It’s certainly difficult to have a mature conversation about the actual mental illness and people not wanting to feel how they feel, and people who physically abuse children and consume CSAM.
The former should not be lumped in with the latter. That’s like me fantasizing about killing my boss, not actually committing homicide, and being lumped in with serial killers. One is thoughts and feelings, the other is actual action and acting on those feelings.
I have a crush on a married woman at my local market. I can feel how I feel as much as I want, knowing I can’t (or rather shouldn’t) act on those feelings.
