Are we forgetting about some of the real hitters?
It’s amazing that diapers thing is not a joke.
Good god, the last photo is so unsettling it's making the parrots puke.
If it makes you feel better, the parrots are actually mating. It's not weird.
Oh my. They’re sticking up for his use of diapers.
Real men are old and incontinent.
Does a high percentage of people (mostly old men) sexualize children? There has been a lot of allegations of pedophilia in weathy people and organisations, which can afford it, but would lots of regular people indulge in it if was legal? How are people fine with themselves sexualising children and why don't they just "tuck it in"?
I don't have any data but given most mainstream porn websites have a "teen" section, I'm going to guess a lot of people sexualize teenagers. Most of them are likely not teenagers themselves.
Human sexuality is complicated. But that doesn't excuse knowingly harming other people.
It is strange that the right wing seems to oppose teaching about consent.
There's probably two separate threads - attraction to physical youth, and attraction to power deltas. I think the latter is more dangerous, and probably more of what you find in shitty rich people. But I'm just guessing, I don't have any data.
No kid wants to fuck an old man, and I don't see how you could legalize brothels or prostitution for minors.
It's about power a lot of the time. Wealth gets you anything you want, so anyone with enough money who wants to abuse kids, can. I'd imagine some extremely wealthy idiots are tricked into it for blackmail on rare occasions.
Organizations, like the church, attract pedophiles because it's a trusted position of power that puts them alone with vulnerable kids.
No, I don't think indulging in child abuse is something a regular person does, even if they have urges to. You're not a regular person if you're abusing kids.
