Neutrality is the art of understanding subjectivity.
To
an extent heterosexuality/homosexuality extend beyond a common fetish
in that they focus around an attraction to a specific gender rather
than a fixation on various acts/objects/whatever but irregardless the
general concept remains the same. Homosexuality in the raw nature of
"being attracted to X" is no different than pedophilia, and where it
differs is that pedophilia commonly involves the act of manipulation.
Although arguably most relationships homosexual/heterosexual or
otherwise can involve similar manipulation and considering pedophilia
extends anywhere from toddlers (3-4) to 13 (sometimes higher, usually
up to 16 or in some cases 17) it's pretty hard to definitively say at
what age a person is capable of making informed decisions. (hence
differing "Age of consent" in varying countries)
Fetish has negative connotations and I don't mean it the way you're interpreting it.
If a word has negative connotations then don't use it. Theasauruses are just a google away.
You're ignoring the issue of informed consent and continuing to equate pedophilia with child molestation. This, combined with your onbonxious pseudointellectualism, is all the argument against you that I need.
I'm not trying to equate pedophilia with child molestation, in fact I'm trying to express the idea that the sexual attraction to children is no more inherently wrong than homosexuality. The manipulation element stems from past experiences as well as the idea that children cannot make informed decisions. (The question is, what is the cut off age? We're still wrestling with that as society)
If you cannot see the obvious parallels between anti-pedophelia in modern society and darth's original anti-homosexual comment then you have no place in this discussion.
(And yes I'm being all psuedointellectualisticism, it makes it easier to avoid becoming opinionated either way)
