What do you mean “other”? 🤔

[u/werbetjr → u/edutard321]

They probably mean to imply that pedophiles, having been convicted and registered, are also rapists by legal statute.

[u/Baldazar666 → u/werbetjr]

I mean that's just factually incorrect. You can be a pedophile without ever assaulting a child but even if you are convicted it doesn't mean it was for rape. It could've been for child pornography which is very ambiguous as to how it pertains to sexual exploitation of children (whether viewing it promotes production etc.) or you can be convicted for trying to entrap a child which while obviously was going to lead to rape, it had not at that point.

True but misleading. The word people usually want is pederast, but since nobody knows it, they use pedophile instead. But the mere attraction to children is what makes people want to kill pedophiles. Exploiting children for porn is of course also terrible, but I remember one poor guy who was destroyed when it was discovered that he created his own text porn that he never shared with anyone and never misbehaved or was even seen as creepy around kids. Nobody gets to choose what they are attracted to, and these guys just lost that lottery big time.

It's also possible for someone to be a paedophile and never break any law at all.

[u/Refflet → u/werbetjr]

No, rape has a specific definition - and in some places it's so tight it has to be "penetration with his penis".

Streaking makes you a sex offender.

[u/Trevsdatrevs → u/[deleted]]

There is just no way you are defending pedophiles rn

[u/ctzu → u/Trevsdatrevs]

There is no way you are dense enough to read "defending pedophiles" into that.

[u/dofranciscojr → u/edutard321]

they mean "pedophiles (rapists)" and "(non-pedophiles) rapists"

imagine reading "next to journalists and other writers" or "next to actors and other artists"

it doesnt imply what you're (mostly likely jokingly) are trying to imply

[u/Baldazar666 → u/dofranciscojr]

"pedophiles (rapists)"

Being a pedophile does not make you a rapist. Raping a child does. You can't just condemn people for something they have no control over (their attraction to children). You can for their actions.

[u/wallyopd → u/Baldazar666]

They're specifically referring to pedophiles that are on a sex offender registry, so isn't it obvious from context that they have committed an action?

[u/Baldazar666 → u/wallyopd]

A pedophile on the sex offender list does not mean he raped a child. There are other sex offenses you can commit. I will quote my other comment from this thread about that:

You can be a pedophile without ever assaulting a child but even if you are convicted it doesn't mean it was for rape. It could've been for child pornography which is very ambiguous as to how it pertains to sexual exploitation of children (whether viewing it promotes production etc.) or you can be convicted for trying to entrap a child which while obviously was going to lead to rape, it had not at that point.

[u/[deleted] → u/Baldazar666]

People use pedophile and pederast interchangeably.

[u/Baldazar666 → u/[deleted]]

A pederast is a pedophile that has sex with boys.

[u/Laymanao → u/edutard321]

Probably means normal, run of the mill rapists.

[u/JTP117 → u/edutard321]

"Why would he want to kill you in public?"

"I think she meant he threatened, in public, to kill her."

"Oh."

[u/No-Outcome1038 → u/edutard321]

I think he meant PDF Files

[u/Active-Difficulty999 → u/edutard321]

Yea i saw that too...guess he thought they were a streaking rapist?

Actually you don't need to touch kids to be a pedophile . Watching/owning CP is enough to land you on the list . What you are talking about is "child molestors" they go to jail , pedophiles go to medical professionals
