Here’s the nuance though- what do we mean when we say “pedophile”? Because well... that’s a big range. Are we specifically talking about people who were convicted for molesting children- or about those convicted of sex crimes involving minors? Because as much as I am disgusted by kiddie diddlers- there’s a problem...
You can get a sex offense wrap pretty easily- and without actually being a sicko. I worked with a guy years ago who is responsible for changing my stance from “electric couch for the sickos- trials are for humans..” to a more “let’s look at this closer...” he had been chatting in the early days of cyber space- met a “woman” and they began to get risqué. She tells him AFTER they’ve already become explicit her age was under 18. He tries to back pedal, he’s now out of the game- but at the time- that plus what I have to imagine was a shitty lawyer- and he became. Registered sex offender for a generic sexual conduct with a minor.
He became close with one of our receptionists and they actually ended up getting married- but she didn’t know at first about his past. She found out through the grapevine at work from someone who must have violated several HR rules- and he produced for her the transcripts to prove his story- so it wasn’t just a case where he made up some cover story. It was black and white- on legal record. I saw them because she asked me what to do since at that point she was already head over heels for him.
Wouldn’t you know it- here’s a decent hard working guy. Smart too- should have been my boss but his record made him a tax break hire- a registered sex offender because of a sting where he didn’t even know it. He was able to get it expunged years later- and I’ve kept loosely in touch through his (now) wife- but yeah. It’s maybe not even 1:100 cases but the fact there are decent people or misunderstandings or such that get people labeled as such- I can’t back up overly harsh treatment of those convicted of a general offense. If you’re a red handed child molester though.... fuck those guys. But we need to be SURE before we take away a person humanity or freedom for life over it.
@famousone- yeah. Those are the guys I’m worried about protecting. Fuck kiddie diddlers- but a guy like that probably doesn’t belong in the same pile as them.
Fun fact about actual offenders like that, most aren't even pedos, they get off on the power trip and would have done it to an adult had they the chance, it's just more likely a child would be in a position to be taken advantage of than an adult.
One thing you have to remember about pedos, taking out any moral or ethical ideas about the attraction, it's no different than being attracted to a traditionally unattractive quality in an adult, there isn't any compulsive push to do anything any more often than with a normal person.
Yeah... Except, as far as I know, animals don't engage in sexual acts with immature individuals. They usually just kill them because they see them as competition to passing their own genes along.
Hahaha, thanks @xvarnah.

The actual context is less ominous; I'd probably disagree with treating humans as animals, or I would probably have facts about how detrimental it is to citizens of communities who treat sex offenders like animals versus those who treat them (the LOW RISK majoirty) like humans. And it'd be true haha. If that point of view seems crazy, check out NARSOL to see what the sex offender registry can accomplish and what it can hurt.
Oh I figured I just thought it's a meme you might find interesting

I don't think people realize it's not always as simple as slap a tracker on them and you're done. I'd honestly guess that most child exploitation comes in the form of pornography anyway.
.
Though tbh even the low-risk majority is getting somewhat out of hand in the way they're going about trying to gain acceptance in a world where accepting that behaviour awards protections to people who can and WILL offend. And obviously that's not the intent of some of the people who genuinely don't want to hurt children but don't know where to go for help and discussion. But it does often end up being the result
