This is just the way of the world right now. Pedo is this weird trigger word that causes people to go blind with rage and lose all sembelance of rational thought, and if you try to actually talk them down they just say you’re into kids yourself.
The issue of pedophilia is what I like to call a “thought stopper”. Instead of trying to address it in a way that, you know, actually addresses the issue, people just get “justice”/revenge boners. It’s in the same class as the West’s attitude toward China, Russia, etc, and it’s a pitfall that we who claim to be materialists must watch out for.
Yeah, people are too interested in being perceived as “correct” to the immediate room vs being correct in their assessment.
Child abuse/assault sexual or otherwise is vile and nobody here has sympathy for those who engage in it (I hope) but as ML if we can’t bench our feelings and look at something objectively can we really call ourselves scientific socialists?
The medical consensus seems to agree with Fennekin, heaven forbid r/196 can have a mature take for once.
