Pediophobia

Pedophobia refers to discrimination, disgust, and despise against pedophiles (pedosexual).

There are various theories about the age at which a child is considered a child,[1][2] but discrimination against pedophiles generally includes discrimination against Lolita complex, hebephilia, and pedophilia(pedosexual).

Summary

[edit]

Activities performed by anti-pedophile vigilante groups have included harassment, including against families of people accused of crimes as well as people wrongly accused, doxing, blackmailing and physical attacks, with some people being killed or having died by suicide after being accused, for which reasons such groups have been widely condemned by law-enforcement and government bodies.[3][4][5][6][7]

PedoHelp, a support project that provides information about pedophilia, explains that pedophiles are never monsters or abusers, but people who need help.[8][9]

In 2012, Russian neo-Nazi Maxim Martsinkevich launched the Occupy Pedophilia project, in which neo-Nazi vigilantes would pose as young boys on the internet in order to lure adult men, who would then be made to indicate their identity and address in front of cameras. In some instances, vigilantes would write "Fuck LGBT" or draw the rainbow flag on the foreheads of their targets, who would sometimes also be shouted at, slapped, have their heads shaved or be forced to drink urine, among other forms of torture. Occupy pedophilia often conflated homosexuality with pedophilia.[10]

Social context

[edit]

The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems of the WHO and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) define pedophilia as a mental disorder and not as a sexuality or minority.[11][12]

Pedophilia is an easy target for intense anger, fear, and rejection, and is easily seen as evil or a sin by the world.[13] It is considered to be one of the most social stigmas of all mental disorders.[14] People with pedophilia who insist on not having sexual contact with children also suffer from anguish and anxiety, and in some cases contemplate self-loathing and suicide.[15] Studies have shown that about 46% of pedophiles have considered suicide because of their sexual interests.[14]

[edit]

In the U.S., the age of consent for sexual Age of consentintercourse varies from state to state to 16~18 years. As a result, romance between minors and adults is effectively illegal.

Some countries, such as South Korea, Indonesia, and Kazakhstan, as well as some states in the United States, have passed laws requiring the chemical or surgical castration of pedophiles.[16][17][18][19]

In 1998, three psychologists published a paper in the Psychological Bulletin, a journal of the American Psychological Association (APA), stating that "underage sexual activity with adults is not necessarily harmful, and it is necessary to distinguish between coercive and coercive behaviors and those that are not." In response, both houses of the United States Congress passed resolutions strongly condemning the paper, and University of Michigan professor Brian Kim Butler complained about the Congress's response.[20]
