Re: TVtropes article on paedo.

Thank you for sharing this with us, Cirk. It's certainly far more open-minded than the typical drivel about pedophilia that we see in both those fictitious cop shows on TV and the reports in the media, including Oprah, Montell, and the rest of those lurid talk shows. Of course, the article never considers that pedos and kids can have mutually beneficial relationships with each other; the author just seems to assume that if pedos did act upon their feelings with a willing youth then this would indeed result in harm. We have a way to go before society at large views children and teens as capable of consenting to romantic relationships with adults, but this article was nevertheless a step in the right direction regarding the vast difference between pedos in reality and how they are most often depicted in fiction and the media. This strongly suggests that there is hope for the future. I was also pleasantly surprised that the article acknowledged the difference between pedophilia and ephebophilia, something the media at large seldom does. Now, if only such articles would recognize the reality of the youth liberation movement...
