Hard agree. Though I do have a question I imagine these are people with desires(wrong or bad), but a human drive none the less. Acting on that is wrong I fully agree. However if we keep calling them crepes and idiots and other names like this. People who have these desires and realize they are problematic, where can they go? We are literally pushing them away without giving them an option to redeem.
The reason i put this here is because creating this stigma will make more people more desperate, making in turn more kiddie stuff.
For anyone reading this, go to a counselor, a trusted gp, a psychiatrist who doesn't judge. Do not act on these desires, but find help to talk about them.
Yup. Fundamentally, being attracted to children isn't any different from a foot fetish. They can't change how their brain is wired, and they're not monsters for feeling that way. They should absolutely be able to seek help without concern.
And, while I believe the AI gen stuff is disgusting, if it prevents a real child from being abused... Idk, it's a super nuanced issue.
Now, that all changes if they start trying to act on those feelings.
