Recreational drug use and addiction are very different things. I agree that addiction should be treated seriously.
But what you said sounds like saying we shouldnt normalize pedophilia when someone says we should normalize christianity.
Recreational drug use has been normal since way before humans existed. Its just that every culture has its own set of drugs that they consider normal and the Murican war on drugs did a very good job in globally demonizing all drugs not considered normal in their own culture.
I’m gonna hate myself for writing this but you can’t compare pedophilia and christianity.
One is a very dangerous thing that has destroyed countless lives and the other is an awfully unfortunate part of human psychology that harms everyone involved with it.
Christianity can be stopped though, pedophilia can be lived with at best.
I’m talking about the psychological aspect of some people who are attracted to minors, not the legal ramifications.
If these people can manage these urges and not abuse minors, that’s living with it and honestly the best possible scenario since it sadly is part of human nature.
The reason I talk about it this way is that people seem to forget that (probably most) pedophiles don’t want to be attracted to children but simply are and villifying them for something they can’t help is unproductive at the very least. They shouldn’t act on them but society should also give them a way to live without hurting themselves and/or others.

Pedophilia can be stopped but we’re too concerned with the rights of abusers than protection of victims

Oh yeah. Good point, my mistake.
