As the pendulum starts accelerating the other direction on behavior like this, it's going to be super ugly. Necessary, but still I don't look forward to it.

It seems to me that the people most likely to be sexual criminals are the ones on both sides of the spectrum that are obsessed with sexual ideology - whether it be deviant transgenders or puritanical priests.

    I see the point you are making. Maybe... formerly puritanical, hypocritically puritanical? I am suggesting a correlation between overly repressive (or the opposite) attitudes about sex and outbursts of deviancy, and suggesting that ideologies that have obsessive and extreme sexual hang-ups of any sort might not be the healthiest.

      Yes, but literally nobody says 'puritanical' to mean someone is literally a Puritan when talking about modern people, as they haven't existed for hundreds of years. I was clearly using it in the other sense of the word that you can find in a dictionary

      "having or displaying censorious moral beliefs, especially about pleasure and sex. adjective: puritan"

      Given the lack of capitalization of 'puritan', and the context of sexual ideologies I thought this was apparent

        Also, positions which have access to children attract nonces.

        The other direction? Because to me it seems like it's been swinging pretty hard toward cracking down on it for a long time.

        Fifty years ago child pornography was legal. Now Google uses AI to scan your photos and report you to the police. The category keeps expanding too. Used to be people thought child nudity was totally innocent as long as it wasn't sexual. Now people equate child nudity with child pornography in almost any situation. And then there's the whole issue with putting fictional cartoons into the same category. Heck recently a lot of are afraid to even say child pornography and keep inventing new abbreviations to use instead.

        Its true, Christians, despite their propensity for calling anything they don't like Communism, are in fact the original Communists

        "All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need. ... Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common. ... There was not a needy person among them, for as many as owned lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold. They laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need."

        — Acts 2:44–45, Acts 4:32–35
