If I read this correctly, the professor is trans and claims it is to protect children.

It’s hilarious the mental gymnastics pedos do to normalize wanting to fuck children.

Mostly just colleges.

This is the sort of thinking that resulted in our society collapsing around us.

Colleges are where most of the problems are originating. You've gotta plug the leak before you start bailing out the water.

There is one that keeps posting about some "research" that totally for realz shows that the GOOD pedophiles who absolutely do not molest kids have more empathy for children than normal people.

Apologies, Sir, but we only have a wood chipper. Would you perhaps settle for death by mulching?

It's a science paper. You gotta have a control and a test group, can't just chuck them in to a new device so mindlessly! Get a couple more and do both, n > 30, with 95% confidence interval.

The only step I want them to take is onto the gallows.

Wait, are we talking proper gallows, or the beam type where death was typically slower?

Either is acceptable. I don't need these people to suffer for some sadistic fantasy, I just need them to be removed from society in a fashion that will deter others from engaging in similar behavior.

Tbh I don't mind research on pedos.

Like, the literal neurosurgical research.

...

Oh it wasn't that, whatever.

I'd be quite pleased with the development of a cure that doesn't revolve around primer, propellant, and projectile.

Unfortunately, these egghead types don't seem to be interested in searching for one.

"Minor attracted people" reminds me of the phrase "people experiencing homelessness"

Typical right-wing anti-sciencism. If we don't do research on minor attracted persons, how will we know that shampoo is actually tear-free? Or that a medicine is safe for human use? Or how long it would take fire ants to eat a face?

In all seriousness, it's a complicated issue. A huge chuck of existing pedophiles were abused as kids by adults and there definitely seems to be a link. I think it's a terrible idea, generally, to hold people accountable for what they might do, rather than what they've done.

On the other hand, it's pretty obvious that this prof is an SJW trying to push "tolerance". It frames the protests as attacking the LGBETC movement, it's book praises pedos for not offending (a bit like praising a psychopath for not torturing animals), and it itself has acted on unhealthy urges that could very well harm itself or others.

If we're talking about research on pedophiles, we should be talking about hormone therapy, chemical castration, partial lobotomies, etc. Writing a book painting MAPs (an obvious trojan hourse for the normalization and martyrization of pedophiles) as sympathetic, that's not research.

Sorry there are no “two-sides” to pedophilia. They can die.

I think the idea was trying to understand how people come to be this way, in an effort to stop it from happening (if possible). In reference to the above comment, not the prof from the article. He can get fucked, bc this was clearly in pursuit of normalizing pedophilia.

It probably would be a decent idea to actually figure out if people becoming pedophiles can be prevented. Whether it's an evil decision or something that can be medicated or somehow prevented it probably worth knowing.

Don't need to understand evil. You obliterate it.

Yeah I get that, but no need to be shortsighted. If it can be understood and PREVENTED its certainly worth doing so.

Did you know that research is often based on talking to people?

Allyn Walker will remain on leave until they step down

Lmao @ journalists using tumblr speak

"I think we have a tendency to want to categorize people with these attractions as evil or morally corrupt. But when we’re talking about non-offending MAPS, these are people who have an attraction that they didn’t ask for. And one that frequently they would do anything to change. But they find that they’re unable to change those attractions. And most importantly, the people in my study did not act on them."

so the xir was 'TALKING' to nonofeending pedos, for their study. That's pretty close to journalism.

Resaerch where no one is harmed should not be dictated by popularity contests; the xir professor talking to 'maps' who arent criminal, while offputting, shouldnt be criminalized or make the xir lose his career over it; I wonder if these faggots have made petitions to remove fauc for the even more evil stuff he's done

A non offending map is just someone who hasn’t been caught yet. In almost every case of these studies the pedos admit to having used and trafficked kiddy porn.
