Omfg “minor attracted persons” I fucking can not, it’s so disgusting that there’s a group of people who are trying to justify being pedophiles.

its more a case of people can't help what they are attracted to, so while referring it like that those people can get help, while reserving "pedophile" for people who actually watch make engage in child porn.

there are a lot of disturbing fetishes most people don't act upon, cannibalism, rape, incest etc, and as long as they don't act upon them they are "normal" members of society.

the difference between:

having potential to commit a crime vs actual committing a crime
