Natural attraction can be dealt with in therapy
wouldn’t that be conversion therapy?

Lmaydev@programming.dev 8 months agoSome people are born with an attraction to children that they can’t help.
Some people are monsters who enjoy the power.
They are two very different things.
Natural attraction can be dealt with in therapy but most people won’t come forward about it. As if it gets out their life would be over.
I can imagine it really sucks for people born that way being lumped together with the actual pieces of shit.

Not really. It’s about learning to manage it.

Yeah sorry we’re not doing the “map” thing. Predators are predators.

This is exactly my point. Thanks for illustrating it so clearly.

It’s wild to me that there’s a possibility that we could reduce the number of victims with early intervention but won’t even begin to talk about the idea because bringing it up gets people labeled as predators. “Oh you think some people are born that way and don’t want to hurt anyone and you think they should be helped so that they don’t hurt anyone? You sound like a predator because you’re defending predators.”

We’re a long way off from being able to have that conversation. Too many people would try to take advantage of the sympathy to get away with some disgusting acts.
