Seems like there is aprox 15% of the population that needs to be purged
I wonder how close to a perfect circle the Venn diagram of "people who don't want the Epstein files released" and "actual pedophiles" is...
Do poor pedophiles have solidarity with disgustingly rich pedophiles? I'd imagine those opposed are deeply invested in the status quo.
I'm guessing around 15%
...if 51 million us citizens are pedophiles i think psychology and anthropology has a lot of work to do
Um… one out of every 8 women are raped as a minor in the US. %15 is probably closer than you think.
that's insane stats. horrible.
a thought from reading the other reply, i think we can safely say that the numbers of abusers are around there, but i don't think we can ever find out how many of them are doing it only due to getting off on the power imbalance rather than on the actual person they are abusing. it could be that it's situational, like suicides. it's not something i want to think about too much.
Depends on definitions really.
Online pedo has a low bar ans seems to mean anyone who has any sexual thoughts directed to a factual minor.
Irl you have a distinction between attraction and acting, also between children en teenagers.
Plenty of sick fucks who are into power and general taboo but are not actually attracted to minors themselves specifically. That list is going to have plenty of people like that.
Vs
Non acting actual pedophiles that are moral citizens privately dealing with a sex disorder. They are just as likely to demand justice as the rest of us.
i also read that somewhere, that it's not a question of attraction but a question of power. it's still abuse though.
