These celebrities really needs to find better hobbies than posting on Twitter/X.

Like shitposting on Lemmy.

Who exactly is this directed at that thinks pedophilia is "just a sexuality?"
Seems like he's just trying to sew the seed that LGBT activists support pedophilia, which they don't

Ok but how are sexualities and plants related? I understand the joke is "kill pedos" but I'm missing something, can anyone help connect the dots?

Have you ever had an IQ test or similar? You sometimes get questions like “A car is to transport, what a fork is to ___” with the answer being “cutlery”. It’s not that transport/cutlery or cars/forks have anything in common, it’s about their relationship to the group.

So in the post it’s saying that “if you think paedophilla is just a type of sexuality, then murdering someone and burying their body is just a type of gardening”. It’s not exactly a flawless comparison, but that’s what they were going for.

We’re all talking about how bad of a person he is, but not enough about how stupid he is.

I mean… if I literally wrote a song about wanting to have sex with a 13-year old girl four decades ago you could catch me dead before you see me ever mentioning anything related to minors or pedophilia in the rest of my life. Posting something like this is pretty much asking for people to dig up all the shit you did. Like I never heard about him before this and the first thing I know is that he’s a pedo. Great job I guess?

I respect but also feel sorry for people who are sexually attracted to children, but manage to control themselves. They have to work extra hard constantly just to not be monsters, while the rest of us never even have to worry about that.

Well this is certainly a thing that someone typed once. I’d counter that it’s not simply that people are innocently attracted to children and therefore deserve sympathy. I’d say there’s more involved in that attraction. You can’t reasonably engage in any romantic or sexual abuse encounter with a child without there being a totally lopsided power dynamic and a high degree of exploitation. I’d argue that for all such people this is what draws them to it. Within that context it’s not some innocent ‘miswiring’ of the brain but instead an individual that is completely unhealthy and mentally unwell that is entertaining the idea of grooming some child. That’s the part they are after.

I know there’s a movement to try and see pedophiles as anything but what they are and you can sit and have thought experiments about ‘the ones that act vs those that don’t’ but at the end of the day you are left with a deeply unwell individual that desperately needs inpatient psychiatric treatment, psychiatric medication, extensive counseling, and total separation from any children.

Well, you'd be wrong. Pedophilia is well studied. It's attraction to children, and there's a huge amount of variation in how that is expressed and how the psychology around it develops through a person's life. Baselessly claiming that all people with pedophilia are just rapists who want easy prey is unhelpful nonsense.

After all, the word stems from the suffix "philia" which means tendency or affinity towards, as opposed to "phobia" which means aversion or separation from. Philia is used for a lot of words as a suffix for literally meaning affinity towards, like in the word "hydrophilic" or affinity towards (bearing) water, but it can also denote interest or attraction as in "audiophile" (interested in audio), "cynophile" (interested in or lover of canines/dogs), or "gynophile" (interested or loving of women).

Here's the definition and further background about "pedophile".

The only other musician that's firmly in their camp is Kid Rock and I wouldn't wish that fate on anyone

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

and kid rock also wrote a song about diddling kids that appeared in the movie Osmosis Jones!

"Young ladies, young ladies, I like 'em underage see Some say that's statutory (But I say it's mandatory)"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I try and ignore Kid Rock as much as possible and didn't think my opinion of him could get any lower. I was wrong, very, very wrong.

Amongst other allegations, Courtney Love said they had oral sex when she was just 12 years old.

More about the allegations against him here.

Huh, se he's one of the reason Courtney Love is that way that she is.
