i think you should understand that as a researcher, you're in a privileged position not just compared to childlovers, but also over us. the results of research, and what is allowed to be researched, are factors that determine what the lives of childlovers broadly will entail. and whether some childlovers will live at all, in the case of suicides/hate-motivated murders of us. in response to another of your comments, i sent you a non-representative survey on suicidality among childloving youth. your own paper is about mental well-being. i think you are capable of understanding the basic conditions we are in currently. why, then, the hostility in some of your interactions with us? why antagonize a childlover who would clearly be harmed and distressed by it? one intuitive possible answer for many of us who are not self-rejecting is that you're another self-interested pseud who internally believes we're subhuman. personally i'd like to think that's not true. but it can be hard to tell in many cases, and is in this one too. when considering your social position in relation to ours, it should be understandable that aggression from you is not only more distressing than aggression from non-researchers, but also embodies/personifies all the oppressive effects of current academia broadly - you being basically a faceless academic to us. not antagonizing us is the least you could do. it's not the most though, as even then you'd still not be avoiding the harms committed by virtue of being a conformist researcher in current society. |
