But .....

The problem is that they're unable to view the world in the way that we do.

Guess what, the very same might be said about paedophiles.

To these people, there is no such thing as loving children.

Hardly, to most their "loving" does not include a sexual aspect - simple as that.

They are 100% under the impression that by say things like "Little girls are the absolute pinnacle of creation and every fiber of my being burns with love for them." we actually mean "I am a horrible rape monster who only exists to tourture innocence".

Well, the argument that "Little girls are the absolute pinnacle of creation" might be made but it might need a lot of faith to believe this when the origins of creation are so widely disputed, many other things might claim the title and the point might be made that children are actually a transient form of life much like pupae so the pinnacle is always in danger of collapsing - not that transient things cannot be beautiful because in many cases they can and are.

Note, I do actually see young girls much like yourself but I have probably plenty of other delusions also so will not insist my views are correct.

It's all code with them. By one thing, we actually mean another and they can tell by some magical gut feeling that they pass off by saying we suffer from "cognative distortions" and are mentally ill. They also tend to try to encourage us to commit suicide and threaten us with violence. By their own standards, they believe the "mentally ill" should be wiped out.

What was that about cognative distortions again?

Although there is a large problem with how paedophilia is perceived there are many who do not hold the established view so it might be best to have some respect for them rather than include them in the unthinking masses.

Gut feeling - Pinnacle of Creation? Resemblance?

Either way, their world is black and white. You're one thing or another. I personally would be suprised if there were any hope for not only a change of heart, but simple an open dialog and an attempted understanding from such people, but, for some reason, even attempting to understand makes you a traitor to the antis because it shows a fading of blind hate.

It's fine if most disagree, but for me it's hard to hold animosity toward them because they're only human. Humans do this all the time to each other and to expect anything different is wishing for a miracle. I understand that most of society is against people like us, but that's just the time we live in. In every single time to follow there will a basic, primordial facet of humanity to finally emerge from the dark only to be driven back by those too stubborn to realize that this is what we've been all along. Until the day the universe stops, there will be suppression of basic parts of human nature, but this in no means makes it not worth fighting for.

I think there is as much black-and-white thinking here on GC as elsewhere. I am apparently labelled an "anti" for expressing my views. All non-paedophiles are esseentially "antis" it seems and it might be convenient to see things this way but all it does is make the opposition to paedophilia seem larger than it is - it is large enough already.
