on r/jailbait

Would you explain something to me? I know this is gonna be buried like most of my comments in this subreddit, but I'd like to ask: what do you think should be done with pedophiles?

First of all, I'm not interested in jailbait at all, only the arguments that are going on about it. Yes, these guys are attracted to kids: what makes that more "sick" as you say than being attracted to guys? Didn't liberalism achieved (or tried at least) to make people understand that gay people were born that way and it's not a choice?

People have weird and "disgusting" fetishes, but I don't think I'll ever see you fight with a group of guys who are attracted to ghosts (even though they are out there). I think the fear from pedophiles comes from those crazy kidnapper-stories and cases, and in no way do I support any of those sick crimes, nor the theft of personal images. But if you're liberal, then you should understand that these guys have a sexual urge, and they have to fulfill it somehow. If we force them to repress it, then I think it'll most likely "explode" out from them, and make them actually do something horrible. But as of now, at least they have a place to "live off" the pressure.

If there would be stolen pictures of 7 year olds or something, than I'd fully be against jailbait, but browsing through it's front page I've got the impression that most of those girls look like they were intended to make those photos for the exact purpose of getting someone aroused. The way I see it, there is no real harm done. Of course if the author requests it or if it doesn't look like a public photo, then it should be removed immediately.

Then what is the alternative? As I've said, I believe that shutting it down would be even less peaceful on the long run. Mind you: I'm not on their side, and if I could just make pedophilia disappear, I would do it without hesitation. But shutting off their community is not going to achieve that: in fact, that way they won't know that there are more people like them out there, they'll feel like outcasts, and I believe that feeling is the first step of becoming an actual serial killer or something.
