Holy shit I had a conversation the other day with a dude who said, “democrats just want to touch children and change their genitalia”
He went off about how democrats want to change pedophile name and be more accepting. I told him people don’t say that. Only pedophiles do. He went off about how democrats are pedophiles.
He went off about how schools, doctors, and liberal agenda is allowing the mutilation of children’s genitalia.
Taking something he says is fact and blowing into the massive majority of all Democrat fundamentals.
I think that’s a good cause, but isn’t the definition of a pedophile meaning one who likes young aged people? Minor attracted person is the same thing with extra steps. Same stigma, same thoughts, same people.
Get the help but unfortunately it may be one of the things that shouldn’t be vocalized in a normal setting as most people are too narrow minded to help.
Removing stigma helps us talk about the issue. That’s why MAP phrasing is promoted by those more concerned with child protection than virtue signalling.
Some times it’s difficult to tell if a person like that is serious or just seriously trolling you. However, I have met people who say some of the wildest things about wikipedia, vaccines, police, governments etc. and they seemed very serious to me.
it’s literally doublethink (literally 1984!!!) as it’s both. They seriously adopt a facetious position to troll and believe it wholeheartedly should be policy and law.
Yes, it doesn’t make any sense. That’s deliberate too.

ask him what he thinks of circumcion without consent at young age and I bet he will defend that without hesitation
Tell him there are more convicted Christian & Republican paedophiles than Democrats.
He’d challenge it and probably call it propoganda.
Sounds like you met one of my coworkers.
BTW, the justification for using different names for pedophiles - like minor attracted person - isn’t to normalize child abuse.
Rather its to get people to seek and accepted help.
The real goal for us should be protecting kids. Not punishing people with dirty thoughts.

These kinds of conversations are why I quit my last job. I couldn’t take it anymore.
I’d get whole tirades like that and just be like…
“Ok…uh…sure…so…welcome to the library, did you want to print something or…?”

He’s been a friend for a while. It’s his actual thoughts. He’s stuck in the feedback loop.
