Yes, That is the part that struck me. I've even quoted one of the sentences in an earlier post. It's wordplay. A child gets abused by abuser, there being evidence that that the abuse was repeated (in many cases). How one comes up with the conclusion that said abuser is not a pedophile has no logic.
My fantasies involve consent. I'm not one to fantasize about people unless they want me to. Etc etc.
Fantasy is something that exists only in thought in one's mind. That's all. Your premise has been that thoughts can somehow violate another person's rights. I mean, you can be upset with me for pointing this out to you if you like, but that's what you said. There's no twisting of words required here. I could quote whole conversations back to you, but I won't be that guy that chops his post up into 57 quotes and responses.
But don't you already begin to have such thought before you ask? It doesn't appear out of nowhere. Unless we decide to call it "having thoughts about having thoughts" or "having thoughts about asking someone to consent to be subject of further thoughts to be had". But in that case, wouldn't the person in question need to consent to them anyway?
I would not say they are evil either if they actively try to suppress it and seek help. On the same side of it I would be cautious around them and ensure they cannot work with children too much risk there obviously. Scat is also disgusting to me. I do enjoy doing a good poo though on the toilet but thats mainly so I can play angry birds.
But think about all the new kinds of thought prostitution that will appear out of it. If you legalize it, it would be awesome for the economy. Start at 5$ for "I consent to thinking about me without a bra" and go on from there.
And guilt, apparently.
In theory there's no reason for someone to have their sexuality be a public thing. However, it does happen that people are outed or what not for whatever reason. In which case, someone who is a pedophile is automatically ostracized , same with how gays used to be. The fact that people can be gay and be proud of it...well, pedos can't, and probably won't ever be proud of it (not t hat sexuality is something to be proud of).
But the thing is..they shouldn't be considered as monsters for something that they literally have no control of, and the posts in this thread show that it's incredibly dangerous as well, something that shouldn't be.
