there's something about it being a child that is necessary, and the person should be treated with contempt.
Don't you think that the "addiction" argument comes in here?
Are people wildly gooning to awful adult porn tendencies toward sex not similarly deranged?
I don't mean to say these are similar in extent of given paraphilic tendencies, just that, necessarily:
1. The consequences may be bad or worse, depending on the given case;
2. The root cause may be bad or worse, in either case;
3. It is hard to distinguish whether sexual desire causes addiction to porn;
4. Porn enables gateways into addiction to exploring more and more paraphilias;
5. It is ultimately fruitless to specify it clinically unless we're actually conducting medical inquiry into a specific case.
Overall, I think it makes sense that addiction simply develops so suddenly that the given object of desire becomes undeterminable for a non-professional case-study.
In actuality, studying the example of a given paraphilic subject will tell you how certain ideas develop a narrative about pedophilia, in this case, being in a way not much less of a "fetishized object of perversion", nor more a "narrative", but rather a "special kind of disorder". This than would then concretely display that an examination of the individual's tendencies must be performed on the grounds that the subject is willing to be researched and honest as to how the addiction really started.
Here? We have none of that. We just have the public evidence of all the possible connections leading up to some kind of crescent spin across the table, bouncing off to continue its journey into the needles attentivity of it spinning around and across the floor of: "why would I even find an excuse to care about how it all developed, if I am simply so much different and polished with platitudes towards children, as they are faithfully genuine and honorable to me; I would not hurt my own misconceptions, so I'd rather partake in those that clearly display perversions and actions that clearly shouldn't be present either to the public eye or in the private bedroom".
