TomAwezomeGiven that Drew Devault has pity for pedophiles, the correct choice is to discount anything he says, much like you should discount anything Trump or Epstein claims without further primary sources of evidence from unaffiliated parties
SpectrismThis is not at all comparable to Trump/Epstein. Drew was only pitying pedophiles, not actual rapists (this may come as a surprise to you, but there is a very clear difference).
Nobody should pity pedophiles, you should want them removed from society permanently. If that’s controversial, so be it
You’d agree of course, that pedophiles should be removed from society? Is the idea of shaming pedophiles and pedo apologists some kind of line in the sand that shouldn’t be crossed in your eyes?
You’d agree of course, that pedophiles should be removed from society?
No, I would most definitely not. In the same way that I would not agree that we should remove all men from society just because they make up the majority of rapists.
Is the idea of shaming pedophiles and pedo apologists some kind of line in the sand that shouldn’t be crossed in your eyes?
Yes.
Right, all rapists should be removed from society, regardless of gender
The thing You don’t seem to understand is that rapists committed rape and need to be punished. Pedophilia is a disorder that if it’s manifesting in a person may never have any impact on another person. Why? Because there are different ways it can affect somebody with the disorder. For some it might be a emotional thing, completely isolated from the world. For some it might just be a though of realizing that they are attracted to a person that is too young.
ACTING on these impulses is the problem. And that becomes way more likely when people don’t realize their pedophilic tendencies because they surpress any reflected thoughts since it’s a taboo to even consider that this disorder exists. And seeking help is even harder for the same reasons. So yes, Public shaming of EVERYONE that has this disorder is definitely not a smart move. Shaming and punishing people that act on it: yes please.
Yeah? For example, I don’t pity people with extremely violent urges, I want them far away from peaceful civilized society. Pedos just the same, no pity, just the desire for them to be very far away from everyone else.
Innocent until proven guilty also apply to though crime.
You might want to separate people that are a potential hazard but that sets a dangerous precedent.
Also: somebody that might be easily angered and might hit somebody in a bar when drunk should be locked away preemptively?
