There are no thought crimes.
If your outward behavior hasn't changed to make them uncomfortable, you're beating yourself up over nothing, comrade
As a supporter I have to disagree
But seriously I do feel like it's creepy, it's only my subjective experience and I don't necessarily feel guilty about it but I do feel wierd and uncomfortable
I don't think we need to jump to extremes to make a point (pedophilia vs an intense crush). I also think that by centering pedophilia outright, you are not going to stimulate any sort of quality discussion on the topic. Anytime it's brought up it'll just be an anti-pedo hate sesh, which I'm ok with, but it's not quality.
I appreciate the feedback.
It's not a thought crime, it's an unhealthy pattern of thought. There's no need to be about it
There’s nothing unhealthy about it unless you’re mentally distressed about the sheer act of being attracted to someone or acting impulsively. That’s a whole different issue. Healthy people can fantasize about sex and a future with some stranger and move on with their day without disturbing anyone or themselves
The person I was responding to brought up pedophilia. I was talking about that, hence the second emoji.
