Both are defective, both should be criminalized. He's not wrong.

It’s antisemetic to oppose pedophilia.

Yeah, it goes both ways. Gays recruit children so they're the same thing really.

His full comment is the opposite of based: https://www.reveddit.com/v/worldnews/comments/3d6q9m/germany_encourages_pedophilies_to_sign_up_for/ct2muzq/?context=999

In case the link doesn't work, here's what he wrote:

Hey, I'm a Canadian actor and I thought I'd chime in.

I recently did a show in which I played a pedophile, and did a significant amount of research (clinical studies mind you, not the "method" stuff) on the disorder and how it's perceived in the media. In the end the role completely changed the way I look at pedophilia and has made me much more sympathetic to anyone who is born with those urges.

From a biological standpoint it's no different than being gay - a small mutation in the genome that defines our sexual preferences. Depending on what area of the world you were born and what time, it also may have been a perfectly acceptable thing to act on those urges. Now, we all know that taking advantage of minors is wrong. Disgusting and vile, even. But with the exception of Germany we are going about it completely COMPLETELY the wrong way. It's like we having learned anything by studying homosexuality - we're talking about exploring the same "cures" to pedophilia as we were about homosexuality 20 years ago, a la conversion therapy and whatnot.

As a part of my research I discovered that these people have literally nowhere to turn, even non-offending pedophiles. They cannot seek treatment in most parts of the word because the therapist or psychiatrist would be legally required to report any individuals they suspected would pose a threat to minors.

On message boards and social media I see the same defence time and time again - "what if it was your daughter?" Well, I take their point but would like to ask, "what if it was your child who came to you and confessed to being a pedophile?"

The study I read suggested that as many as 1% of the population may have some degree of pedophilic tendencies. If this is true, I certainly hope that the rest of the world follows Germany's lead.

TL;DR: Actor played a pedophile for a TV show, did research, discovered being a pedophile not so different from being gay. Everyone deserves sympathy. Not black-and-white.

EDIT: So my first gold was a sympathetic post towards pedophiles, AMAZING! Thank you for the gold. Honestly, it goes to show that Reddit is capable of tremendous compassion. To everyone who came forward in the thread, I admire your courage and I wish you the best. I'm in no position to provide any guidance or advice of any sort, but I encourage you to read this article I stumbled upon while doing research for my role.

To people downvoting, I encourage you to participate in the discussion instead of simply clicking a button. I hope you remember downvotes should only be given for comments that don't contribute to the discussion, and you shouldn't use it as a means to voice your disagreement.

~~~

tl;dr: he apparently learned through his (((research))) that pedos and fags are just born that way, so he wants pedos to get help to cure them of their condition similar to how Germany has been helping them.

To be fair, people hate pedophiles so much that they're willing to bypass due process. And with a hostile media and government, the mere accusation becomes a potent weapon.

Figured as much

He's not wrong. But being gay is.


Just to be clear, he's not normalizing pedophilia is he? This is Clownworld, after all.

I assume he is, being in Hollywood and what not. I believe the irony of the comedy is what most find funny and unintentionally based.

Meanwhile libfags are like, “That’swhat we’ve been saying!”

LOL. When you speak the truth, expect to invoke the mob. He's completely fucking right in this case, because both are the result of mental insanity. Because of this quote, however, people are going to get hung up on the scale of the two, and ignore that he was speaking the obvious.

Is China veering from Authoritarian Left to Authoritarian Right as we speak?

As pointed out by oyvey, this is just another pedo Sympathizer produced by Hollywood.

While totally correct He argues it from a normalization standpoint so deserves castration then a rope.
