An eight-year-old video about pedophilia has begun recirculating on the social media platform X.
Judging by the present mood on that platform, viewers will have little sympathy for the speaker’s disposition toward pedophiles.
As one would expect, the Justice Department’s Jan. 30 release of more than 3 million files pertaining to notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has triggered substantial outrage, making it even less likely than usual that the pro-pedophilia message, deleted shortly after its posting, will meet with a favorable reception.
In a TEDx talk from 2018, organized under the umbrella of the well-known TED nonprofit organization that promotes speaking events worldwide, German medical student Mirjam Heine urged her audience to treat pedophiles with empathy.
“Most of us feel discomfort when we think about pedophiles,” Heine said. “But just like pedophiles, we are not responsible for our feelings. We do not choose them.”
