Far-right Vtuber Kirsche claims that POCD isn't real, that POCD is a label meant to normalize "pedophilia" (child sexual abuse)

For perspective, she also threatened to sue Vice:

We all know Vice, don’t we?

I mean she says POCD normalizes pedophilia, but defends lolicon. Others can simply say that she also normalizes it. Having thoughts alone affects literally nobody, but sharing lewd lolis does.

So the “normalize” arguments fits her much more than POCD. (I am not against loli, but in the eyes of many she is a pedo for enjoying loli).

I read a shocking article, headlined “‘Grave Sexual Abuse’: When the Word Rape Doesn’t Apply To Boys” [by Zahara Dawoodbhoy, 21 Sep 2020], about a South Asian nation/culture in which men have been raping boys with impunity.

There, girls’ vaginal virginity is traditionally/normally verified before an arranged marriage takes place. The ‘virginity’ of boys, however, seems to not be an issue, and therefore they cannot be sexually ‘spoiled’ or considered raped.

The following relevant segment is taken from the extensive article:


…. According to the Penal Code of Sri Lanka, the word ‘rape’ is defined as a man having sex with a woman, under specific circumstances that lack consent. The rape of boys — and men — therefore, do not fall under this official legal definition, and the crime instead gets tried as ‘grave sexual abuse’. Although the punishment for the two offences is the same, the euphemism used to describe rape when it occurs to boys points to larger social attitudes of who we consider can be victims.

“I think there is a myth that it only happens to female children, and that has to do with the cultural aspect of people feeling that rape is a female-related issue,” Sonali Gunasekera, Senior Director of Advocacy at the Family Planning Association (FPA) told Roar Media. “That is probably why this archaic law is still in place — because that’s how it was seen from afar.”

Despite this myth, the fact remains that instances where young boys are raped in Sri Lanka are surprisingly frequent. Director of the Child Protection Force, Milani Salpitikorala, says that 90% of her current cases involve young boys, and the idea that the boy child is somehow less susceptible to sexual abuse and rape in this country is completely false.

“Our mindsets are set in a culture of ‘Don’t worry about your child if he is a boy,’ but the boy child is as unsafe in the hands of perpetrators as much as the girl child is, if not more,” she said.

In 1997, a community study was conducted on university students in Sri Lanka, where a questionnaire was administered to two sets of undergraduates — one that had heard a lecture on child abuse prior to completing the survey, and one that had not. In both groups, the percentage of boys that admitted to being sexually abused during their childhood was higher.

Despite these findings, little research has been conducted looking into the demographics of child rape, and prevalent social attitudes around gender continue to erase boys from the demographic of people considered to be rape victims.

Even when the abuse does come to light, it is shrugged off by the idea that ‘ships don’t leave tracks on water’, which is a phrase used to imply that because there is no physical virginity to be lost, no harm has been done.

“In many cases I have seen, families and peers of young boys who are being sexually abused don’t take it seriously because the ‘issue’ of virginity doesn’t come into play,” Thushara Manoj, Senior Manager for advocacy at the FPA told Roar Media.

“When a girl gets raped, this is seen as an issue because it is believed her virginity has been compromised, and she also has the capacity to become pregnant from it. This means that her marriage prospects will suffer, and there is a risk of her abuse becoming apparent.”

But with boys, Manoj explains that this fear does not exist, and as a result, families are unlikely to intervene, especially if the perpetrator is a member of the family or community at large. ….

Vice were the ones who posted articles about Virtuous Pedophiles, defending non-offending pedos’ right not to be discriminated against for their condition.

The same people who posted the smear campaign against anime? “Non-offending”. It seems that, according to Vice, even viewing fictional content is “offending”.

Honestly, I stopped taking everything the far right says seriously, cuz honestly: They either gonna be rage baiting or they are either super stupid. OCD often includes lots and lots and lots of intrusive thoughts that go against your morality and they BOTHER you. You do not enjoy, love or fantasize about these thoughts at all, they create anxiety and bother the person. POCD in that sense is just like any other OCD in this world, it creates anxiety and can mentally torture the person who has it. What is so difficult to understand?
