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

      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.
