This is my take on your accusation of "normalizing" it. Pedophilia needs the same kind of reform as illegal substances. People going through the mental disorder need to seek help but they can't because they are afraid of being called a sick pervert.

The current laws do make it hard for someone who has an attraction to kids to get help because imagine if anyone went up to you, they never looked at child porn, or touched a kid in a harmful way but they confided and said "I'm attracted to kids." you would be disgusted by it wouldn't you? On top of that, if one admits to their mental disorder they assume the worse, they would assume they look at child porn, assume they have porn on their computer and assume they have molested before. In the same way if someone has a heroin addiction, they would fear going to the police or any authority for help because they don't want to go to prison and have it on their record so rather than get help they let it eat away inside til they either die from an overdose or in the other instance molest a child.

Of course for everyone situation there are two sides to every coin. There are Pedophiles who can live perfectly normal lives never hurting children, subsiding their urges and desperately wanting to get the help they can't get because of the mark it would live on them for the rest of their lives. Then there are sick sociopaths who just love the idea of control. We can't treat people the way we're being treated in the sense of being lumped as a single group, when we are all individuals, some who want to fight the cause of pizzagate and others whom just want to cause chaos.

Yes, as disturbing as it is to think that out there, there are adults who wish to be intimate with children, you have to remember, not all pedophiles are child molestors, and honestly, not all child molestors are pedophiles, some people are just sick fucks that hurt just because they want to be in control. This is just a disclaimer that you can't demonize a whole group of people just because of what some do, you have to take a step back and remind yourself, addiction, depression, sexual attraction, they are all mental dysfunctions within the brain that cause you to desire certain things, that you can't help but want ti, to need it, to lust for it.

People who molest, and never attempted to try to get help, yes they should be punished but they should also be given the chance to rehabilitate because you can't always blame the person that grew up for turning into the person they turned into, you also have to look into their past. But you always have to remember, there are definitely people out there right now who know what they feel is wrong but they are afraid to get help, because they know the moment they admit it to someone, that person will never look at them the same way again.

This is quite a brilliant post. Pedophilia should not be normalized, but rather treated as a mental illness similar to depression, where there exists no more social taboo to make these people afraid to seek help for their affliction for fear of being labeled a monster. We need to help these people, not ostracize them from the general populace because they suffer from an affliction which is beyond their control.

I agree. But, I think what the MSM and liberal politicians are trying to do is expose the American public to it enough until they can label pedophiles as a protected class of people. If pedophiles become a protected class, laws and regulations can be changed or repealed based on the grounds that they are discriminatory. Which would be unacceptable.
