The good/bad binary is something that people have to unlearn.

EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY is on a scale of good or bad. (This includes us.)

It's very hard to solve a problem if your thinking is black and white as that graphic so ably shows.

    Incidentally, that "men who passively enjoy/consume/encourage predation" bit is a lot more common than people think. Consider how many men are HUGE fans of japanimation. Now consider how much japanimation, even the stuff for children, contains casual SA as a way of saying "Hello"….

    That's men who passively consume predation. And there's a LOT of them.

    People don’t exist on the spectrum, the spectrum exists in all of us.

    I think both are true. The spectrum exists in us, because we have an expansive internal life, but our actions place us in the spectrum. Most people are fairly uniform in their actions, while we could argue that you could display actions each one placing you in a different point of the spectrum.
