Fennekin sort of just assumed in their text that people would call them a pedophile enabler for taking the frankly rather acceptable stance they did.
I made thus comment before I read all the other comments, and you’re right, and I now can see that I might have been better off not putting snark in such a serious topic. I guess I’m just used to reading this discussion on Reddit, where yeah, everyone’s like “if someone even looks at a child for longer than they need to they should be drawn and quartered” and god forbid you actually point out problems with this (yet ironically, Reddit seems to have no problem with l*licon and other fictional CP, why?!) Actually pleasently surprised that here it’s not the case and most people agree that non-offending pedophiles should be treated instead.
I apologize if my comment seemed snarky or accusative or anything. I think most of the convo here has been useful and balanced, and I think it usually is. Even when a comrade presents an extreme overexaggeration of their beliefs, it’s often made in a fit of anger or annoyance, and when actually talked to I think that the realities of their views tend to look a lot like mine/ours, or they’re just not educated enough on the topic and are receptive to discussion. Usually.
Just not like reddit at all, at least in my experience, excepting trolls. On reddit, any time I made a post I felt prickly, the armor has to go up beforehand because I know no matter what I say the comments will be flooded with bad faith actors. Usually doesn’t feel that way here and I appreciate that.
