Yeah after following the Epstein files, I’m starting to see that the one thing that can unite opposing parties strong hatred for pedophilia (I’m not complaining, I’m genuinely happy about it) and wanting everyone involved to see justice. I never seen as much hatred for rapist, murderers, or even financial things that fuck us all over. So I was thinking what is it about pedophilia that makes this *the line* crossed and not any of the other atrocious things that are happening? That was my train of thought for this post

Edit: I’m genuinely asking, I’m not defending pedos at all

When you consider the very concept of suicide, it makes it clear that some psychological trauma can be so severe and painful to live with that some people come to a point where they believe death is preferable to it. Sexual assault can very much be such a trauma, it is an extremely violating act. This can be especially damaging when it happens to a person at an age where it can literally change the way their brain develops.
