i dislike that the "kill your local [paraphile]" sentiment is still so prevalent even in leftist & queer spaces. remember that paraphilias do not make someone a bad person, they do not make someone a predator, nor do they make someone deserving of violence. try not to lose hope in a future where we are accepted as we are, keep advocating and be loud & proud. theres so much joy & love to be shared in this community, and no bigot can take that away from us. :-)

Its child predator, not pedophile.

It's beastiality, not zoophilia.

Its corpse desecration, not necrophile.

"You're being pedantic!" People tell me, even those within mental health movements themselves.

So is it pedantic when people point out that narcissistic is not the same as "egotistical/self-absorbed/emotionally abusive"?

Is it pedantic when people point out that psycho, psychopath, and sociopath aren't the same thing as "criminal/abuser"?

Is it pedantic when people point out that schizophrenic, psychosis, and delusional aren't the same as "quirky/lying to oneself"?

Is it pedantic when people point out that ADHD and autism are not the same as "being quirky"?

Is it pedantic when people point out that low/no empathy/sympathy is not the same thing as "being cruel"?

Is it pedantic? Or are you just unwilling to admit that paraphilic disorders are stigmatized, and that thousands of non-offending paraphiles get demonized by your statements?

Is it pedantic? Or are you just unwilling to recognize that most predators do not have para disorders [link], and that even those who do are predatory because they're bad people, not because of their condition?

When will ya'll admit that you're unwilling to give up the concept of an "evil disorder"?

people who hate paras are so fucking embarrassing it ain't even funny

oh yea? you're "protecting" children? hows bitching on reddit helping a single victim out there. Like the moment you equate real life children suffering to "fictional children" is the moment you fully lost the fucking plot. It's such a slap in the fucking face to every goddamn victim out there.

Yea I'm sure that make-believe victim truly is just so much more important than being fucking normal and doing anything to help actual victims in the real world. sure it's worth spreading misinfo about kink & paras completely drowning out actual abuse victims' stories.

genuinely just people who wanna use our trauma as an excuse to go after everything they find is too weird and it's fucking gross.

It’s ableist to use the word “pedophile” interchangeably with "abuser" (or whatever).

Pedophilia is an actual mental illness. And just because someone has it does not make them a bad person. It is, by definition, thoughts and feelings. And thoughts and feelings do not automatically equal action. To imply or explicitly say or act like they do is ableist.

When you’re talking about people who harm children, call them what they are - abusers, predators, etc. And stop vilifying a mental illness.

i'm just so sick of sanism towards people with personality disorders and paraphilic disorders

i see this shit EVERYWHERE. i can't do anything online without stumbling across it at least once a day

Saneism against pwPDs and paraphiles is saneism.

Russian law

This is ableism, transphobia, exorsexism, and varsexism.

Holy shit. I cannot believe this. So much is wrong with this, where do I even begin?

The people they want to ban from driving include:

-Deaf and HOH people. (Literally for what purpose? Because they may not be able to hear honking and police sirens? Well, just being observant of surroundings is all that's really necessary, you don't have to hear to be a safe driver!)

-People with colorblindness (not all forms of colorblindness make it impossible to tell a red light vs green light!)

-People with epilepsy. (Plenty of epileptics are not a danger behind the wheel!)

-People with paraphilic disorders. (I cannot even concieve of a possible connection. It's just stereotyping us as dangerous individuals.)

-Schizospecs. (Literally just the stereotype that a schizospec person becomes dangerous when having an episode, that is not the case for a majority of them.)

-People with personality disorders (again, for what purpose? Just stereotyping us as dangerous?)

-People with behavioral disorders (Like with para disorders and personality disorders, its just again, another stereotype!)

-People with neurodevelopmental disabilities (not all neurodevelopmental disabilities impair ability to drive!)

-Binary trans people, non-binary people, and other people with gender incongruence. (This has to be the most absurd one, in what way could having a queer gender identity possibly correlate with driving?)

TW TALKS OF A PARAPHILE COMMITTING SUICIDE. PLEASE DONT PRESS KEEP READING IF THIS TRIGGERS YOU.

I'll never forget an anti-contact paraphile on Reddit who made a post about how they were trying to get help from a therapist and guess what the therapist did? They reported them to the police despite the fact that the person suffering from a paraphile didn't hurt anyone and the therapist didn't believe them and the investigators found no evidence of a crime, but the investigators refused to close the case. Which caused him to be evicted from his apartment and ostracized by his job and family.

And he eventually ended his life over it.

This is why stigmatizing paraphiles is harmful. We should get paraphiles help, coping mechanisms, and healthy outlets.

[this-is-anti-masculinity]

Usually I wouldn't answer asks like this, but I'm getting tired of receiving submissions along these lines "calling out" paraphiles.

This user is literally a transmasc with a forcefem & detransitioning kink. Yeah, its shitty that they(? pronouns are not specified in the pinned) don't properly tag their content. It sucks to come across content you find distressing to see. But it's not transandrophobic to have a paraphilia. Just block the account and move on if you don't want to see untagged content.

Stop submitting things onto my account to kinkshame.
