Should pedophilia be accepted if the pedophile restricts himself to p*rnography that doesn't involve actual child actors/models?
I don't think so. I'm fairly certain there are some genetic or biological tendencies for pedophilia since societies around the world started to shut it down in the early twentieth century. We might be able to whitewash history, but Evolution has already done it's thing, While I can empathize people who have those urges or can't control it, I'm not going to accept legitimizing social or commercial acceptance for it because childrens rights are paramount above theirs. We already have Epsteins and his clients roaming around the world and a debate with those types generally end up with them try to put their needs and urges above the safety of others and minors. So called "simulated" pedophilia is a red herring to dance around the sick illegal stuff that already exists. There's already a Barely Legal segment on the internet where it can trend to extremely creepy. The notion of Barely Pedo is dry heave inducing. P.S. most men generally go out of their way to not send creepy vibes around children both out of a sense to protect and to avoid social shunning. I admit there isn't a lot of proven treatment to safely shut down those urges for some, but I can't see where they can wholly be satisfied with a romantic notion of "just one" either. Its almost like a ghoulish form of vampirism where they move on to their next prey after 3 or 4 years, or whenever the victim becomes too old.
I admit I don’t really have a solid opinion. On the one hand if all they are doing is watching pron that doesn’t actually exploit children I think there is a good argument that whie I and many others might find it disgusting it’s not harming anyone. At the same time Invisible fan makes a pretty good argument why that still gout lead to harm.
Man pepper sprayed for taking pictures of own kids. This is the natural next stop. Next time it will be shot dead. @tinman
