I read the article. This is way worse than pedophilia. He repeatedly sexually assaulted a girl from age twelve to age sixteen when he was in his twenties.

Isn't that what pedophiles do? Any sex with someone so young is sexual assault.

I'd distinguish between passive consumers of CSAM and child rapists. Both are terrible, the latter is worse.

DIY vs. outsourcing. Your actions are still harming children.

DIY paedophilia is a hilarious phrase.

It conjures images of a world where professional paedophiles get sponsored endorsements, there are hobby stores for amateur paedophiles, and Tucker Carlson complains there's too much CSAM involving immigrants.

Pedophiles have many different paths. All of them are sexually attracted to children. Some run away to be hermits. Others molest or rape children. Others seek therapy. Some take medication to castrate themselves and eliminate all sexual urges entirely. Some write disgusting fiction. Some make disgusting art. Still others seek out CSAM. Some roleplay their desires with partners their own age.

This guy had all these options and chose the worst possible one.

uh no it's literally pedophilia which drove him to sexually assault a minor.

you state that this was 'way worse than pedopehlia'

I retort: it's literally pedophelia driving the actions.

you reply: there's all kinds of different pedos.

No one's arguing that, but, IT'S ALL PEDOPHELIA, so it can't be way worse than pedophelia.

also, you split many different degrees of this and it's a nuance that I don't think matters.

they're child predators and must be stopped, must never be in positions of authority.

The problem is your statement seems to be downplaying the actual crime which is rape of a child. The argument is that needs to be said very clearly. This guy raped a child. Let's not dilute that. It seems you're trying to dilute it. Make sure to acknowledge the specific crime and the specific victim.

I mean honestly it kind of feels like you're making and all lives matter kind of argument here.

edit: you're not the person I originally replied to, these comments are mostly pointed at their comments.

but I maintain: GET FUCKED.

If anything that's how /u/confusedbytheBasics comments read.

IMHO, these child didling fucks should be put to death for the good of society once verified.

to help your @njm1314 reading comprehension along: NO, it's not an "all lives matter" argument, it's a "ITS ALL PEDOPHEILIA AND THERE AREN'T SHADES OF GREY INVOLVED" argument.

You don't think there's a difference between a pedophile who commits rape and a pedophile who seeks help to prevent rape?

Such as described here.

And this analysis of Australia's Sexual Assault Reform Program (SARP) as mentioned in the above article.

You don’t think there’s a difference between a pedophile who commits rape and a pedophile who seeks help to prevent rape?

fucking gross. don't paint pedos as 'seeks to help prevent rape'

I'm not even going to argue this, it's disgusting and enabling.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Your deeply emotional desire to mulch people trying to fix themselves has been duly noted.

In the real world, we like it when people who would do crimes never do.

Funnily, CSA prevention experts actually find you enabling; you make their jobs harder. Why do you want abusers to hide from us, hm? Are you a CIA plant?
