@Consuela @lina I believe the thing you said is true, but it doesn't really work as an argument on this side of fedi.

1) There's a strong culture of skepticism of scientists here. The scientists that *are* here are usually vocal about how much bad research gets pumped out (I myself have lost more than 1 year's worth of work trying to replicate falsified research).
2) When people around here do interact with pedophiles, it tends to be the offending/pro-contact pedophiles (and as part of a dogpile).
3) Regardless, it is still a group of people who identify as "someone who has an urge to cause harm to children, even if they're suppressing it." This is actually very subtly harmful: someone who has such urges but does not make such urges part of their identity is more likely to make effort to fix or remove those urges. The power of constantly screaming "no, this is not who I am" cannot be understated.

The third point is the one that actually addresses the point - the first two are simply there to clue you in on what type of people you're talking to right now.
