Kind of just felt like sparking a discussion thread and thought this might be an interesting one.

For me personally, one of, if not, my most controversial takes is that I will associate with anyone. Regardless of their opinions of if I personally find their opinions to be disgusting or revolting. I will give anyone respect who gives me respect.

Another one which I've expressed here before is that I do not think someone simply being a pedophile automatically makes them a pure evil child abuser who can't help but rape every child that they see. And that some people can have this affliction and not actively seek out abusive content or attempt abusive actions.

My opinions on loli/shota/cub are also fairly controversial, but I imagine those are mostly shared by the majority of people here.

That should probably get us started pretty good!

So, What's a controversial take that you have that most people would disagree with?

Feel free to have peaceful discussions about other people's responses.

i have to skip giving an opinion on your views about pedophilia because i dont feel that i could be respectfull.

i will say that my controversial take on something that alot of people disagee on is the way swiss rolls are supposed to be eaten.

the outer chocolate layer gets nibbled off first. then you slowly unravel the roll by eating from left to right until you have a cakey take filled with cream that is then eaten from straight on

As weird as it is to express, it wasn't an opinion. It's a fact. It's controversial even in leftist spaces (brought up because they care about outcomes and mental health), but the stigma does prevent people from seeing therapy. Although that is a very careful balance that'd have to be reached to convince people to get help.

Not only that, but many therapists will not take pedophile clients due to lack of training, some might report them to police because they assume every pedophile is a child molester, and so they report them in order to protect themselves in the face of mandatory reporting laws, and others might take them, but only have training dealing with offending pedophiles. This makes it difficult and risky for a nonoffending pedophile to get a therapist, and even if they do, the therapist may not actually be able to help them. So, ironically, the current pedophile panic could actually be increasing risk to children.
