A few years ago I would have argued that something like pedophilia would have been something we could (mostly) all agree was bad, but republicans had to show me I was wrong.
I see what you’re saying but you’re not saying it well. You’re distinguishing the difference between pedophilia the condition and pedophilia the act. That having the condition of being a pediphile is beyond a person’s control, but that actions a person does from that condition is. A good example would be someone with rage issues. Being rageful just is while acting on that rage is wrong.
I get it, but you need to be more clear when discussing something so sensitive.
Pedophilia really isn’t bad, just as being gay or being hetero isn’t bad.
Wow, it’s been YEARS since I’ve seen someone casually compare pedophilia to homosexuality.
I sorta get where you’re coming from, but gay/straight people aren’t by definition raping the people they’re attracted to. But outside of the concept of pedophilia on paper (someone’s brain wired wrong), pedophilia is bad, full stop.
I feel bad for those afflicted with it, and have sympathy for those who are able to not give in, but the disorder itself is bad. Just as sociopathy and psychopathy are bad, so is pedophilia.
At least we agree that raping kids is bad. Too bad we can’t get republicans to agree as well.
Wow, it’s been YEARS since I’ve seen someone casually compare pedophilia to homosexuality.
Calm down, you’re being a manipulative dick by bringing that up, because the person you’re citing never used that comparison to hurt homosexuals.
It’s clear that what they’re getting at is not that gay people ale pedos, but rather - people are born with random traits and no one ever chose to be attracted to males, females, or kids in this case.

L. O. L.
So your argument basically boils down to their intentions mattering more than the actual words they say. I guess people who make offhand homophobic, transphobic or racist comments aren’t bad people if they don’t mean for their words to hurt people, right? After all, that wasn’t their ✨intention✨.
And you have the gall to say I’m being manipulative…

Right, which is why I said I have sympathy for those afflicted. But the disorder itself is bad, as I said.
But I guess you needed to but in and reword what I said so you could call me a dick. Oh well, I won’t be interacting with your idiocy again.

Why give so much effort replying only to cut it off with this finishing line? I could explain to you why I still think it’s just a dick move to bring up that 10’s homosexuals and pedophiles correlation antithesis in this completely unrelated context, but you’re clearly only interested in your perspective.
Me? Nothing. What’s YOUR point though, that’s my question. YOU are getting mad that someone has put two words - homosexual and pedophile - in one sentence. Ignoring completely how they play together in that sentence.
But hold on…
Pedophilia really isn’t bad, just as being gay or being hetero isn’t bad
Holy fuck you’re right, that’s putting homosexual people in such a bad light, claiming it’s alright to be gay.
I’m a believer that regardless of topic people sit on a bell curve where most people don’t really care

Pedophilia really isn’t bad, just as being gay or being hetero isn’t bad. You can’t control who you’re attracted to.
What is bad is raping children.

Pedophilia is bad. Bestiality is bad. Necrophilia is bad.
Stop making excuses for the most vile amongst us.

You know what’s a ‘manipulative dick’? The person that says a comparison is not a comparison, and insults others while they do so.
Also, you don’t know what their motive is. Could be to hurt, could be to help, could be something in between. Assumptions are weak. Be better.
Where exactly did I say that?

“Pedophilia really isn’t bad, just as being gay or being hetero isn’t bad.”
The above sentence is not a comparison?
Bringing them up together at all is problematic. What’re you trying to prove here?

I’m out this is stupid. And yeah I’m definitely the mad one lol.
… and Democrats! It’s not as if Biden opened the Epstein files.
Epstein list is FULL of Democrats. He worked at Harvard… 99% Democrats… and so on. The list is full of Rs, too… but why are you only remembering them?
Is there a reason you give all of those Ds a “pass” and pretend that they don’t exist? Curious.
Personally, I think it’s disgusting. Shame on you.
