I think the fucked up part is that they aren't really "true" pedophiles. I think it's simply the power and being able to get away with something so henious that they are into. The Trump letter to Epstein reinforced this belief for me.
Well, some of them definitely are. There were girls as young as 13 involved.
Yeah but that's not what they meant, I think what they were saying with "true paedophiles" are people fixated by diddling kids, that don't have money to do whatever they want.
It'm also questioning it tbh, because it's always a power thing, fetishes revolving around forbidden topics entice in their own way and are fine with consenting adults and adequate safety, but the power and control fixations involved in forcing kids are unique ethically.
They're onto something about the ultra-rich that I was trying to understand and discuss that it seems like a disproportionate amount take the chance to fuck a minor like groupes or Epstein and I don't think I could live with something like that or even be near someone that would.
Money and fame does strange things with people is my only idea for an answer
