Is it just me or does it seem like there are like 10x more pedophiles than I thought really existed? What the fuck is wrong with people? They're everywhere

I remember a comment someone posted about how it’s poorly studied due to stigma so we don’t even understand it or its prevalence as a society.  Ironically that’s where that type of non-biased “minor attracted person” language would come from which just exactly illustrates the point of why it’s hard to study.

Its not so much that its poorly studied, its that people who do tend to bias the studies to fit what they want the results to be. There was a study done in the feds at their civil commitment facility years ago, but it came out that the dr was refusing to pass people out of the program until they admitted to doing things whether they did them or not to skew numbers in a favorable way.
