@lolitasyndrome the fact that you would publicly state this is stunning to me. I feel sorry for you in a way, but I hope a community of this identity group never forms here.
Echo chambers and communities provide validation and support for certain ways to live. It allows political capital to accrue, leading to legal changes. This has happened consistently with the LGBTQ community, who has seen a massive rise in social acceptance.
LGBTQ affects people who can consent. Minors cannot consent due to their underdeveloped prefrontal cortex and compliance to authority figures. Because of this, MAPs should not be supported.
It is not a good thing to be a MAP. Please seek therapy if you haven't already, and for god's sake never act out on your impulses.
@nil @lolitasyndrome what an erudite and well explained argument. You've swayed me.
@nil I feel for pedos who try to change their ways. They can't help whatever mental development led to their attraction to children, but if they shirk their desires and try to change their tendencies then they're tolerable and inevitable in society.
To be an unabashed, proud pedo is like being a proud rapist or murderer. You damage society and hurt those around you, and experience pride in it? Absolutely pathetic.
Being a pedophile means having a sexual attraction, just as an homosexual man has a sexual attraction to another men. No rational or civilized country nowadays would equate sexual attractions to crimes.
The act of raping a child, of forcefully having sex with them and damaging their physical and sexual integrity should be punished with the weight of the law. Not the thoughts that reminds inside of a person's head who simply find little girls or boys attractive, if that's what makes them happy and go on with their lives.
@nil but seriously, if you actually have a good argument for why I'm wrong, I would appreciate you relaying that. I'm interested in your thoughts.
