42 (not OP)

[(Anonymous)]

Tangent: Pedophilia (IN ISOLATION FROM child molestation) isn't something we should condemn people for. No one can control their sexual attraction; all they can control is their behaviour in response to that attraction.

Imagine how awful it is for the pedophiles who recognize how despicable child molestation is. Yes, it happens, and often. They would rather die that touch a child, yet they are faced with an unwanted physiological attraction that horrifies them. Many of them spend years and large sums of money in clinical psychology practices trying to reduce/remove the urges through aversion therapy, etc.

The recent literature on the reason for these physiological misfires is actually pretty interesting, and will hopefully one day be able help many people, including pedophiles struggling with urges that sicken them, and most especially the potential victims of pedophiles who DO act on their attraction.


TL;DR:

Pedophiles who would never molest = completely deserving of our sympathy.
Pedophiles who are also child molesters & non-pedophile child molesters = appalling beyond words.

I'm more miffed at the fact that the OP is more horrified at the possibility of being a furry than the possibility of being a pedophile.

In other words, they'd rather deal with the stress of being attracted to children and the potential social ramifications than ... being attracted to anthromorphic creatures.

Uh, if I had to pick and choose, I'd rather be a furry?

Totally fair, and I agree entirely!

I got that that was the sentiment of the comment; let me apologize for using it as a platform to rant about a more general confounding of the two that often happens. It was partly inadvertant, too, my diatribes sometimes get away from me ;)

Cheers!

HAHAH That's fine. I actually agree with you, people who recognize that they cannot and WILL NOT act on their attraction deserve sympathy and help. It's those who actually do it (or CLAIM not to support child molesting and then put up sites rating little girls/boys and where to find them, thereby aiding child molestors) who are monsters.

On the other hand, finding anthromorphic creatures hot... Lots of stigma on the Internet and I'm sure you'll have to make a few new friends, but wow. You just can't compare the two.
