just thought i might give my opinion seeing as pedophilia is such a touchy subject on this platform and anything that might remotely seem like a justification for pedophilia gets pigeonholed or axed  people suffering from ocd with themes of pedophilia are usually afraid of associating with children often even avoiding them while pedophiles will actively seek out children to prey upon and have their way pocd isn’t an easy subject to talk about and i hope that this meme sheds more light on the theme and that not all people who have terrible thoughts of children want to actively enact upon those thoughts  i think it was anthony mackie who said something along the lines of “your first racist thought doesn’t make you a racist your second and every racist thought from there on makes you a racist” such a principle might allow for people to be more open about talking through these iffy subjects with openness and empathy and that not all people who simply have these horrible thoughts are monsters i think that that same principle applies to people who are suffering from ocd with themes of pedophilia it’s one of the most difficult subtypes to work with considering how taboo the mere thought of having such thoughts can be — most people suffering from it don’t seek help as they often feel too remorseful ashamed or guilty to do so despite never wanting to cause any harm to any child i hope we can all find peace through and through with whatever ocd we suffer from
