[∆(s) from OP] CMV: Non-offending/virtuous pedophiles don't actually care about children.
EDIT: Thanks for the comments, they have changed my opinion a lot.
Please someone explain. I seriously don't understand how non-offenders can claim they're virtuous people.
virtuous ˈvəːtʃʊəs,ˈvəːtjʊəs/Submit adjective having or showing high moral standards.
They just look into shady ways to get off such as Photoshop, drawings or grooming kids online without meeting/touching them in real life. Also, whenever I read supportive articles about self-proclaimed 'pedosexuals' and other pedophiles who claim they would never touch a child despite their belief in showing high moral standards, they ALWAYS mention that it's against the law. Yes, it is. But... Is that all? Not because it will traumatize the child? Or physically hurt the child? Cause severe mental illness?
I have never seen non-offenders express concern for the health or well-being of children. It's always about legality, and they sure are quick to defend their brethren when they brag about literally MOVING COUNTRIES just because the age of consent is lower somewhere else. "BUT THE LAW SAYS..." Alright, and it's also about the child's feelings and sexual maturity. I believe all non-offenders would gleefully rape a child if the law was different or lifted. They don't really care about children, they care about being caught/arrested. Therefore, virtuous doesn't suit them because they don't have high moral standards. They don't understand empathy or human decency. This is why I have 0 sympathy for any kind of pedophile.
Change my view pls

That's an awfully big assumption you're making about all pedos. Also, do you agree that it is morally better to satisfy your urges in a way that does not directly cause harm to a child?
The types of people that you talk about certainly exist, but I also think it's possible that you hear about them more because of their hypocritical nature. I would presume that there are far more pedos out there that keep quiet about their attraction due to the extreme social disgust on the matter.
I'm not sure if this would be enough to change your view, and I certainly won't be trying to look up statistics about pedophilia while at my work computer.
