Talk:Pedophile activism

Other disambiguation?

Can the use of this term refer to any kind of activism besides that which necessarily falls under or is described by the prefix 'pro' or 'anti'? Such as, activism which does not take a stance for or against it? Like, which deals with issues pertaining to it (such as psychological research) and trying to reflect it accurately, while neither promoting or condemning? Currently, people's relations to this issue seem to be very yes/no black and white stuff. That's something that's more appropriate for very focused issues, whereas this is one I think is broad enough that there may be more than two umbrellas for issues pertaining to it.

Well, "activism" is a term that roughly speaking means an attempt to bring about social or political change. So the concept you're describing wouldn't be activism per se, but rather just objective scientific practice. There are various journals that cover this type of research (for example Archives of Sexual Behavior or more broadly, the Journal of Psychiatric Practice). A good mental health researcher, after all, is after the truth, not a preconceived goal.Legitimus (talk) 12:29, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Jack just redirected this to pro-pedophile activism under the assumption that they're interchangable because 'all pro-pedophile actists are pedophiles'. I've brought this up on PAW, which this is part of. I put it back, this is ridiculous. Tyciol (talk) 03:49, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

So...you're admitting that you're a pedophile? GoatDoomOcculta (talk) 12:55, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

He is a pedophile and in fact his wikipedia account was yanked because of it AVKent882 (talk) 04:38, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
