Pedophiles operate on a completely different level though. (You know, the deranged ones who don't drag themselves to a therapist begging to get their balls cut off ... so, most of them). Literally every little innocent thing a kid does is "flirting", or "I can teach them how good it feels, train them to like it and to like me". Most also have a solid dose of narcissism where they don't give two shits about the kid they're abusing, only sex. They are all the worst kind of narcissists and sociopaths where because of their lack of empathy they live only for them selves, down to the most disgusting immoral desire. Even some sociopaths can reason "well if I do x thing that society says is wrong, I'll be imprisoned so I won't do it" and pedophiles are like heroin addicts who will suck the most diseased dick in promise of the smallest hit. They cannot control themselves or resist their desires and that's why they're so dangerous.
Can any psych kiwis explain to a pleb why this is, that pedos are such base animals with no control over sexual desires (the ones who claim to not want to hurt kids) as opposed to normal humans who are attracted to adults who can control sex drives (yes, incels and rapists exist, but when rapists don't "need" consent, they're pretty much half-driven by suffering and sadism anyhow)
