Original thread
After Glee star Mark Salling was caught child pornography (He is currently on trial, pleading innocent, and facing up to 20 years), Darienne made a joke on Facebook about it.
The post is gone now, but if I remember right, it said something along the lines of getting pigtails if that's what he's into. Needless to say, https://45.media.tumblr.com/04d8e37d84a805222a6e35fa0dd98619/tumblr_n2m7za1cBi1qzqtn5o1_500.gif
The hivemind dives into the classic debate of Humor Vs. Political Correctness. What do the legendary messes of /r/RPDRDRAMA have to say?
In the Gold Bar, /u/Salchicha is not having any nasty stereotypes of pedophiles being perpetuated on and LGBT sub.
"What an ignorant statement coming from an LGBT sub. Most pedophiles are not child molesters or monsters. They know their feelings are wrong but they can't help it, and the majority of them don't act on it. No pedophile WANTS to be attracted to children. We never hear about non-predator pedophiles because "coming out" would literally ruin their lives.
I'm not saying being a pedophile is just like being homosexual, but they are similar in the way that the person is attracted to something that is considered wrong, and they can do nothing to change it. I know this opinion is controversial, but I feel sympathetic towards the otherwise normal people who carry that burden and would never abuse a child.
And before anyone asks, I am predominately attracted to older men in their 30's and over. And I am not saying we should be ok with pedophiles. It's just something to think about." (full thread)

"This concerns me even more"
/u/serialflamingo is not having any of that.
"And using the "oh but people think gays are weird, so we should understand" argument to do it.
I've seen that used to defend a lot of things on this sub, but paedophilia really takes the cake."
Meanwhile, /u/LuckyWriter and /u/Gameofthorns8 battle it out over the difference between pedophilia and homosexuality
"No - that is not an opinion. If it's wrong or right is the opinion. You can't say "they can't consent so it's wrong!" that's an opinion. Because a bigot can turn around and say "two men being together is against God so it's wrong!" that's also an opinion. Do you understand?" - /u/LuckyWriter
" No, it is not an opinion. It has been proven by science that children lack the development of frontal lobes. There is a reason why most children who are sexually harassed by adults suffer from it for many years. There is a reason why most children are pressured or just plain raped by adults. They are not able to consent." - /u/Gameofthorns8
" ...you're clearly not able to understand anything."
"You are attacking me because you feel like your argument is falling short. It's not me that is thinking it's wrong but the fact that children and animals and YES mentally challenged people can't consent to adults who are able to use their full frontal lobe capacity. These are facts."
What does controversial shitlord /u/JambeardReborn have to say for himself?
I weigh in with my expert opinion on pedophilia
"The article says something like thousands of images of "significantly younger than 15 or 16" on his computer. So not like the "oh whatever" kind of pedophilia, but like the "oh that's actually kinda fucked up" kind."
When asked, "why are any and all discussions concerning social issues dubbed "tumblr" jw" by /u/pukerock
"Because "is pedophilia bad??" isn't really a conversation that needs to be had, especially not on some random fucking subreddit. But people have no friends and lots of shit to say, myself included"
Now, I don't remember where it is or what thread, but I remember one use who claimed to have been abused as a child (so obviously totally unbiased) who did not think that this was something to joke about. As the comedy expert I am, I informed them they were wrong and stupid. They proceeded to argue with me, and at some point I told them that they deserved it. Yeah, idk what the context was. My personal challenge to all of you, is to find that post. I will give reddit gold to the first person to post that thread if you can find it. Good luck, and may the most petty woman, WIN!
