Because alienating and isolating paedophiles, making sure they have nothing left to lose by acting out their sick desires on real children is the way to go?Cassita said:Poor them, having all those sexual thoughts over children. Boy, I sure do feel for them -_-Spot1990 said:SNIP
Hate is a defense mechanism.
Repulsion and alienation is too.
Evolution has given us tools to defend ourselves from perverted wastes of skin for a reason.
I trust we can all agree that the most - if not only - important thing is that actual children don't get hurt. Anything which helps that cause is good, and anything which hinders it is bad.
As for hatred, societal isolation, repulsion, and alienation, such are measures which will only serve to make the paedophiles in question indifferent to social norms, and rob them of incentives to not act on the dark desire he/she possess; therefore, I'm not for it. Punish them relentlessly if they do act, but do not help push them to do so...
As for "lolicon", it's currently unclear whether it motivates eventual molestation that would not otherwise have taken place (bad), or helps provide a harmless outlet for paedophiles for their twisted desire, thus preventing molestation that would otherwise have taken place (good). No studies have been made on this, and thus I for one reserves judgement on it for now. That it is subjectively disgusting has no say in this regard; only the fates of actual children matter.
Prevention and condemnation of actual harm is paramount; What is merely disgusting to most of us, who are however free not to seek it out, matters nothing. As usual, blind emotion gets us nowhere.
