Pedophilia is not akin to being gay (and kindly fuck off with that tyvm). It's akin to rape, or sexual sadism (and I mean real, violent sadism, not roleplay). It is a predatory inclination and @nxsfi is right - trying to frame it as an "orientation" does sound like MAP acceptance rhetoric.
Pedophilia can't be comparable to rape because rape is an act and pedophilia is not. Child rape is often incorrectly called pedophilia, but pedophilia itself is a mental state, and this is exactly the kind of conversation where conflating mental states with actions is entirely unacceptable.
I like girls. Does that mean I rape them too? Spaceships too. Also rape?
Children can never consent, so your analogy doesn't work
Spaceships can absolutely consent.
Does lemmy have a dragonsfuckingcars yet?
Dunno, but would it be cool with ai spaceships fucking kids?
I'd hope most instances would defederate from that.
We can agree on that
Consent to what? Me liking them? Nobody really gets to decide what I like. I don't even decide that. If I could do that, I'd pick something super accessible and non controversial like just breathing or viewing the color green.
