Welcome back, BroSydePhil. This is an incredible video, but first things first: thank you for your courage and strength, not only in doing that work to protect children, but in being able to speak out and share your feelings and experiences. We don't have enough voices in any discourse who understand what they're talking about as deeply as this, particularly in online discussions. Years ago, I watched a documentary about "minor-attracted people", which was the alternative label that the sympathetic researchers had chosen. At the time, and even now, I wasn't unsympathetic to their arguments or perspectives either, at least not insofar as, "People can't help their feelings/impulses, only what they do or refrain from doing," and "It's wrong to punish someone who has done nothing wrong." But this is a much, much more complicated argument than that, particularly when you start weaving it into discourse about discrimination about practices/desires/activities which do not victimize anyone- as you touched upon, many other paraphilias, homosexuality, law-abiding pyromaniacs, etc. One of your phrases, "broken in the head", really stuck out to me, because the saddest part is that, in many cases, a person with these feelings is "carrying forward" something that was done to them as a child. If you begin to think of someone in that context, as a former victim, it's much easier to excuse their current crimes and/or predilections. It's not their fault and they didn't ask for it. They're sick, not evil. And that's true, but I also agree with Mr. Black, (formerly) of the Disturbing Truth RUclips channel, when he said that (paraphrasing) the "victim" is dead as soon as they become a perpetrator. They cross over into evil at that point, and should be treated as no different from someone who offends for any other reason. There's an argument to be made that demonizing someone for something that they can't control makes them more likely to take that step into acting upon their impulses. It cuts them off from the support resources that they may need and it creates toxic shame, which can motivate no end of antisocial behaviour and to which abuse victims are particularly vulnerable. But I don't think that we should ever stop being horrified by evil, and an impulse that could drive someone to commit evil acts, especially against children. I don't think that the goal should be for these people to lead "normal" lives, any more than someone with a physical disability can lead a "normal" life. There is something about them that requires support that a majority of the population does not, and that can and should come in the form of things like restricted/supervised access to children. They are not necessarily evil, but they are potentially dangerous to people who cannot protect themselves. I think that, if those with this paraphilia are indeed as well-meaning as these scholars seem to believe that they are, they would be the most enthusiastic about such measures. After all, if their goal is indeed not to offend at all costs, they should welcome any assistance in achieving it. I also think that it is indeed extraordinarily irresponsible of Phil to talk about anything approaching this level of complexity and consequence with his usual degree of ignorance and immaturity. This is not an overpriced character skin or a poorly made AAA game. This is a serious, devastating issue, and how dare he speak about it at all, let alone publicly and with such authority. You have my sincerest wishes for continued healing and peace. Please continue not only to work with these difficulties, but to celebrate the victories as they come. Take care of yourself.
This is well done video. Your research and facts back up everything in this video. Your DSP content is fun, but like see more content like this as well. Hope to see more soon.
I appreciate the insight into the topic, Bro. That perspective of normalising this... Complete insanity. I'm also glad that RUclips can be a positive outlet for you. The quality of the video was excellent.
Not enough people are talking about how concerning Phil’s rant about EDP is. Phil 100% sympathizes with EDP. After all, Phil was talking to Pandalee when she was underage too. The only difference between EDP and him is Phil didn’t get caught. And Phil, like most people, doesn’t understand what pdfphillia actually is, or know anything about EDP’s situation, so he thinks that he and EDP did the same thing. And being the narcissist he is, Phil can’t accept that he could every do anything wrong, so EDP must have been set up as well. The fact that he has more sympathy for a predator like EDP than for his victims in this is absolutely sickening.
One would think that children being unable to consent would be common knowledge, if someone can not consent but you still choose to go after those who can not consent then well we all know what that's called.
A well put together video is always welcome, especially one discussing such a serious topic. I never realized how scarily real this topic was until watching 'Sound of Freedom'. The world is forever greatful for your work, and hopefully one day we won't need so much child protective work 🙏🏽
Dood, didn't they try this angle already years ago and we laughed them out of the room? And yeah pdf files is really young infants. For the somewhat higher ages between 11-16 years the word is hebephilia
I know this has nothing to with this video but why does Phil treat racists and pedophiles with kid gloves but when someone in his chat compares him to a meme due to how cringe he’s acting he goes all she hulk on them
I actually clicked wondering what PDF files have to do with P people and why do we need to not legalise them. I was just about to ask whats wrong with PDF files XD

PDF files need to go into the recycle bin.

They say that age ain’t nothing but a number and to that I say you know what’s also a number a prison sentence

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

8:37 Yet they haven't wrong anything wrong yet but if monsters like you get their way they will do things wrong and that's the point
If wanting to stuff a PDF phile into a woodchipper foot first makes me a bigot, then deus volt brother.
Hope this helped take off some weight off you bro. The acceptance for sickening shit is deplorable and you did good on this one
2:25 How about no
2:32 yeah and bestiality is a sexual preference what's your point
