I got into a discussion on one of the portals today, because I noticed posts in which people wrote that they felt empathy towards pedophiles. People who defended the victims got dislikes. Posts understanding pedophiles received likes. The argument of these people was that they have no control over it, that they don't always hurt children, that at most they fantasize or watch CP. I'll admit that it angered me as a victim of a pedo, and replied that I don't feel empathy towards pedophiles and that I would rather people focus more on protecting children than empathizing with pedophiles. I wrote that watching CP is just as bad and harmful to children, and that fantasizing about children is not normal because there is nothing sexual about them or that fantasizing can be already dangerous in itself. And I added that they don't know if it will end with mere fantasizing. And I almost got treated as bad person, People started to write that not every pedophile hurts and at most they will think about kids and that they feel empathy for them because they don't control it and that because of people like me they are afraid to report and treat themself. Maybe I'm actually being unempathic, but I also wish people had more empathy for victims, especially children, rather than feeling so much sympathy for pedophiles. On the one hand I try to understand their point of view, on the other hand I cannot in any way empathize or justify pedophiles regardless of whether they harm children or ONLY fantasize, because that was their main argument, that not all pedophiles harm and should not be treated the same as real degenerates. Their next argument was that they shouldn't be oppressed because then they would be afraid of treatment and there should be more talk about it. I, on the other hand, was of the opinion that I would rather protect children from potential pedophiles than focus on sympathizing with them. So either I actually have something wrong with my head and am unempathic or the world has gone downhill.
This raised few questions in my head. From the spiritual point of view of Satanism, how do you feel about pedophiles those who only fantasize about children? Was I really wrong and should I change my point of view? How do you see combating pedophilia in the future?
