It's nuanced in terms of whether you're talking about the thought or the act, and as far as I'm concerned the word only describes the thought. If you're advocating for arresting people over thought crimes, YOU are evil. But if this is how you're gonna play > I wasn't expecting the Google defense brigade to be defending pedophilia You're obviously just bad faith arguing so you're not a person worth talking to.

  You should take your own advice, considering that these thoughts have a high chance of hurting other people.

  > So yes, if you indicate to me that you're a pedophile, I am calling the cops or other relevant authorities (none come to mind) to report it. Not because I want to have you arrested simply for having that urge, but because your urges have a strong likelihood of harming others, directly or indirectly. Hi, look. I'm a non-offending pedophile. I'm also a victim of child sexual abuse, which was partly what made me one. My story is a lot more common than you might think. Did you know that on average, pedophiles discover it when they are just 14? Did you know that a lot of these minor MAPs attempt suicide? I would never hurt a child because I was hurt in the past. But I am still attracted to children, and I am not ashamed of it. I am in therapy, but not to "cure" myself as you might want. I don't want to change this part of myself, because it is part of myself, and I do not harm anyone. I do not perform sexual acts with real life children. From this, obviously, attraction is not the same as action. Gemini is correct here. Your actions, or your threats, hurt us more than we would hurt anyone else.
