If a person who is attracted to children wants to seek therapy and work to overcome this attraction, they deserve the right to seek therapy and get the help they need to be cured of this mental illness without automatically getting punished for admitting to the attraction in seeking help.

...but the second you act on it and abuse a child, you lose all sympathy forever. Then, woodchipper.

Therapy makes paedos more likely to offend because they just learn new ways to justify their behaviour.

Even if there's a small chance pedos will be more likely to offend and learn ways to justify their behavior with therapy, there's a astronomically higher chance that the rehabilitation plan of"pedos face the wall" will lead to making pedos more likely to offend. If the rule becomes "If I molest a child, I will be killed. If I consume CP, whether drawn or real, I will be killed. If anyone finds out I'm attracted to children, I will be killed. If I try to seek help to cure this condition, the doctors/therapists are duty-bound to call the cops and I will be killed"... well, in that case more and more people will go to "...well, if I'm going to be killed no matter what, then I might as well molest a child and at least fulfill this one sexual fantasy I have before they kill me."

This is more exacerbated because most offending pedophiles were, themselves, molested as a child, which means inevitably to really stop pedos, you'll also have to give the child they molested the woodchipper as well (can't give them therapy, they'll justify offending in the future amirite?)...which will only give the pedophile even more power over their victim since "...if you tell anyone what we're doing, they won't just kill me, they'll also kill you for it..." is guaranteed to keep kids silent about their abuse.

The amount of problems for just "pedos face the wall" vs. "let non-offending pedophiles seek help without fear of arrest" is so great that if someone says "pedos face the wall" as the only way to do it, I have to assume they, themselves, are a pedophile trying to plot to put things on easy mode.

This, fucking thank you! I'm depised the mental illness but I understand that these people need help. I was groomed as a child, and this "face the wall" worries me too. Because, what people don't understand that most pedos were also CSA survivors themselves. So, what then? Are we just gonna start going after survivors? Regardless if they do gain the illness or not? How will that even work?

Not to mention, that the diagnosis age limit starts at 14 to 15 years old. Are we gonna make teengers (who, remember, were sexually abused as children and their brain developed this way because of the trauma) "face the wall?"

That's the worst part: As I said, inevitably if it happened, it'd become: "The pedos face the wall -> to stop them at the core, they go after CSA survivors -> To start going after survivors, they start with the obvious one- the survivors who admitted their abuse, aka the kids who came forward -> Suddenly, the pedophile has a brand new weapon in their arsenal to keep their victims silent in "if you tell your parents/teachers/cops/an authority figure, they're going to kill you too, not just me".
