Pedophile is a convenient accusation. Did a pedophile try to get you fired from your job? Look, I had five children and two more adopted. But I also saw how accusations of pedophilia ruined lives, and some of those were innocent, or not a danger to children. It didn't matter. The label is a killer. The label used to be "Jew" or "queer," used as hate speech. When I was growing up in a suburb of Los Angeles, it was "ni**er" or "ni**er-lover."
If one is actually a pedophile (which is fairly rare), acting on the impulses that would presumably arise is illegal everywhere, is even a capital offense in some places. But condemning people as "pedophiles" because they touched an article, and particularly doing that from behind an anonymous account?
There are points of view and "favorite facts" that may be common among pedophiles. Some of them are actually fact. (Facts do not require conclusions). An example would be that Emil Kirkegaard pointed out that "simulated child porn" is not illegal in many places. (i.e, animations, not involving an actual child in the production.) Simply stating a fact is not advocacy of behavior.
At the time he was writing, I think that was true in the U.S., I don't know if it still is. After all, not my favorite topic! So this was supposedly evidence that he was defending "pedophilia," which is actually a different topic. (But see
this legal advice about California. It is apparently not entirely clear.)
My strong advice, warning even: stay completely away from animated child porn, not to mention actual sexual video of children. And if you have trouble doing that, you have a problem that could be fatal (suicide becoming a high risk for someone charged with certain offenses). Get help. It is possible to handle 'philias and other sexual obsessions (same as any addiction).
And here, speculating about a real person being a "pedophile" is something I will not condone, when there is no plausible and significant risk to the public through the person having freedom of expression. If they are presenting falsehoods, confront the falsehoods! But tossing mud at them will not do that; it will, in fact, harden them in their beliefs.
