Kind of just felt like sparking a discussion thread and thought this might be an interesting one.
For me personally, one of, if not, my most controversial takes is that I will associate with anyone. Regardless of their opinions of if I personally find their opinions to be disgusting or revolting. I will give anyone respect who gives me respect.
Another one which I’ve expressed here before is that I do not think someone simply being a pedophile automatically makes them a pure evil child abuser who can’t help but rape every child that they see. And that some people can have this affliction and not actively seek out abusive content or attempt abusive actions.
My opinions on loli/shota/cub are also fairly controversial, but I imagine those are mostly shared by the majority of people here.
That should probably get us started pretty good!
So, What’s a controversial take that you have that most people would disagree with?
Feel free to have peaceful discussions about other people’s responses.
I think a few decades down the road, no offence pedophilia will be destigmatized like being gay was. There was an old stigma that being gay meant that you were the type of person who who go around raping males (homosexual was used much like pedophile is). I think that in a few decades, people will say it was morally unjust to do the things that are being done to the non-offenders of today.
I don’t think it will be. I do hope that its pervasiveness will be recognized by average people, and we will stop treating me them like monsters.
All sexual taboos are latent in human sexuality.
Gatekeeping is a good thing. Once something gets popular it attracts more attention, and that’s very bad for a small culture. Not to mention once there’s capital in the water the suits show up and take over.
Humans are bad, and not (just) in a hippie kinda way. As a product of totally random processes we’re kinda cool, as an actual design the body is absolutely horrible. The brain is an amazing computer, but it takes down right bizarre shortcuts. We as a species need to be working towards fixing the failures of biology.
The US gov is actually very lenient and respectful with Trump, he was given a lot of opportunities to not get in trouble, and the current indictments are only happening because Trump is an extraordinary moron. Nothing anyone else did recently with classified docs even compares. Trump did everything to provoke this and more.
