      child rapists or pedophiles? One is a crime another is a psychiatric disorder.

      Less than half of child rapists are pedophiles.

        No im pretty sure all child rapists are pedophiles. I do not think the 2 ideas should be separated. You make it sound like you are cool with people being pedophiles as long as they’re not a child rapist. Fucking weird.

          Most child rapists are not pathologically attracted to children. It happens because of power imbalances or other factors.

          You can think what you’d like but pedophelia has official DSM-5 Diagnostic criteria and there’s an entire academic body of literature behind this.

            No, i just dont care about anything you’re talking about. All it comes off to me as you are trying to say being a pedophile is not that bad.

            Claim whatever by whomever. Nothing now can change the fact that you are pro pedophile and thats just weird.

              So correcting your terminology because you are using the word pedophile to have a different meaning than what it is dictionnary defined makes me “pro-pedophile” lol.

              By your definition Marriam-Webster, Wikipedia, and pretty much every psychomedical academic journal is “pro-pedophile” then.

              Fuck anyone who harms children. But being attracted to children is not a choice, science has proven that. And acting like these people are all evil (even if they’ve never acted on their urges) makes then less likely to seek help because of shame, and increases the rate of children who are hurt.

              It’d do a lot of help if you atleast skimmed the wikipedia page on the topic.
