You're probably mistaking pedophilia with child molesters; the former is a sexual orientation, just like being a homosexual is - not something an individual can control; the latter is a crime, like rape.
- k-mcgrady 10y agoI'm aware of the distinction, I was just using OP's terminology.I was talking about negative externalities to other people/society so hopefully it's clear what I meant. Thanks for the correction though.
- Dylan16807 10y agoI think the OP meant exactly what they said. It's en vogue to hate people suffering that particular mental disorder because we're worried they might hurt someone.
- ams6110 10y agoAre you saying a nonstandard sexual orientation is a mental disorder?
- Dylan16807 10y agoThat particular one is generally classified as such. It's in the DSM. It can be quite destructive.
- tomp 10y agoSo was homosexuality not too long ago.
