    Not if they aren’t acting on it, geez.

    If they woke up one day, realized to their horror they wanted to do some fucked up shit, and then just never did, that’s crappy for them to have to deal with, and they’re a champion for not making it anybody else’s problem.

      I always worry about this. Ive got some specific non-vanilla stuff that I didnt ask for and cant change. Lucky for me its nothing illegal or harmful, just non-standard.

      It could just as easily have been the bad.

          Yeah you can see that with trans people. They’ve always been in kind of danger, and the easy target for the butt of a joke, but they’ve become a political target seemingly out of nowhere.

      Plus a lot of child molesters aren’t even attracted to children, just the power and control it gives them.

        I think that it’s also the fact that children, due to being inexperienced and lacking knowledge and strength to defend themselves, which makes them easy targets.

          I did NOT say or imply that it makes anything better.

          In fact, expanding the pool of potential abusers to those that just want power over others makes it worse.

          It doesn’t make acting on it in that way any better, because it’s the same thing. Though assuming no action occurs, it’s probably an easier chestnut for a psychiatrist to crack or at least direct to healthier channels.
