Can you explain the whole "ISFF pedophile rhetoric" thing? There's so many people being so long-winded I can't get a handle on what's actually going on.
So, when people discuss pedophilia, the immediate logical trap you can fall into is that it technically has two meanings.
Pedophilia's technical definition is a mental disorder that causes a person to experience sexual attraction toward pre-pubescent children. There's also two other classifications (hebephilia and ephebophilia) for different age groups.
But... what most people mean when they say "pedophilia" is "the act of engaging in sexual contact with a minor." So "pedophile" is used the same way someone would say "burglar" or "mugger."
This is something of a problem because the vast majority of CSA is done by people who want to exert control, not acting out of sexual attraction. It's not about sex, it's about power.
If you're a child, statistically speaking the person most likely to sexually assault you is your mother or father. And the most likely reason they will do it is to exert control. This can come from a variety of places, but the main thing that empowers them is that parents have full autonomy over their children, which results in reporting abuse being extremely difficult because their word is taken over yours.
CSA is a systemic problem. You can't fix it with the system, because the system created it. What ends up happening is the mentally ill are made into a scapegoat to avoid dealing with those systemic problems. Like mass shootings being blamed on mental illness to sidestep gun legislation.
And not for nothing, the harassment campaigns against trans women on this particular hellsite seemingly ramped up when the Epstein Files were being dropped and we were learning exactly how many of these ghouls' favorite politicians were child molesters.
What ISFF was talking about is how the mass public hysteria of "the pedophile" as a social boogeyman turns them into a cudgel to be wielded against undesirables. Accusing someone of pedophilia will bring a hysterical mob of idiots down on them like a swarm of brain-damaged rats.
Calling someone a pedophile is the easiest and fastest way for an abuser to isolate their victim, because it's such an emotionally charged crime that people literally fantasize about criminal punishments that would get world leaders locked up in the Hague if they were to do them to any other person.
I had someone ask me what it's called when you're against the death penalty except for pedophiles, and they got mad at me when I said "that's called being pro death penalty." If you don't treat it as a special exception to every rule, people get angry with you.
And that status as a special mega-boogeyman means it gets readily abused by bad actors all the time. You're handing bad people an instant "remove all your civil rights" stick and just telling them not to bonk people with it?
That's what ISFF was talking about: The hysteria and fervor around pedophilia has done nothing to stop CSA, in fact it has empowered people who actually commit it, and it has aided fascism in killing the people they don't like.
