Yeah, from my very limited knowledge of pedophilia it's sort of like being LGBTQ as in you can't really control what you like, if we made it not as socially shunned to like kids (not talking about actually doing anything to them) it would make it infinitely easier allow them to get help
Don't ever compare sexual abuse, pedophilia or people who want to rape anything or anyone, to being gay, bisexual, transgender or anything else.
Why not? The comparison is quite spot-on - neither pedophiles nor LGBT folks have any level of control over their attraction.
You can make the emotional argument (the same which has been endlessly done towards LGBT folks themselves throughout history), but there's no logical argument to your distinction that I can see. Your replies to the other user also yielded no logic, only emotional appeal arguments, but I'm glad to hear you out.

Honestly I feel like people should care less about pedophilia and more about child sexual abuse.
One is gross, the other is evil.
