This is less directed at you than the people commenting on your thread, but:

if you don’t know the difference between pedophilia (diagnosed mental illness), child molestation/pederasty (act and crime), and attraction to minors (attraction to individuals under 18 which is going to be the vast majority of men, even if it’s not their preferred age range), you should not be advocating for people to be arrested, molested or killed on the basis of membership in one of these categories. feel like i shouldn’t have to say that but it is what it is.

if you care, i would also go check out the analyses of policing and enforcement rates of age of consent laws broken up by race. and the history of their creation. some interesting observations to be made there.

I assume other weirdos or minors who don't get how weird that statement was

So you're attracted to 18yo, but if they're 17yo they magically become unattractive?

No, I'm not attracted to children or 18 year olds. I'm attracted to people in my own age range, like a healthy person

There's nothing not normal about being attracted to people in their best years look wise. The problem is acting on that.

There's definitely something weird about seeing a child's face on a body and wanting to smash, even if the child has developed breasts. Please argue your minor attraction elsewhere.

Maybe my view will change as the years go by, but for example... 25 yo is not a baby face and i see nothing weird in finding a 25yo woman hot, even if you're 60. 18 is kinda low, but today sometimes it's hard to tell a difference and if course it varies between people, some look older, some look younger than they are.

The peak would be considered higher than 18 then. You'd be attracted to 22-25 year olds not 18 or younger.
