Yes you were ignorant about the issue and you have the media to thank for that. The only 'pedophile' cases you see on the news are the ones where children have been kidnapped, raped for years and preferably murdered and eaten. That has nothing to do with pedophilia though. That's a rapist sociopath picking children because they are defenseless and easy targets, not because they are children.

somehow i don't think so, Havoc. i might be ignorant in some respects but i'm not a complete fucking moron. it's not quite as simple as you so often like to make out.
:
Again I believe that fear is the product of the media rather than the danger that pedophiles actually present. The notion that everyone who has feelings for young children is by definition a rapist who is out to kidnap them is completely absurd. Yet somehow it manifested itself as truth, probably because, as a parent, you're not going to take the gamble that a known pedophile has no bad intentions.

"i'm a paedophile which means i like to fantasize having sex with children, but don't worry! i would never really do such a thing, just masturbate over it."
can you really blame them for not wanting to take the 'gamble' with their children, Havoc? can you really blame them?
:
Also the entire fear campaign that's going on against child sexuality (especially in the US and UK) has made it virtually impossible for a pedophile to talk about their desires openly without being labeled as a sexual predator. And thus made it impossible to seek help, should they feel the need. In many cases it's impossible to even discuss the subject with an open mind, like I'm doing, without immediately being accused of being a pedophile.

i didn't know wanting to fuck kids made you a victim. if anything i thought it made you a potential perpetrator. it's no different from rape, because it's no different from rape. simples.
and Havoc about the whole 'being gay used to be illegal' argument, i don't see many kids protesting for the legalization of paedophilia/whatever, do you? also gay couples still have consenting sex (even when it was illegal), otherwise it's rape. since when do kids have sex? since when do they consent to it? in some abstract article clipped out of a shitty magazine? i have no pity for their fucking joke of a plight.
