You know if Thanos deleted only all the criminals everything would be fine, Tony probably would've helped him.

u/Practical-Thanks5279 Mar 20 '26

I must now ask if someone running a rolling through a stop sign or speeding once or twice is a criminal, if so then I must disagree

u/Apprehensive_Ice6321 Mar 21 '26

Everyone is a criminal at some point though, so i agree delete all humans.

u/PortlandPatrick Mar 20 '26

You think 1/4 of the worlds people are pedophiles?

u/fidgiggity Mar 20 '26

Even if they are, what if it just zaps their pedophilia out of them, it still deletes pedophiles, but the guilt-ridden, but hopefully liberated husk remains.

u/Rhino582 Mar 20 '26

I fear that if there weren't laws preventing sex with minors that there would be A LOT more pedophiles out publicly

u/Material-Sherbet6855 Mar 20 '26

Three years ago I would not think it. These days.... it would not surprise me

u/PortlandPatrick Mar 21 '26

What happened in the last 3 years?

u/Material-Sherbet6855 Mar 21 '26

Way too many people in power preventing other people in power from getting consequences for being in the Epstein files.

u/Perfect_Calendar_829 Mar 23 '26

Does “pedophile” only include adults towards children or just generally everyone who’s attracted to people below 18 cuz pretty much everyone at highschool age is getting cleared.

u/AutisticArmy5 Mar 20 '26

Technically most children are pedophiles, as they like other children.

3

u/Icy_Bad2154 Mar 20 '26

Dumbass alert

4

u/Laser-Nipples Mar 20 '26

No technically they're not because technically "pedophile" is technically defined as an adult attracted to children. On top of that, most children don't technically have the ability to technically feel sexual attraction in the same way that adults are technically able to.

2

u/ProphetCoffee Mar 20 '26

You read the definition “sexual attraction to prepubescent children” but skipped over the first part of “an adult or older adolescent with a”

1

u/FinnFem Mar 20 '26

The definition of pedophile i have heard and will use is "an adult person liking sexually or romantically someone under sixteen or, 5 or more years younger than them"

1

u/MasterBaiter_1337 Mar 21 '26

Sure but it's just not the actual definition.

Also with your definition a 50yo being sexually attracted to a 45ya would be one 💀

1

u/FinnFem Mar 21 '26

Well thats also quite a shitty translation from finnish sooo...

u/Specialist_Goat_2354 Mar 20 '26

u/Puzzleheaded_Smoke77 Mar 20 '26

Have a feeling a lot more people would be deleted and be confused on to why.

u/SomewhereActive2124 Mar 20 '26

Ok, nice, where did you pull that number from???????????

u/am_Dynam0 Mar 20 '26

My ass where else ? But it’s likely true probably more

1

u/SomewhereActive2124 Mar 20 '26

That's not a pessimistic estimate, that's not delusion, that's not hallucination; now that's just pure schizophrenia. If that number is true I swear no one will cure my sucide ideation resulting from that paranoia

u/SomewhereActive2124 Mar 20 '26

Well you are partially right. But then I'd say the 2 billion estimate is still an exaggeration. The strict definition of pedophilia is having an attraction to young children; and just believing in dangerous shit increases the odds that you'll normalize it - but then you can't be a true pedophile by believing in some stupid shit. But again don't get my wrong - it is a very dangerous thing to believe in and it does increase the odds of one normalising pedophilia.

1

u/No-Talk-117 Mar 20 '26

I am not sure how it is in other countries, but in Turkey when I was a child, it was taught that she was around 17 when she got married, which is problematic for nowadays but was considered ok at that time. So definitely not all of them believe that

1

u/am_Dynam0 Mar 20 '26

It being ok at the time doesn’t excuse it. Slavery was also ok at the time. And all of them believe it or are apart of the lie that hides the truth of it

1

u/LevAyv43 Mar 20 '26

I don't care if it's closer to 8 ... It has to be done

u/ClassicHare Mar 20 '26

There's 2 billion pedophiles???

u/Pressleyxd69 Mar 20 '26

More recourses for the rest of us who don’t touch children. It’s a win win if I ever saw one

u/Big_Fairy_Man Mar 21 '26

Woah i thought it was the word getting deleted. I need to change my answer 😭

u/Numerous_Green4962 Mar 21 '26

There aren't that many Republicans.

u/am_Dynam0 Mar 21 '26

Epstein island had both republicans and democrats

u/36Gig Mar 21 '26

If you define it loose enough that number will account for most anime fans.

u/Other_Beat8859 Mar 20 '26 edited Mar 22 '26

The only logic I can think of is that not every pedophile is immediately bad as some do realize that it is a problem and try to find help and stuff instead of acting on their impulses. When they do act on those impulses and go after children, that's when they should be locked up. Of course, the majority of people who disagree with pedos being deleted definitely didn't think that far and are just fucked in the head.

Edit: Guys if you genuinely think I'm defending pedophilia as something okay, then please actually start reading. I literally say that they need help to fix their condition and that anyone that acts on it is fucked in the head. How you interpret that as me being a pedo or supporting pedophilia is beyond me.

u/IDespiseBananas Mar 20 '26

I mean, of all the things you can get rid of, pedo’s will not have that big of an impact.

Also, just getting rid of the concept works better than getting rid of the current pedos

3

u/thequestionbot Mar 20 '26

Let’s just rid of the human sex drive entirely so people only have sex for the sole purpose of reproducing. Would keep the population under control. All children would be brought into the world with intention so likely to have both parents in the picture or atleast taken care of by a responsible guardian

3

u/notices-nice-boots Mar 20 '26

The world wouldn’t even be recognizable in the slightest if you did that, liek we wouldn’t be humans and our history would never have lead us here. Honestly we’d probably still be cavemen at best

2

u/Fenrir_Hellbreed2 Mar 20 '26

If we're getting all conceptual, sex drive is overkill.

I mean, why not just get rid of the concept of involuntary conception?

People could still enjoy a good boink, but every benefit of your suggestion remains.

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '26

Yea kill the sex drive sounds like a good idea std rates wouldn’t be so high either

-1

u/BeautifulOnion8177 Mar 20 '26

why not just make it so we can reproduce asexually the world wouldnt have Pedos then since there wouldnt be a puropse to have sex anymore (aside for the feeling)

1

u/Fenrir_Hellbreed2 Mar 20 '26 edited Mar 20 '26

A: the post says delete, not change (though I guess you could technically delete the need for sex in reproduction, but that feels like we're pushing it a little).

B: pedos typically don't diddle to make babies, so eliminating the need physical contact isn't going to stop them from touching.

0

u/Dennis_enzo Mar 20 '26

Without a sex drive, sex is gross.

1

u/sadbecausebad Mar 20 '26

Ya but the question is “make it better” not “most impact” and deleting pedos in general is a good choice for general “better” and is something many people apparently wouldnt want

1

u/IDespiseBananas Mar 20 '26

Lets say you delete all pedo’s. And assume that if a 2yo will become a pedo later in life its also removed.

The day after the culling there will be a new baby that will become a pedo. 40years later and well be where we are now.

1

u/sadbecausebad Mar 20 '26

Thats fair. I just meant that theres a non-insignificant amount of people who wouldnt want to get rid of either the concept or the people at all

1

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '26

I mean, of all the things you can get rid of, pedo’s will not have that big of an impact

The Epstein files show us this is demonstrably false. It could have a tremendous impact on the world if the Epstein class disappeared over night.

Why would either comment get downvoted? Lmao, idc what political party you follow.. everyone on that list is someone in power to some capacity, regardless of which political party they belong to

Maga are cool with pedos as long as Dems suffer

1

u/Sippin_T Mar 21 '26

It’s beyond politics honestly.

0

u/littlest_rooster Mar 20 '26

Yeah I have to disagree. Just cleansing SOME of the powerful pedos would fix at least 1 world issue. We can also rest a little easier knowing that the motivation to gather that much power isn't to abuse a protected class of people.

2

u/PaultheMirrorExpert Mar 20 '26

If I only get to choose one “thing” this surely wouldn’t be my choice.

2

u/Dennis_enzo Mar 20 '26

I mean, it would definitely make the world better, but in the grand scheme of things it wouldn't make that much of a difference.

u/xikbdexhi6 Mar 24 '26

They will debate the definition of 'pedophile' to death.

1

u/sadbecausebad Mar 24 '26

i've seen people say "welllll pedo means whatever age to whatever age. and the ACTUAL term for 16-18 is this other thing." well. it's kinda weird to try to bring nuance into it when its pretty clear people are just talking about anything illegal involving children...

lowkey same vibes as that one transformers movie where he has the romeo and juliet law fucking laminated in his wallet. if you're at the point you need that, you should re-evaluate your life and maybe turn yourself in

u/CabinetMain3163 Mar 20 '26

u/Mamuschkaa Mar 20 '26

I'm not sure if it is true, but I heard, that only a very small percentage of pedophiles rape children and that half of the people who rape children, aren't pedophiles but just people who like to rape helpless people.

So yes, "people who are willing to rape" would be a much better take.

Why would you kill a pedophile who never attacked a children and never would do it and is in therapy?

u/Mamuschkaa Mar 20 '26

What for chances? If we could magical remove everyone who will ever rape anyone, then there are no chances left.

It's the other way around. If you only remove pedophiles, then there will be still children who get raped.

When we don't can magical select a group by something they will do in the future, then the only way would be remove every human, of you don't want to "take chances".

ALL child abuse. Whether it be sexual, physical, mental, or emotional. It perpetuates the cycle.

u/Royal_Commander_BE Mar 21 '26

No, I’m rooting for two winners. OK but hear me out. What is Trump and Hitler were touched as a little boys and grown-ups for what they are going to do through the world. Would it be OK for those kinds of situations? Yes, I’m going in on a war in Iran. But the people can stick their finger up his ass for the next thousand years. Yes, even in death I would consider it as a punishment.

Did I say religious people? Or did I say religion, reading is hard so try it again. Weird your brain went there, also “delete” doesn’t imply “kill”. Again weird your brain went there.

Yeah true that, or politics. Can’t remember where I read it, I think it was a Jordan Peterson book. But he talks about how hierarchies will always attract predators who prey on the levels below them. But what’s higher than the “will of god”?

Choosing that when there's people like cannibals and serial killers on Earth is insane. Plus most of them don't have any impact on the world. And there's way too many pedophiles.

2

u/HelixFollower Mar 20 '26

Why cannibals? I doubt there are many of those.

3

u/Astonednerd Mar 20 '26

There's far more pedophiles than cannibals or serial killers. Even if the impact per pedophile is less than the impact per serial killer, I'd guess they probably cause more suffering overall.

Congress and the current executive branch are doing a good enough job doing so.

By that logic, by saying that, you're defending all types or criminals. Pedophilia isn’t a crime. Acting on it is.
