abusive paraphilia - capacity for empathy or objective insight + anonymous echo chamber = ?

there's no doubt in my mind these people are either born wired that way or they're replaying their own horrorshow, and many of them honestly do believe that nauseating childlove bullshit they spew at each other to justify destroying someone's life before it's even started

it's a wrong that not even chemical castration can 100% fix, and it's genuinely sad how some offenders have literally begged for treatments like that to stop them from hurting other people. it's pretty obviously a mental illness that we don't know how to fix

oh also i think it may be literally illegal try to give psychiatric care to a pedophile without also reporting that person, so even if the guy does have a lucid moment and say "holy poo poo i really do like that maybe i should get help before i hurt somebody" there's nowhere he can turn

none of this justifies doing pedophile things and if you do these things you deserve to go into some kind of box forever to stop you from destroying anyone else's life

not sure if it's a good idea to engage, but

of all the (many, oh god, so loving many) failings modern occidental societies have wrt managing their mentally ill citizens, even though i understand on an intellectual level that it should be addressed clinically, it still warrants criminal sanctioning because loving kids are getting hosed, and that harm is perpetuated at least indirectly through passive consumption of kiddie porn, especially if there's cash involved

so far a ton of the people getting caught for child molestation and pornography don't appear to have mental illnesses, and often aren't even pedophiles.

you know all those creepy internet people who go "well i'm not a pedophile, i'm actually an ephebophile"? well they usually aren't pedophiles, they just decide to go after people who are way too young anyway, and trade child porn and even buy it. if they were actually pedophiles there'd at least be a thing wrong with them that would make their behavior make sense - instead they're pretty much just being evil scum intentionally. especially since the whole thing with being an ephebophile is that you're attracted to the same physical attributes regular adults have, but you're deciding you're only going to go after the lowest age ranges that can have that poo poo -it's blatant willingness to commit crimes.

it's like loudly proclaiming that you're not a murderer, you're an intentional manslaughterer or some poo poo

I just wanted a snappy response, ofc I don't want to imply that I think all child abusers are blameless victims of circumstance. I very much believe that some people do it consciously and maliciously. there's just a middle ground between "lock these people up forever in a place where they'll probably be murdered for what they did" and "let them go free because they're not responsible"

I think that society has a (completely understandable) reaction of horror and anger towards these people, but many of them can't control what they do. acknowledging this fact however, would force society to acknowledge that other people in prison may also need help, which would involve reconsidering the notion of "all people in prison must be criminals, otherwise they wouldn't be in prison"

Ok, here it is:
CAVEAT: KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS PLAN COULD TOTALLY FAIL
We are thinking about creating a cryptocurrency and making it exchangeable (backed) by those shares of reddit, and then distributing the currency to the community. The investors have explicitly agreed to this in their investment terms.
Nothing like this has ever been done before. Basically we have to nail down how to do each step correctly (it is technically, legally, and financially complex), though in our brief consultation with an ex-SEC lawyer, he stated he could find nothing illegal about this plan. Nevertheless, there are something like 30 different things we have to pull off to make this work, so we're going to try.
(Also, I know this totally contradicts what I said over here but that was before Sam proposed this plan to me, and the idea of being able to distribute ownership of reddit back to the community - a long-held dream of many of us, frankly - is important enough to try and do this)
Again, we want to emphasize that this plan is in its earliest stages right now and could totally fail (if it does, we will find another way to get the shares to the community somehow), but we are going to try it because... well, because we are reddit and we do these kinds of things.

^^ some important reddit dude

no way in hell this will be built on bitcoin, in fact im p sure they'll have to run the whole thing internally

honestly i hope it works, an actual equity backed cryptopog thing could work and it'll be a jarring jimmy rustling for the bitcoiners

why in the world does RedditCoin need blockchain tech to function at all.

just make a currency, give it out for whatever reasons, allow people to trade between each other, your "private key" is just your reddit login information

I predict a lot of whining about doing it on a bitcoin side chain or with colored coins will happen, if it ends up being an alt coin or even just a centralized DB so there's no need to create a mining arms race.
