Thoughtcrimes DON'T exist. Having a paraphilic disorder (provided of course that you don't act on it or indulge it and that you seek treatment for it) doesn't mean that you deserve to be fucking murdered or experience violence.
Predators are terrible, irredeemable people but not everyone who is capable of becoming a predator will or wants to be one. And this 'guilty until I decide they're innocent' bullshit needs to end.
And if you mean fucking fiction then you should just give up now because fiction doesn't have a legitimate or proven one-to-one parallel with reality and if you equate what someone does or doesn't enjoy or create in fiction to real-life predatory behavior you're beyond help.
Censorship of media will only put control over how the media is viewed, discussed and talked about in the hands of people who are comfortable committing crimes and give any insistence that something be kept secret or quiet a sense of legitimacy. If you want to stop predators from using media to groom or abuse their victims (which isn't a thing that's actually happening very often anyway but I digress), the best and dare I say ONLY way to do that is by making the media they might use to do so accessible to people who will healthily analyze and deconstruct it so that they can identify its themes and messages and teach others how to do the same.
Not to mention censorship is inevitably wielded by the oppressors in a given society as a weapon against the oppressed. If you make it okay to censor 'pedophilic' material and punish its creators, all that'll happen is media that the dominant socioeconomic ethnic group of the society you institute this policy in will label anything they don't like or feel threatened by as 'pedophilic.'
Look at the USA, and how in Florida, Ron DeSantis wants to give pedophiles the death penalty, but also wants to legally designate all public expressions of queer identity as pedophilic and predatory behavior. Why, you may ask? So he can get queer people arrested and/or killed.
Censorship is a bad policy, thoughtcrime isn't real, and even if what you were describing WAS actual pedophilia, as long as it's no-contact it's not illegal and doesn't justify the reaction you had.
Pedophile in my ask box. One to one fiction to reality obviously doesn't exist (except to violent people or people who cannot properly distinguish the difference), but people suffering from an attraction to children shouldn't be continuing the systemic sexualization of children and their social positions.
They should not be harboring that fantasy. Additionally you say "csa in fiction isn't being used to groom that often"
Why in god's name would you come to somebody's blog who has described that exact grooming as part of their csa experience? If you scroll this or my vent blog Startsurvivorthoughts you will see that I was specifically groomed with loli/sho. Why the fuck would the infrequency of an event make it any less important to talk about.
I have also met other people online claiming something similar happened to them in fandom spaces online.
Additionally conservatives that hate gays will always paint with broad strokes and pedophiles will keep attempting to align themselves with LGBTQ people, since the days of NAMBLA and "chickenhawks". A predilection towards children has nothing to do with sexual orientation or gender, as that changes based on the predator.
If you actually gave af about CSA survivors, ask yourself why you need to so vehemently defend those who continue the cycle of sexualization instead of those who have been profoundly hurt by it.
I find it so funny that you think my true concern about these materials is being overshadowed by my vent posts of "kill pedophiles" I wonder if a pedophile like ... Hurt me or something 🤔 do you think it's possible that a csa survivor might be angry???? When I thought there was no such thing as thoughtcrimes?
Lastly "thoughtcrimes" lol. Pedophilia can be self-contained but making/consuming csem aren't impulses. They are actions.
Anyway MAP to the thought dungeon for internet crimes.
