So i've been watching the youtuber mrgirl recently and I think it's good that he's pushing boundaries by trying to create more empathy for demonized groups like Pedophiles.
But I'm torn on what is the appropriate perspective to have towards pedophiles. On the one hand I think it's possible to transcend pedophilia like it's a mental disorder, but there may be many people who never get that chance in this life time so they will be stuck with sexual attraction to children.
Isn't it true to say that pedophilia is actually all good, because reality allows and accepts pedophilia? So from the highest truth there is literally nothing wrong with pedophilia? But at the same time I could not handle if I had kids and they were being sexually abused, but maybe this is my own judgment and projection?
It seems like the appropriate response is to accept pedophiles and let them express their desires, but not through actual interaction with children but maybe only fantasy or virtual reality or something? But doesn't this perspective still contain some demonization of pedophiles?
I just can't get past the perspective that pedophilia is harmful to society/children, but this seems to contradict the truth that reality is all good.
