Now yes, people can play semantics about gay and pedo
No, they are being factual, and you obviously have rather bad training on the subject and are simply reiterating what you read somewhere on the internet.
The science on the subject is clear: Statistically, pedophiles do not have proportionally more gays than straight people. In fact, there are several studies that focused on this particular subject. These studies actually tested for sexuality, based on arousal.
And oddly, every single time, the perentage of homosexuals among pedophiles is single digit. What happens is that
even people who molest boys are usually straight (as expected, since people usually are straight). They only have interest in women. Why boys? They fit into the pattern. Smooth skin, soft voice, lack of body hair, smaller size: Pre-puberty boys are often taken as mini-women.
Objectively, this pedophile is straight. He picks his victim for, in his eyes, feminine traits, and only shows arousal towards women as adults. He will usually have a happy marriage as well, with women thinking he performs well in bed. Men will disgust him.
Homophobic people will call these people gay, however, to make a point to bash gay people by skewing these numbers. But the perps usually aren't gay, would never see themselves as gay, and in fact could never be seen as gay.
You go to a high traffic area with children left along, watch one for a short period of time, and then take action.
This too is false, and proves you never had much contact with real police work (or were really, really bad at it). Usually, child molesters do
not do this. This is TV series child molestation, not real child molestation. High-traffic areas are among the least likely area for a child molester to act. The areas a child molester are likely to act in are areas with very low traffic, like their own home, their school, or the church.
This is why by far the overwhelming majority of child abuse cases happen within the confines of the family, or other areas considered "safe", not in "high-traffic areas".
is going to want to do it someplace where they are less likely to be recognized.
Wrong. This is a hollywood-level of understanding, not what happens in the real world. In the real world, the child molester usually does not think that far, and assumes they can keep the child quiet by the authority they have over the child.
And it works! Look how long it usually takes for child abuse victims to talk. It can take decades. Since it's done by friends. Teachers. Someone the child knows, respects and/or fears.
Meanwhile, a complete stranger will have the children MUCH more likely to report something. Because the adult is a stranger, and not someone with power over the child. Raping a child that doesn't know you is simply a much higher risk.
That is why these cases end up with murder at MUCH higher rates, whereas all the family/school/priest rapes do not. And which is why the later are much more common. This fact already proves you wrong, wrong, wrong.
The point I'm making is that while you can call me a liar, what I say about how gay pedophilles act, their numbers in relation to say straight pedophilles, and similar things, all comes from experience and training. As in people have taught me what to look for and how to deal with this (in a certain context) and I have gone out doing my job, seen this with my own eyes, not just someone elses assurances, and dealt with real pedophilles trying to lure real children, for real rape. Don't tell me it's not so, because I know otherwise. If you don't believe me, then we really have nothing to say to each other here anyway
And I know you're making this up (or had really terrible training), because due to my job I have actual experience with dealing with children that went through child abuse. Unlike you, I have more than a cursory knowledge on the subject, as well.
And considering that the science on the subject agrees with my point, it's quite unlikely that I'm wrong. You meanwhile kept reiterating falsehoods that were proven wrong 20-30 years ago. Worse, these falsehoods
are used today to protect child molesters. Your bad arguments are usually used to deny that a coach, a priest, or a father could be the perp, which leads to blame on the child ("the child made it up!" "he couldn't have done it, he's too kind"). People with your arguments are the very people that blame the victim in child abuse cases, and cause SO much trauma on the victims.
It is horrible and you should feel horrible. How dare you turn something as serious and damaging as this into a point to bash a group of people you evidently dislike, fully knowing that your "point" actively helps to hurt children? If you had any training with proper police, you would know that nearly everything you said is wrong.
How can you live with this?
Yes, there is a profile for people who use a relationship with a child to exploit them, however that's FAR less common than you might think. It has a high statistical representation because the risks in exploiting someone your that close to are substantial, leading to people being caugh
This is utterly wrong. It's exactly the other way round. The risks are LOW, not HIGH, as proven by, you know, these cases taking an average of over twelve years(!) to even have the victim ABLE to accuse their molester, at which point the evidence is already gone. Most of these cases never manage to reach court, and the perp gets away scot free.
Hell, this is why teachers or priests usually can molest dozens of children. Even if the children say something, people with your flawed understanding of reality accuse them of lying and shame them into silence. They
think most rapists are strangers. This is a persistent narrative that flies in the face of research, and that people nevertheless cling to, because they don't want to believe that nice teacher could be a rapist.
And they are objectively wrong. You should be ashamed. If you had any training at all, you would know that you're lying, in one of the most disgusting ways possible, for compltely terrible reasons, only to bash a group of people you hate so much that you seem to think sacrificing real children to bash them is an acceptable thing.
