most pedophiles wouldn’t actually touch a real child anyways because they understand how fragile they are and that they can’t really consent and things like that :c someone with a blonde fetish isn’t automatically gonna go rape blondes, it’s the sameExactly this is what i mean. People need to know the difference and i think people are just seeing this as “omg men who like girls/women who look young are pedophiles and all pedophiles are child rapists” It just all seems really misinformed and i think that part of the topic is being overlooked because people are really really concerned about lolita being percieved as a fetish.. even though thats been an issue for ages.

THIS. THIS. THIS. SO MUCH.
Being attracted to children, or animals, or anything like that is not bad. Acting on it is. Just like how, as soda-float said, “someone with a blonde fetish isn’t automatically gonna go rape blondes.” There’s nothing wrong with being attracted to something. The problem is when your attraction leads to you hurting non-consenting people/animals.
