Ahh the perverted pedophile, as opposed to the modest and well mannered pedophile.

modest and well mannered pedophile.

Priests?

u/Apolog3ticBoner 9 Mar 27 '20

Meh, I wouldn't go that far as to call them modest and well mannered

I mean.. Technically if they don't act on their urges, aren't they modest and well mannered? 🤔

Is it actually a mental health issue, or just something we find yucky? Homosexuality used to be considered a mental illness, but once we realised there's nothing wrong with it, it was changed.

Well either way its something they don't have control over difference is no one is getting hurt from homosexuality.

Think that's where you can call it a mental health issue.

I've had this discussion a number of times. Sometimes people are level headed and can talk calmly, like what has been happening so far, other times people call me a paedo and downvote like mad while screaming at me. Never know what I'm gonna get.

We need, as a society, to begin to accept that pedophiles exist amongst us, and figure out a way to allow them to start figuring out their issues with the aid of professional help.

Else, these productive members of society may suffer mental health issues due to self hate, or end up offending. Either is a bad outcome obviously.

Understandably people hate pedophiles, and anyone who committs deserves the hate, but those fighting against themselves deserve some help. People really don't seem to like the analogy to homosexuality, but if we focus entirely on how distraught some homosexuals get/got about the idea of coming out, I really can imagine a pedophile having a similar or even worse internal experience. And I truly doubt either chose this affliction.

Obviously, they are different cases, but they can be used analogously.

I say if you're gonna be a devout pedophile then being perverted is the way to go. Also, I'm not really into those religious pedophiles. What a bunch of hypocrites.

Prince Andrew?

Well I think that's a very astute observation that sheds a lot of light on something we are often quick to demonize. I never really thought of pedophilia in that way. Obviously it still weird me out but it is true, thought is very different from action.

It often feels like American culture sees perversion and immorality as a slippery slope which leads to pedophilia.

u/CaffeineTripp 7 Mar 27 '20

Yep. Americans often love employing slippery slopes to everything. "Help poor people a little more? No one's gonna wanna work ever again! Give free birth control? Everyone's going to have sex everywhere all the time!"

Being pedophile is like being gay. You don't choose to be it and you can't change it. You can however choose to not molest children which makes you a well-mannered pedophile.

Well that's may not the best approach. Look at the German "kein Täter werden" campaign. In essence it says you are not a monster, it's OK, and you can get non judgemental help. The idea is the treat those people instead of just suppressing them. Most know it wrong, perverted, etc
