It is in humanity's best interest to hold a special hatred for pedophilia.
So many times now this sect of The Big Three Paras have tried to either interject themselves into wider communities or homegrow an acceptance movement of their own, and it always stands to reason that the vast majority of people just don't want to be associated with individuals who have sexual or romantic thoughts about children.
It's human nature to view pedophiles as threats to children, contact stance be damned, mankind has continued on as long as it has because of our Protect The Young Instinct that's ingraned in almost all of us. It's why the term predator is almost exclusively used for child murderers and rapists.
You hear all the time about how it's actually debated over whether child rape is worse than being murdered, because at least for the corpse, the pain stops. And all throughout history people have prioritized Protecting the Young over Protecting the Potential Predators, because even the pure potential of someone's child being in the same room as a predator is just too much for most people to bear.
Children are more important than pedophiles in humanity's eyes, and that's why people always raise the alarms and break out their cans of Nonce-Begone whenever a good word about pedophiles is said either online or in real life.
I understand that paraphilias are uncontrolled disorders that those inflicted are born with. That is why I'm pro-recovery.
I understand that the methods at which the LGBT Movement gained a standing among their heterosexual peers may seem like a workable blueprint to create your own movement.
I even understand why the temptation to regard all publicity as good publicity may seem like a good enough reason to carve out a community of your own "Haters be damned."
Hell, I even understand why a select few would spitefully take pride in their own pedophilia because "everything The Rightβ’ hates MUST be Goodβ’ for Usβ’!"
But the fact of the matter is this:
No one wants to accept pedophiles.
The reworking of language to seperate predator from pedophile looks like a failed attempt to split hairs to most people.
The codenames upon codenames that pedophiles use to dodge the internet's many banhammers make you all look like members of a cult to most people.
The constant citing of This Academic Studyβ’ or That Peer-Reviewed Psychological Analysisβ’ on why "Pedophilia Isn't THAT Bad, Actually" only make it seem like whoever made those studies and papers must also be pedophiles.
Even the arguement that pedophiles should seek community from the proship and/or darkshippers goes up in flames when the overwhelming majority have "radqueer dni," "pro-c big three fuck off," and "this system contains a little so don't groom us plz" somewhere in their bios, carrds, descriptions, userboxes, and intro posts.
I know that the next line of thinking is going to be "Well, that's why we as a society should be more accepting! That's why we're fighting so hard for our basic human right to exist!"
And when that happens, please refer to the top of the post and read it all over again.
Because the matter of the fact, the cold hard truth that's been shunned away due to gatekeeping accusations in favor of doors-wide-open warmth and all-inclusive acceptance is simple:
It is in humanity's best interest to hold a special hatred for pedophilia.
