Pedophilia has become such a wildly hated idea that even someone considering leniency towards people that are merely attracted to them and didn’t commit crimes is treated the same as a pedophile in itself.

Say a forty year old likes loli's, would that be considered pedophilia?

It isn’t a crime if that’s what you mean.

Lolicon is illegal

No it isn’t. And besides, even if it was, you said “liking it.”

And let’s not even pretend that watching drawn videos is anywhere close to actually raping a real child. Because that truly does deserve death penalty.

Are you one of those people who defends it because it's "not real child porn"

That actually doesn’t prove it’s illegal. Idk if you knew that, but yeah.

I’m not telling you this because I think it should be allowed. I’m telling you this because you’re trying to equate people who watch something like that to people that genuinely commit rape crimes, and that’s very disingenuous of you.

Because “pedophile” can be defined any way you want based off what you’re saying

You're saying lolicon should be allowed, you're also saying that pedophilia can be defined in any way which is what you're showing with your definition

Learn to read idiot

By that logic, if I watch child porn and not rape a minor, it's not pedophilia

Wow you’re really good at missing the point.

What I'm seeing is that you think lolicon isn't pedophilia

By your own logic, a murderer and a guy who stole an apple are both criminals, therefore they should both receive the same punishment.

I didn’t say Lolicon isn’t pedophilia, you’re putting words in my mouth. I said it’s disingenuous to keep equating it with an entirely different action, which is a legitimate crime.

And then, people who think that pedophiles don’t deserve death penalty always have the societal pressure to reassure that they aren’t defending pedophilia even though it was obvious they weren’t.

depends on the extent of their actions tbh

if its an 18 year old having sex with a 17 year old then no

if its a 40 year old man kidnapping and molesting a 13 year old girl then yes

For me, if it's over two year age gap with a minor, then pedophilia

yeah an 18 year old and a 15 year is icky

as is a 17 and a 14
16 and 13
etc

But then you can have a 20 year old and a 40 year old and no one cares???

Obviously the age of consent should be 18.

Because when you don’t set one, people naturally go to the extremes and that genuinely hurts people. So keeping it at 18 is the right call.

Yes

because they're both consenting adults

Oh yea

Also why is that icky to you?

because the mental difference between a 14 year old and a 17 year old is immense

Not that much though

theres a significant difference

Explain

at 14 you've only been a teenager for a year

at 17 you can drive, likely have a job or are planning to get one, are planning your future, making financial decisions

Fair

Dude adolescence is one of the most rapid growth periods in your lifetime.

I don’t know about you, but I was a completely different person when I was 14 than when I was 17.

I’m 8 bro

Cool

wtf did you say

There both immature pieces of shit that need to grow up

If it’s like an 18 and a 17 it rlly doesn’t count

legally it absolutely does

Which is dumb

indeed

imo i feel like people who have a romantic to minors should just be rehabilitated
unless they're an actual sex offender, ion think they necessarily deserve the death penalty

i'm not saying i DEFEND pedophilia, but i feel like we as a society should help those that DO have that mindset to yknow
not have that mindset anymore

If u have sex with someone who wasn’t born on the exact same day as you in the exact same year then ur a pedo

And should be burned alive

We should only have sex with our twin siblings

Real

I don't think that's the case?

Yes it is

whatever you say

We should burn pedos alive

ok

If they act on it, it's pedophilia. If they fap to it, it's pedophilia. Lolicon is included in that

i know
i'm not saying it isn't
i'm just saying that if people just have a pedophilic MINDSET, and admit to it, we should rehabilitate them to not have a pedophilic mindset

If it fails, neutering
