Alright. You're a pedophile but you wouldn't ever touch or hurt a child. So you are aware that pedophilia is actually bad. Then what's the point of outing yourself in public as a pedophile if you're not seeking acceptance for pedophilia?
We all know that they actually want to offend. Those who actually don't want to are not going to willingly out themselves publicly as pedophiles.
That's definitely the most charitable interpretation but I feel like someone who's desperate to actually get help will not make pedophilia his identity by running around with the MAP flag.
The 'minor attracted people' crowd isn't actually pushing pedophiles to seek help. They want pedophilia to be accepted as a valid sexual orientation. But if you're not talking about that crowd I honestly haven't noticed anyone telling pedophiles to publicly out themselves to seek help.
