@Snakeputation0 @mercyonjupiter You wouldn't rather them be rehabilitated?

[Omnibenevolite @Omnibenevolite]

@kris_talks There are some things worth getting mad about. Their anger may be misdirected or confused, but that's a different vice. Anyways this person isn't even making an argument; they're literally just threatening you, I see no point in responding.

[Omnibenevolite @Omnibenevolite]

@Snakeputation0 @mercyonjupiter By "them" here I am referring to antis; not pedophiles

[Omnibenevolite @Omnibenevolite]

@Snakeputation0 @mercyonjupiter includes explaining the history of social justice, gradually increasing support for the marginalized, and widespread ideological change about them as well. (2/2)

[Omnibenevolite @Omnibenevolite]

@Snakeputation0 @mercyonjupiter And even if you do, which I would greatly admire, it doesn't change the fact that we live in an extremely hateful society and in order to protect pedophiles we are obliged to tell all of the information which might cause them to cease their hatred and understand, which (1/2)

[Omnibenevolite @Omnibenevolite]

@Snakeputation0 @mercyonjupiter Then what do you have to say to all of the normal people who want to kill and torture pedophiles? Do you tell *them* that only psychiatrists should make such judgments?

[Omnibenevolite @Omnibenevolite]

@kris_talks If it was, I kind of responded without sufficient context. My bad. But I hope this context was also clear to your interlocutor, otherwise they might be similarly confused.

[Omnibenevolite @Omnibenevolite]

@kris_talks Oh wait, was your main point that the non-naturalness of pedophilia wasn't evidence that pedophilia is not a sexuality?

[Omnibenevolite @Omnibenevolite]

@cutekitteh1111 @kris_talks @Autistic_Mind There are ways to prove the superiority of semantic categorizations, and I don't expect you actually did that. It would help to understand what you think qualified as proof in order to explain how it might not be proof.

@kris_talks It's a real hassle for me to get screenshots

[Omnibenevolite @Omnibenevolite]

Truth is, I am on everyone's side, and we are all on each other's side, and we're just failing to communicate it. But I think your dissenting framing of things is much more needed in our society, which makes me appreciate it much more.

[Omnibenevolite @Omnibenevolite]

@kris_talks But at the same time, the different "sides" in this have different interpretations of what each side is advocating for. And by saying I'm on your side, other people will think I'm siding with the things they also wrongly think you're siding with

[Omnibenevolite @Omnibenevolite]

@kris_talks part because the thing you're contesting is not the harmlessness of homosexuality. (2/2)

[Omnibenevolite @Omnibenevolite]

@kris_talks Like -- the way one of the conversations took place -- you kind of said that something being natural doesn't make it right, but specifically you said it in response to someone saying that homosexuality is natural, which kind of seems like the wrong objection to make on your (1/?)

[Omnibenevolite @Omnibenevolite]

@kris_talks It is unfortunate that I must convey my concerns in broken up tiny messages, as is the Twitter platform. There are many more conciliatory things that I'd like to say, so as to convey that I think I am more in agreement with the more central aspects of your side

[Omnibenevolite @Omnibenevolite]

@kris_talks You're having a very stressful conversation. I deeply appreciate your effort to do the right thing even when it is extremely hard, but you're making some serious mistakes in your communication, which I'm sure you would apologize for in a more freethinking environment.
