Wow, with such a daring name as well. Fucking disgusting.
I once saw a list of defederated lemmy instances. In most cases, and I mean like 95% of them, the reason of thedefederation was pretty much in the instance name. CP everywhere. Humanity is a freaking mistake.
I regularly see people on Lemmy advocating for pedophilia, at LEAST every 3 months as a popular, upvoted stance. I argue with them in my history
what he fuck I've never ran into anyone like that.don't even wanna know where you do this regularly

I'm sorry but classifying that as advocating for pedophilia is crazy. all they said is they don't know about studies regarding it so they said "probably" instead of making a definitive statement. you took that word and ran with it; your response is extremely over the top and hostile to someone who didn't advocate for what you're saying they advocate for.
It's none of my business what you do with your time here but if I were you I'd be more cool headed about this because this is giving qanon.
They literally investigated specific time frames of their voyeurism kink in medieval times extensively, wrote several paragraphs in favor of having children watch adults have sex, but couldn't be bothered to do the most basic of research that sex abuse is harmful to children.
"they knew some things and didn't know some things" isn't worth getting so worked up over. they knew the mere concept of sex being taboo negatively affected them and didn't want to make definitive statements about things they didn't research. believe it or not lemmy comments are not dissertations and most people just talk and don't bother researching every tangential topic just to make a point they want to make.
Even then, a common bit you'll hear from people actually defending pedophilia is that the damage caused is a result of how society reacts to it or the way it's done because of the taboo against it rather than something inherent to the act itself, which would be even harder to do research on than researching pedophilia outside a criminal context already is to begin with. For starters, you'd need to find some culture that openly engaged in adult sex with children in some social context and was willing to be examined to see if the same (or different or any) damages show themselves.
And that's before you get into the question of defining where exactly you draw the age line before it "counts" as child sexual abuse, which doesn't have a single, coherent answer. The US alone has at least three different answers to how old someone has to be before having sex with them is not illegal based on their age alone (16-18, with 16 being most common), with many having exceptions that go lower (one if the partners are close "enough" in age are pretty common). For example in my state, the age of consent is 16 with an exception if the parties are less than 4 years difference in age. For California in comparison if two 17 year olds have sex they've both committed a misdemeanor unless they are married.
none of this applies to the comment they cited as an example of defending pedophilia.
I feel like what he’s trying to say it shouldn’t be the end of the world if a kid sees a sex scene in a movie, like it should be ok for them to know it exists. But the way he phrases it is questionable at best.
When I was a kid I was forced to leave the room when any intimate scenes were in a movie and I honestly do feel like it fucked with my perception of sex a bit. Like it’s this taboo thing that should be hidden away and never discussed.
He wants children to full on watch adults have sex because he has a voyeurism kink. Solved that for you.
Gratefully, I've not experienced this.
And I don't want to know where they are.
gross, probably the reason they got banned from reddit for the same thing, promoting or soliciting csam material.
I don't really think Reddit minds that, actually, given that u/spez was the lead mod of r/jailbait until.he got caught and hid who the mods were
Isnit not encouraging that it is ostracised and removed from normal people. There are horrible parts of everything in nature, life is good despite those people and because of the rest combatting their shittiness
You're just seeing "survivor's bias" (as nasty as that sounds in this case) not a general representation.
No, there really are a lot of pedophiles on Lemmy
There are a lot of pedophiles everywhere.
Unfortunately, the really rich ones get away with it for a long time, and few get away with it forever.
epstein files is never going to be fully released, too many rich and powerful people
idk im at like 7 months an the only time i was able to ctrl f "pedo" in your history was when you were talking about trump (which, fair) and then again about 4chan pedophiles (which, again).
From a month ago: https://lemmy.world/post/26165823/15375845
as said before, that person was not advocating for anything. he made a qualified statement, which you answered to with examples of kids in cults and flipped out calling him all kinds of nasty things.
Lmfao as I stated, they said that physical sexual abuse "PROBABLY" harms kids but they have only done research into their voyeurism kink as it applies to children.
Go off defending pedos, though 👏
yeah that's on me I only searched "pedo"
Ive been on lemmy for years (even when .ml was the only instance) and hadn't seen anything of the sort though I don't go digging for it either. I doubt that Lemmy is any worse than Facebook or Telegram when it comes to this.
