For awhile it was single downvotes, but it seems that moved up to 2-3 on each comment. Even the most benign stuff gets hit, the pattern is clear.
Can I find this person and block them from seeing my posts? Never really delved into how lemmy works.
Probably doesn’t matter much because after awhile the forget and leave me alone for a bit.
Is it because of that time you were defending pedophilia and regurgitating MAP talking points?
EDIT: or maybe it’s the constant repulsive content that has resulted in pages, and pages, and pages of mod actions for years? For things such as: racism, transphobia, actual antisemitism, advocating violence, racism again, and look…
pedophile apologia again…
Man… I wonder why people would downvote you… it’s a a real headscratcher.

There were a few pedo defenders in that thread (see the other user that got fully banned for doubling down over and over again). I tagged the profiles making excuses for pedos which is why I knew who OP was (roughly).
Just kinda feel like people who try to equate pedophiles as part of the queer community are probably shitty people. And probably have shitty takes… and looks like they have a lot of shitty takes. So much that theyre whining about getting downvoted.
I mean, Jesus, just look at their modlog… banned for pedo apologia, actual antisemitism, civility, etc etc etc. Pages of mod actions…
I’ll ask you the same, do you believe people choose their attractions? Be very careful in your answer. If you say yes, then LGBT is a choice.

And you are questioning multiple downvotes while making comments like this. Maybe its because you have shit takes
I think the point is that she was a child rapist, not necessarily a pedophile.
Some child rapists rape children because of the power imbalance etc., not necessarily out of physical, sexual, or romantic attraction.
hmmm, I didn’t know that. I figured it was always sexual attraction brought on by pedophilia… cheers
Pretty crazy take to voice in a thread about a child-raping teacher…no? Whether a person is sexually attracted to children or not, they should not rape them, and especially not if they are in a profession with in loco parentis legal responsibility?

Nothing about that comments comes across as defending it. Also, pedophilia is not synonymous with sexual abuse.
I’m not seeing that, pedophilia is a condition and the user was responding in earnest to a comment asking “why?”. I personally would not conflate this with defending child molesters
So, your argument is that
? That pathetically superficial take pretty much amounts to media illiteracy[1]: see fallacy Confusing an Explanation with an Excuse.
Can anyone factually explain atrocities in your presence without you treating any explanation as a defense even when it’s explicitly stated that the explained subject is immoral?
They answered the question & your not liking the answer doesn’t make it less true. There are better ways to deal with facts than insufferable irrationality.
are you lost?
are you illiterate?
I have no clue what MAP is, but can you point to the words that hurt you?
Or do you believe attraction is a choice? You believe people have a choice to be gay or trans? You can’t have it both ways. Pick. One.
MAP mean Minor Attracted Person
We have a word for that, it’s pedophile. That acronym shit is literally pro pedophile propaganda attempting to normalize it as acceptable.
Absolutely agreed
From a policy and human rights point of view, it’s irrelevant whether it’s a choice or predetermined.
Anecdotally, I have friends whose sexuality sure looks like it was arrived at by a process that included an element of choice. And if that’s the case, it’s still just as legitimate an identity as if it were inborn.
This might cause discomfort because it could send fascists the message that they could bully queer people into being straight. But they’re going to bully queer people regardless of whether it’s a choice.
