Do you think society needs a serious re-education on what pedophilia actually is?
Posted on: 01/30/25 07:49PM

I've been actually thinking about making a topic like this for many years now. I would even say probably as far back as when I myself was still technically a minor in high school, and wasn't legally allowed to be on this site. Even then, I wasn't sure how to begin approaching it. Guess today, for some reason or another, I finally pulled the trigger, after all these years.

Now originally, I was going to make this topic in a far more angry direction, because of some recent stupid fucking internet drama that had seriously annoyed the hell out of me, but I cooled down and decided to approach this with a cool head. With more neutral and less biased language in the form of a question.

Do you think society needs a serious re-education on what pedophilia actually is?

Here's what I think so far: I firmly believe that our society has gotten way too weirdly comfortable and complicit in calling certain things pedophilia, when it would be factually incorrect or otherwise a huge stretch. This includes but not limited to:
-the sexualization of fictional female characters who are canonically under the age of 18.
-two sexual partners that are legally protected under the "romeo and juliet" laws; such as a 19 year old dating a 16 year old.
-expressing sexual attraction towards a 16 year old girl who can pass for a 20 year old woman.

Putting it lightly, I don't think any of those instances are actual pedophilia at all.

To cut this really short, I simply think society should have a more grounded definition of pedophilia, which IMO, would be something like adults having sexual attractions to real individuals under a certain age range that's lower than 18. Whether that be under 14 or under 16, it kinda depends on the situation and on the mood. It's not perfect, mind you, but I think it's a whole lot better than "if it's under 18 you're a pedo."

What are your opinions?

Nope, maybe some other day.

But I'd rather this be more of a serious conversation, please and thank you!

None of those people in the forum did, really.

Anyway, what I read is the most cringey thing I've ever seen. Like for a different reason, one of which is "society.". Like, this is the shit I'm saying why "internet users" are not equal to normal people, or wait, the "normies," i.e., normalfags or whatever the fucking buzzwords these 4chan/twitter losers would say for the sake of "counter culture.". They do not represent common sense at all; they're not an embodiment of what reality is. It's just a bunch of losers and children who are sheltered and want's to "rebel", bunch of NEETs who don't know what the real world is and get their ideas from memes and entertainment. The "FBI" jokes are a highlight to this.

And you're a walking contradiction, SadSap. You say all the time that you hate 4chan and Twitter, yet you are following an ideology similar to these people, especially the "normie" part. Sounds ironic, isn't it? Especially when most of us are not what you think we are.

Of course it's not pedophilic if you fap to fictional characters or whatever your saying, no one outside of internet users are saying that, hell it'd say that it's almost common to see old couples who were in a huge age gap (14 to 17 as a example) and even to this day. But the way you're saying such as how "society" is the root of the problem sounds like how Joker justifying to fuck a pokemon.

I have no idea why you sound like you're upset at me over asking a question.

I don't know how old you are exactly (you vaguely mentioned early 20's before), nor what country you live in, but I'm willing to bet that you would not remark that you'd want to have sex with 16/17 year old girls in any public scenario where other real people overhear you.

I am willing to bet that there'd be some people who will call you pedophile, a nonce, etc. and may try to physically beat you up over it. Or report you to the police. These aren't twitter users. These are, obviously, real people that represent society.

What would you have to say to that?

For the record, in case you got confused, I don't think normies care about fictional character age. That is not something I was remarking as true.

That was probably a bad example to list, but it still goes into the pile of "if you sexualize anything under 18 you're a pedo"

How to get a thread locked speedrun Any%?

I mean I agree with you more or less, but what do you want to discuss?

I really hope this doesn't get locked unless it spirals out of control and there's a very justified reason to.

I'm serious mods, I've been sitting on this for years!

Just whatever else comes onto your mind about this.

And one of the questions being if you agree with society believing that under 18 is pedophilia should be the case.
