    Pedophilia really isn’t bad, just as being gay or being hetero isn’t bad.

    Wow, it’s been YEARS since I’ve seen someone casually compare pedophilia to homosexuality.

    I sorta get where you’re coming from, but gay/straight people aren’t by definition raping the people they’re attracted to. But outside of the concept of pedophilia on paper (someone’s brain wired wrong), pedophilia is bad, full stop.

    I feel bad for those afflicted with it, and have sympathy for those who are able to not give in, but the disorder itself is bad. Just as sociopathy and psychopathy are bad, so is pedophilia.

    At least we agree that raping kids is bad. Too bad we can’t get republicans to agree as well.

      Calm down, you’re being a manipulative dick by bringing that up, because the person you’re citing never used that comparison to hurt homosexuals.

      It’s clear that what they’re getting at is not that gay people ale pedos, but rather - people are born with random traits and no one ever chose to be attracted to males, females, or kids in this case.

        “Pedophilia really isn’t bad, just as being gay or being hetero isn’t bad.”

        The above sentence is not a comparison?

        Bringing them up together at all is problematic. What’re you trying to prove here?
