Looking at that first post:
I don’t think he was saying he was gay, but that by “coming out,” he meant coming out as a pedophile. The last line of the post would bolster this.
I think this is not an inconsistency, but an example of his trying to “normalize” his pedophilia by trying to place it in the same kind of category as homosexuality, and share his story as if it belongs in the same discussion as just another sexual orientation.
Ahhhh… I reread that with my Marley glasses on and he’s saying being gay would have been so much more simple for his dad to accept than being a pedophile. I sit corrected 
That’s not the way I read it. I think that his father’s coming around was not shortened by the fact that he had always assumed that he was gay. Assuming something and being told it are very different things. What wasn’t simple was the fact that he’s gay and a pedophile. And that was his first post in the “I’m Gay. Do you Care?” thread. “I’m a pedophile” would be an odd choice for a reply.
And really would anyone’s reaction to “I’m a pedophile” be “oh, is that all?”
But he said "if only it were that simple…[being gay]. That implies something more than “simply” being gay.
I agree it’s an appalling response, but not as improbable as you might think.
Exactly. The other thing is being a pedophile which I’m assuming he hadn’t told his father about.
Not so strange if the person he’s speaking to is also a pedophile.
As for coming out to his father, I’m assuming that his father previously assumed he was gay (probably because his son never dated a female, or at least one his own age) and was having issues with it long before Cesario hit him with the BIG news about his sexual orientation. As for why he participated in the “I’m Gay” thread in the first place…who knows? We’re not exactly dealing with a logical person here.
Truly an odd choice for a reply, but remember who we’re talking about. Cesario takes every opportunity to turn the attention on himself. And I think Dio nails Cesario’s attempt as “trying to place it in the same kind of category as homosexuality, and share his story as if it belongs in the same discussion as just another sexual orientation.”
The reaction of “oh, is that all?” I can’t rationalize other than possibly being from someone who also doesn’t grasp the sociopathy of it all.
It wouldn’t be a surprising reaction from a abuse survivor either. Kids who who raised with sexual abuse don’t always have a full appreciation for how off-road pedophilia is.
Nevermind.
This guy creeps me in a way that transvestites midgets from Finland and Paris Hilton don’t. So I guess that, at least for me, pedophilia is not cool.
For the record, Paris Hilton creeps me a lot. I have no opinion whatsoever about transvestites midgets from Finland.
Doubtful. But in any case, he posted elsewhere that he is straight (because being attracted to elementary school girls is just one type of being a straight man, see?).
Thank you, Dio. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Being a pedophile is icky, but being so stuck on yourself that you need to make every thread you post to about you and your pedophilia is WAY over the line. The transparent attempts to debate Youth Rights as a gateway to eliminating age of consent laws is, to be honest, completely effing insulting.
The fact that people debate him about ANYTHING other than yay vs. nay on the kiddie diddling is ridiculous. It’s clearly the only passion he either A.) has or B.) is willing to share on this message board. This, my friends, is not “a refreshingly different opinion”, this is trolling.
And to put himself in the same league with homosexuals is beyond disgusting. I’ve never met an upstanding gay citizen who had to break up with his boyfriend because he turned 11. :eek:
I mean, to even remotely legitamize this individuals position is beyond awful. He will NEVER have a meaningful relationship with ANYONE, so no… it’s nothing like being gay. By the time that a girl is old enough to fully understand the implications of loving him, she’ll be out of his age range. How is that anything but a sickness? It’s clearly not a physical attraction or he’d just look for women with a congenital kidney disease (a la Gary Coleman) OR he’d just accept that we don’t always end up with our physical ideal.
No, his preference is actually rooted in controlling another human being, taking someones innocence away and/or playing God. Just like a rapist, just like a murderer.
To make the case that our refusal to appreciate his contributions to the board is just another example of how intolerant we are of other viewpoints is the Worst. Insult. to Republicans, Christians and anti-circumcision proponents that I’ve EVER witnessed. Evar.
He’s no more acceptable than someone who says, “Gosh, I could really go for brutally slaughtering your daughter. I mean, I won’t because it’s against the law… but daaaaang, I wish it wasn’t!” hurk
You mean Mr. Garrison posts on the Dope?!?

QFT.
True, but I’m an abuse survivor and definitely wouldn’t react that way. Quite the opposite in fact.
As for our resident pedophile, I agree with the opinion that he’s a troll. Not necessarily meaning that he’s not a pedophile too, but I think he’s getting off on stirring people up this way.
He’s disgusting, no doubt. But for me, it’s a fascinating insight into the mind of the person who once hurt me. Too bad it also makes me want to scrub my brain with bleach.
What’s so unbelievable about that? One of the professors at my college had a sex-change- and it’s a religious school, too.
His story was fascinating. It was also totally a lie. That’s the comparison that I was trying to make.
Ancient board history. It’s not that it’s unbelievable, it’s a story that turned out to be made up. The poster was named Kaitlyn.
Here’s the history lesson:
Miss Kaitlyn’s first day in the classroom.
He was outed as a fraud in Get your fucking facts right (Kaitlyn/Priceguy) starting with post #108.
I’m just hoping that Cesario is also just an attention whore and not really a pedophile.
You’re overlooking a third option: that he generally posts under a different username on the board but didn’t want to admit to pedophilia under that name and so created another account strictly for that (in other words, he’s a sock, not a troll). If I had to guess, I’d choose ‘sock’.
Also, he has stated that he is not attracted only to children*, so your theory about his preference for children being about control etc is out the window. As well as kind of ridiculous in any case. There are, sadly, lots of adults who wind up being controlled by their partners. Children may be easier to manipulate in that way, but having sexual relationships with them is illegal, which he says he abides by. If it was just about control rather than sexual attraction, why on earth wouldn’t he just seek out an adult who can be controlled? I think his assertion that it’s innate sexual attraction is true. There’s no need to dig for deeper motivations.
