Comment on MULTIVERSE has defederated fedinsfw.app for hosting child pornography
Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 2 days agoYou know that there are people out there that can distinguish between a fantasy and reality? There are many people out there that have those fantasies that would never touch a 17 year old out of principle. This is a type of roleplay, and as long as there are only consenting adults in play, there is no harm done to anyone.
Denying that those impulses exist is one of the reasons that people who are real pedophiles cant get professional help without fear of persecution. Pushing them into illegality just for having those thoughts is not only not fair (because they don’t have a choice who they are attracted to), but also pushes them into the dark corners of society where they cant get help and the really illegal shit happens.

you know i might actually put effort into responding to you but “because they don’t have a choice who they are attracted to” shows how far gone you are. this entire comment is making me sick to my stomach. for the record, pedophilia is obviously a fucking choice and has nothing to do with attraction oh my gods. why does that even need saying

Did you choose who you are attracted to or did you discover it?
You seem to mix some things up. There are pedophiles who have sexual attraction to children but know better, and there are people who rape children because they like the power imbalance.
The first group has simply discovered their attraction (and mostly beat themselves up over it) and would benefit from therapy and support, which they don’t get because of people like you. They also can benefit from things like “fauxbait”, where they can live out their kink without hurting anyone because there are only consenting adults in play.
The second group are in the Epstein files. They do it because they get off on the thought that someone is helpless. They are not pedophiles, they are simply the worst kind of rapist.
Make sure to direct your disgust on the second group, not the first, because the first one doesn’t deserve it.

I agree that there’s a big difference between natural pedophiles (pedophilia as a sexuality) and Epstein pedophiles (pedophilia as a kink).
The research that I’ve read on the subject suggests that Epstein pedophiles are opportunistic - they offend when there is an opportunity to do so. That could be having a martini on Epstein’s island, or it could be browsing Reddit and seeing a post from r/jailbait. During that first encounter, if the person has enough excuses to be able to say it’s not that bad, it’s not illegal, it’s not actually harming anyone, then they are likely to seek out more “content” and re-offend in worse ways.
In other words, if we make cruelty free imitation child porn available to natural pedophiles, we’re going to create more Epstein pedophiles. We’re not actually helping by doing that. It’s counterproductive.
