Okay, when I logged on to Twitter this week, I never expected to see this:
Yup, that's USA Today basically giving the green light to pedophilia.
Oh look, they even wrote an entire article about it:
I'm going to be honest: I'm all for the whole "conspiracy theories are just spoilers" talking point. I really am. But when it comes to pedophilia, though I've been very outspoken at the fact that it will soon make up one of the letters in the ever-expanding gay acronym, I just can't do it.
Talking about it in the future tense was one thing, but now that we are starting to see it from mainstream outlets, it's a bit strange.
But I guess, what were we to expect?
Here's a tad bit from the USA Today article:
One of the most significant findings is that scientists who study the disorder say pedophilia is determined in the womb, though environmental factors may influence whether someone acts on an urge to abuse…
Not all people who sexually abuse children are pedophiles. Some pedophiles never abuse children, experts say, and some people who sexually abuse children do not sexually prefer them, but use them as a surrogate for an adult partner. They may be disinhibited and anti-social, with impulse control problems.
And more from the deleted Twitter thread:
Got that?
Pedophiles are people too!! They're just "born that way"!
Don't be insensitive!
Why is USA Today still calling these people "pedophiles," anyways?
I believe the correct term is "Minor Attracted People."
Sorry, I shouldn't even joke about this.
But one last thing before I go. I thought this was interesting:
