their advocates in the future before I call them out so I don’t upset them, it really is inappropriate of me to be disgusted by sexual abuse and the normalization of it, you’re right.
