There is a cosmically ironic sort of humor in how people like me have to be like "If I mention that I enjoyed a problematic anime show seven years ago while still recognizing its issues, will people think I'm a pedophile?" etc, meanwhile rich and well-connected cishet men like this guy can literally scream "I WANT THE LEGAL RIGHT TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT CHILDREN!!!" and a bajillion creeps will arf and clap without worry of consequence.

Pedophilia Is A System

Pedophilia Is A System

They always dance around the issue too and claim they have attraction to 17 year olds and that it's totally normal, this is how men did things for centuries, to paper over the fact that the real slippery slope is that it won't stop with 17 year olds. So miss me with the conservative fever dream that legalizing gay marriage or allowing trans people rights opens up the door to depraved deviancy like zoophilia.

This ties into a broader thing where under the typical patriarchal view women are depersonalized sex-things to own and use, and so extending the minimum age downwards however much they feel they can get away with is "normal" to them: they only see women as bodies to which they are attracted and which they would like to use, and since every material problem with targeting younger and younger women is about the person being less experienced and less able to exist independently and so more easily exploited and abused^[Also that having children early is very dangerous and unhealthy, but I almost don't even want to mention this because it ties back into issue of women being reduced to their bodies.] they see the problems as a plus because it just reinforces the fucked up power dynamic they believe in.

That's also why they're so hellbent on distinguishing between their own desire to prey on teenage girls and "real" pedophilia: they see the abuse they want to do as normal and maybe just a little bit of a vice like gambling or doing cocaine, and they absolutely mald at the suggestion that that's weird and not normal at all. They believe themselves to be the height of normalcy, the arbiters of normalcy, and pointing at that they're repulsive predatory freaks undermines the status and power they violently cling to.

I also think that there's a parallel between the sexual objectification of progressively younger people, and capitalists' desire to bring back child labor — as in, these are two sides of the same coin, like one of the main driving forces behind the reproduction of pedophilia in our current mode of production is the mode's need for a progressively larger pool of laborers who are ideally more easily exploited and abused.

So this is what I'm referring to when I say that "pedophilia is a system": that all sexuality is in some manner both reproductive and reproduced, and as such pedophilia would not exist without a mode of production already prone to exploit and abuse children in other ways. That pedophilia is not really a product of "defective brains", but is rather "programmed", created by these systems of exploitation as a tool to help maintain themselves — and this is just as true of the pederasts of ancient slave societies as the Xitter "lolicons" of today.

But this is just my own view.

...Is according to Wiktionary a rare synonym of "pedophilia" — what do you mean by this?

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Probably pedophilia as an ideology, playing off your "Pedophilia Is A System" line?

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago

That's what I'm figuring too, but it's hard to interpret a one word reply.

I always think of the admiral-biederman bit about Tucker Carlson constantly platforming The Dersh in order to make people more antisemitic

This man clearly doesn't care if people think he's a pedophile.

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 15 points 2 days ago

He's the kind of guy that would try and defend himself by saying nerd "umm aktually pedophilia is attraction to prepubescent children, I'm attracted to postpubescent children"

I have sex with minors as often as I want...

which is zero.

is there room to talk about the age of consent? it is an arbitrary age, and what if in an 17 year old couple one has a birthday, is it suddenly illegal for them to date? I'm some places it is.

or how minors can get trialed as adults for sending their own nudes (which they shouldn't have)?

but talking about lowering it just because you're a pedo? fuck no

Oh so not satisfied with the rich Epstein circles of mutual blackmail for the western elite that provide him with UA teenagers to SA he is now saying we should legalize the teenagers so the blackmail circles have to provide him with pre-pubescents instead. That is the way I am reading this. That or he has grown very tired of the company he has to be in at those Eyes Wide Shut style events.
