I've got as much anger against pedophiles and those who hurt children as anyone, but that heartfelt post more than anything else has stuck with me any time this issue comes up. |
While I'm loathe to enter this discussion, I feel like that guy probably needed to get to a therapist instead of acting out on his impulses in
SL. If he recognizes his feelings and it makes him hate himself, he needs professional help before the day that he eventually acts on his desire for children. I feel for him, I really do. But if the day comes that he can't help himself and he does physically act out his desires with a child, he will hate himself even more.
I don't want to censor what people do in
SL, but pedophilia is a really slippery slope and I don't think him using
SL as an outlet was such a good idea. That's just my humble opinion.
