    I think pedophiles should be treated with compassion, as being a pedophile doesn’t make someone a sexual predator.

    IMO the stigma against pedophiles worsens their mental state and could push them to become sexual predators. This is just a guess though.

    However, I do think “treatment” of pedophilia with generated CP should only be tried after conducting proper research into the actual effectiveness of it (maybe with general sex offenders and regular porn). In the end I think the top priority should be to minimize the amount of pedophiles who are also predators.

      The stigma against racism and sexism I guess a are also making people want to hurt these groups?

        I believe racism and sexism are choices, while I think most pedophiles would prefer not to be pedophiles. If a pedophile doesn’t hurt anyone, why should people want to hurt him?

        Having a hard time finding the evidence you mention, got a citation? First few articles I saw were actually advising against blanket pornography bans.

            I didn’t suggest shit, so please don’t put words in my mouth. Thanks for the citations though.

                Maybe I could’ve written it more clearly, but I thought it was pretty obvious we shouldn’t try treating pedophiles this way if research shows it doesn’t work.
