If someone ran a support group for people with violent temper problems, or problem drinking, or any number of objectively bad things, that would not be a problem.
If you're trying to treat their condition and prevent them from acting on their urge to do the bad thing, why should that be shameful?
yeah imo it's a massive issue that "pedophile" and "child molester" are being used interchangably nowadays
i can imagine that there are plenty of people like the guy in question here, who would never act on these thoughts, but who would never tell a soul about their problems because being a pedophile is pretty much worse than being an actual murderer
Isn't that stigma kind of the problem though?

That, too, is a problem.
