45 minutes ago, long-time user Rondomi posted a topic on the Comradeship space titled “On Paraphilia”.
This will be the only surviving trace of that thread which has been scrubbed away, a single screenshot that instantly gives away what their topic is really about (and proves that this topic did exist):
In this long screed that we will not be copying from (and that you won’t be either, just in case you saw that thread and what was in it), they make the defense of pedophilia under semi-clinical terms wielded like a wobbly club.
They conflate terms like “paraphilia”, which is a blanket clinical term used by therapists to determine how to help their patients, with pedophilia itself. We don’t have any illusions about engaging with their blatant defense of pedophilia, so that is where we will leave our argumentation. There is no argumentation to be had and there is no need to engage with the argument.
Suffice to say, Rondomi was not making a “what if” thought experiment or trying to engage with the idea. Rather, as was made evident by the content of their post, they were trying to create acceptance of pedophilia within Lemmygrad by abusing communist language, clinical language, and finally using pro-pedophile language that they no doubt learned from such groups which they seem to be spending time in. This wasn’t just an off the cuff moment, this was planned, elaborated, and carefully typed.
In other words, if you are in contact with Rondomi, we highly advise banning them from every space you share with them and blocking off all contact with them.
That is the only point of this thread.
The other point is that we will keep comments open for a few moments. If you wish to go off on Rondomi, you can do it here. But just in case this needs to be said, be aware what happened to their account when you do so.
Now you’re making me wonder if we should report it to authorities. I’ll talk about it with the rest of the admins and see if we can do something safely. I’d rather not bring attention from the feds on lemmygrad. Maybe we’ll think of something.
Please don’t. It’s not worth elevating fed attention and nothing will come of it sadly.
There are so, so many pedophiles openly breaking the law online that police never interact with. It’s a sickening reminder of the priorities of a bourgeois state. Just think of those pedo lemmy instances still online I presume.
Since they’ve been banned there’s nothing you can give them but an IP address and it’s not enough for a warrant if they’re in most of the Anglo zone so it’ll die there (assuming it was just justifications in text and not admissions of specific acts). But if they see what our site is about, well they’ll suddenly have resources for /that/. You’ve done what you can and I know the community is grateful you’re keeping us safe.
