So, there was that reddit thread posted by someone expressing their concern toward a certain side-character which appeared in a manga (fumetsu no anata e, aka to you the immortal).
I expected to see the usual pedophilic comments, since I see them so often in MAL. "omg normies at it again" or "it's just fiction", something like that.
Unfortunately, what I saw was on an another level.
First I saw the "but it's their culture" excuse.
It was imagineable until this point, but then I saw someone actually saying that pedophiles are actually... victims...
"They're suffering from pedophilic disorders, they're not actually enjoying it!"
I mean, they literally wrote that for real. They also wrote that it's creepy and uncomfortable, but they are literally making excuses for pedophiles, and implying that they should not be society outcasts...
This is messed up. Ok, so pedophiles who didn't actually made a mistake because they think it's wrong don't deserve to be punished by law? If that's the case, then yes. But that doesn't mean we can actually to exist normally in our society, can we?
Psychopaths who didn't commit a crime should not be punished, nobody should be punished for something they didn't do, but does that mean we can tolerate living normally with them? What if they lose to their temptations for once and kill someone? Shouldn't they be supervised in mental health units/hospitals and monitored so they can be stopped before it's too late?
The same thing goes with pedophiles, then.
They should not be allowed to interact with children. I wouldn't tolerate a pedophile-with-no-record to get close to any child I know, nor any child I have no connections with.
Providing screenshots in case someone doesn't believe it, like when I first read their comments:
Another debate, in response for me saying that I'm losing hope of the manga for portraying the pedophile character as a good guy:
Now with the real deal:
Yup.
I made this thread not only because of that reddit thread, I've seen alot of people normalizing pedophilia, but those guys were the last straws.
I'm sorry for the long post, and for my possible english mistakes, but I just needed to vent. I wanted to express how tired I am, and to talk with people who understand how dangerous sympathy with pedophilia is.
I'm done with this world, honestly.
