As a woman who spent a good chunk of her adult life looking like a child I had to deal with a lot of pedos on MySpace etc trying to get sick pictures from me. Most of them fucked off once I told them I was in my 20s... it's disturbing and I find the idea that someone can find childlike attributes attractive to be repulsive. It's not ok to simulate racism or bigotry for the pleasure of racists and bigots, why is it ok to simulate CP?
The women on the community in question don't even look "barely legal" but well over 20 in most cases. People are losing their minds over nothing.
So presumably you are repulsed by your partners right?
Like when did the conversation become purely about physical appearance, and instead of the actual moral implications of dating a literal child.
Do you not have to apply your reasoning to anyone who ever found you attractive?
As someone who was in the same shoes as the person you reacted to: I was absolutely repulsed. It's the main reason why I waited until my late thirties to get a partner for life.
When I got the slightest whiff of the men being with me because he liked that I was short / skinny / childlike that was the end of the relationship. It's not only superficial, but also highly questionable to find your partner attractive because of these traits.
That's absolutely nuts. You think it's akin to pedophilia to find an adult woman attractive. If only you ever actually read up on what exactly pedophilia is I think you would've saved yourself a lot of trouble. It is exclusively an attraction to children, it has absolutely nothing to do with being attracted to petite adult women.
Like can you explain what exactly is the moral delimma in finding an adult petite woman attractive?
It's superficial to find your partner attractive because of their traits? That makes absolutely no sense. Finding literally anyone in the world attrative is inherently superficial, that's how it works.
Yes as a survivor of abuse as a child I don't see the big deal with thru decision.
