...but it is an area with so much grey, it's not as black and white as everyone here seems to think and anyone that refuses to see the nuance
There's no nuance at all in this, and only pseudointellectuals and pedos think there is.
Not being punished because you haven't committed any crimes isn't nuanced at all. Its not a brave, or radical thing to think, and it doesn't take a SaganJr to see what a meaningless truism it really is, but that's not the even the point that Hildy was trying to make, it's just what he doubled down on when his moral relativism argument fell flat.
All he really wanted to do was say trolls are worse than some specific category of pedo, so he chose pedos who technically arent pedos to compare us to thinking it was some kind of gotchya. There was no nuance, it was an extremely retarded black and white point he was trying to make, and he simply couldn't hang when people argued against it because he is an idiot.
Hildy thinks people who don't fuck children even though they really want to "deserve credit", whatever the fuck "credit" means. Apparently it just means "approval from Eric hildeman". Why do they deserve any more credit than the rest of society?
What these people really deserve is a life time place on a watch list and medical intervention so they never end up acting on their urges. Maybe they should get a quick thanks for sticking their neck out but that's it. Do schizophrenics get special credit for telling their psychiatrist that they have been thinking about stabbing their neighbour? No, they get medical intervention so that their mental illness is kept under control, with the ultimate aim being to chemically cosh their urges into submission so they can hopefully reenter society and be a normal person that doesn't want to murder strangers or fuck babies.
Honestly. Imagine a situation where someone confided in you that they really want to fuck a child, but haven't done it yet and they totally promise they never will. What would you say? "Good job, buddy!"?
Or would you say "we need to get some authorities involved in this". Fucking credit...
Goddammit Pogrom, you are a fucking retard sometimes.
