I definitely understand what you're saying, but there have to be people who find children attractive but don't act on it so consent isn't really the issue there, but we still have the problem of how society sees those people and the possibility of the mental anguish those people must feel. I can't imagine what it must feel like to be "the worst human trash in the history of the world" while also not behaving in that way. :(

I guess it's more of a "them" problem as they aren't acting on their attractions, maybe society shouldn't be involved in that one? I don't know... It just bothers me when I see that kind of hatred when there's no way 100% of pedophiles actually act on their attractions.
