Pedophilia is not some weird fetish, though. It has no place in this world. Pedophiles just don't deserve to have their sexual needs met in any way - period.

A lot of the comments in here seem a little bit too sympathetic.

A "weird fetish" is, quite literally a paraphilia, just like pedophilia. We only care about the latter because it has the potential to hurt people if acted upon. There's no difference, medically speaking.

When you want to solve an issue you need to understand the people having it and have some compassion, which tends to include stuff like defending people who didn't actually do anything harmful from being grouped with the kind who do act on their urges.

Humans also tend to possess an abusive tendency, where, once they can justify labeling somebody as "bad" they can justify being cruel to them. I see people doing it all the time.
