I wonder how close to a perfect circle the Venn diagram of "people who don't want the Epstein files released" and "actual pedophiles" is...

    a thought from reading the other reply, i think we can safely say that the numbers of abusers are around there, but i don't think we can ever find out how many of them are doing it only due to getting off on the power imbalance rather than on the actual person they are abusing. it could be that it's situational, like suicides. it's not something i want to think about too much.

    Depends on definitions really.

    Online pedo has a low bar ans seems to mean anyone who has any sexual thoughts directed to a factual minor.

    Irl you have a distinction between attraction and acting, also between children en teenagers.

    Plenty of sick fucks who are into power and general taboo but are not actually attracted to minors themselves specifically. That list is going to have plenty of people like that.

    Vs

    Non acting actual pedophiles that are moral citizens privately dealing with a sex disorder. They are just as likely to demand justice as the rest of us.
