        Pedophiles are a minority of the child rapers, so that’s a stupid statement.

        Just read the DSM-V before commenting such bullshit.

            Oh, I’m so sorry, I just reread it and realized I misunderstood what you said.

            I noticed that I isolated the first part of your comment and overlooked the subordinating conditional clause below it, which led me to commit a straw man fallacy driven by a selection bias.

            That said, I have to point out that your initial statement still relied on a composition and a generalization fallacy —even though you didn’t explicitly claim that all pedophiles are offenders— by stating in a blanket way that all pedophiles should kill themselves due to the actions of a minority of them.

            I think this mutual oversight was the root of the misunderstanding, and again, I apologize for my part in it.

            I hope this helps both of us have better interactions in the future.

          wait what? I am aware that most pedos do not offend, but this is the first time Im hearing that most offenders are not pedos.

            Yeah, it’s weird. AFAIK, it’s apparently because most offenders just want to feel powerful even if they don’t feel attracted to their victims.
