Are there good pedophiles? Is Chapo one?
Ps quintasia and Jim are not
You can't help how you're born it's totally out of your control. Dogs don't choose to be born dogs there born dogs literally with no other choice.
Same thing with pedophiles. Not every pedophile is psychopathic and harmful. Some of them experience guilt anxiety and are suicidal over there pedophilic tendencies and fantasies. I don't think someone should be shunned for being attracted to children.
You should shun people attracted to children. Even if they don't act physically upon those urges they often offend in viewing images of children that have been abused.
By shunning them out of social groups, won't they become more likely to try to groom people just to not feel so alone? It seems like it'd potentially exacerbate the problem to mill away at their peer groups as a way to force them to be by themselves otherwise, while being surrounded by people who aren't into that could push peer modeling by contrast.
Also what if they don't look up such images or act out on it? Is it a lose-lose situation where you'd presume they will act on it in the future or view such things leisurely down the line, or could it perhaps become a struggle for them where they're otherwise trying to cope around it? While it's a horrible trait to have, it's also them having a tweaked sense of attraction that's less of a choice than how they act on those compulsions.
I'm sitting here comparing this to other forms of self-containment, like alcoholism or anger management. Bottling, isolation, denial, reactivity, there's a lot here that could end up having them fall into their label or habits instead of trying to get better if it appears that there's nowhere else to go or no reason to otherwise try to get better.
While I'm also not saying it's anyone's responsibility to hang around them individually, focusing on shutting them out from at least talking to other people seems like it'd stand to make a bad thing worse. It's how I'm on a mixed view over those pedo awareness programs for the neighborhood; On one hand people with kids need that fucking warning but on the other they're a Deviant Pariah who's bound to think worse things if it can latch onto other aspects of their own suffering.
It also seems like to me that, if all pedos end up shunned, that they'll just form their own groups and might end up accomplishing worse things through the teamwork.
Only if they act on there tendency then they should be. Same thing with rape, some men definitely have a tendency to rape. But they don't rape women at all. You shouldn't be thought police, people have the right to think what they like. But once it spills over into the real world, then that is when punishment should be handed down. I can see a number of moral issues and social issues with shaming, shunning and punishing somebody just for being sexually attracted to children.
Also I don't think children would need to be guarded from a pedophile unless that pedophile is psychopathic. Since 99% of pedophilic offenders are psychopathic scum. Most pedophiles don't act on there tendencies unless there bad.
Most pedophiles will at some point convince themselves that they can get away with it or that the child shares the same feelings.
I suspect that most pedophiles don't submit that data to a clinician, that the ones on paper are largely the 'Squeaky Wheel' cases who otherwise felt the need to mention it if not those who've been incarcerated for it.
I don't have the numbers, but I do question if statistics really does whenever it's over something shameful to admit. Those who date people with abnormally low emotional maturity for their age for example could be someone coping for latent hebophilia or some shit.
If you are attracted to children you should not be around or work around children.
Yeah... I'd generally advise the same to someone who wants to fuck dogs or cats working at the pound. If they have a problem in this area then working around it's just going to invite the thoughts more, and it's not like there isn't other work.
Chemical castration is an option and should be taken.
Once they've acted on the crime how they're dealt with I have less sympathy for, but again I question the lives of those who've never acted on it. If 'Prevention is the Best Cure', what would be proper prevention rather than cleanup after the fact?
