In a democracy, I don’t see how their vote really matters less. Plus it’ll help improve prisons perhaps.

    I’d guess it’s probably from a curated Tumblr post which I’ll paraphrase:

    “Every criminal deserves rights”

    “Except pedophiles, they’re true scum”

    “Yes, also pedophiles”

    “You’re a piece of shit”

    “If pedophiles don’t have rights, then everyone they want to not have rights will be declared a pedophile. For example, transgender people, queer people, liberals, and more have all been accused of preying on children”

    “Oh.”

      Meanwhile pedophiles, knowing they’re taboo, go to great lengths to be undetected and therefore never seek treatment and cause more harm.
