Celebrities you really hope aren't paedophiles...

I just read this news story...

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/news/a218368/rupert-grint-obsessed-by-ice-cream-van.html

It's about how Rupert Grint (aka Ron from the Harry Potter films) drives around in an ice cream van.

That's right. Every day he goes out in his ice cream van and every time he stops somewhere, children line up outside it.

Now I'm not saying he's a paedophile, but, imagine if he was. He's Ron from Harry Potter and he has an ice cream van. Think of how many kids he'd be able to harm?

Why, possibly almost as many as Robert Pattinson could harm if HE was a paedophile. Robert Pattinson having a thing for underage girls is almost too scary to even joke about. He could get through hundreds a day...

If you're a talented famous director like Roman Polanski, your celebrity friends will defend you anyway. And your fanbase will argue technicalities and point out a (alleged) mistake by a judge in order to argue that you should just get off scot-free.

I don't know about any celebrities, but I really hope the NeoGAF user "plagiarize" isn't a pedo. I mean, sitting around all day thinking about celebrities raping children is certainly unusual, but it's no cause to go and label a person. Right?

There's no way he should get the tag "closet pedo" or anything on this forum, certainly not without some compelling proof!

Rupert a paedophile would mean he masturbates to his earlier HP movies

But masturbating to HP movies doesn't neccesarily make you a paedophile. Some of us just really like magic.

Well, the avatar he uses has a picture of young pussy in it.

Playing with balls, even. I'm not saying that he's a pedophile, but I'm 90% certain that I can guess that he's a pedophile. It's not 100%. I'm just a man with the questions. But when a man has an avatar with pussy and balls, certain things leap out at you.

He used to say he wanted to be an ice cream man when he first started playing Ron in the harry potter series. So luckily he's not, unless of course he was a pedo at the age of 10!

now i'm not saying you're a paedophile, but what drew you to this thread?

how can you tell if someone is a paedophile at the age of ten? CONUNDRUM!

Imma let you finish, but fistful was the greatest joker closet pedo on this forum evar

Was he the guy that was obsessed with Natalie Portman? Did he get banned? What about him was pedo? Natalie's a grown-ass woman ain't she?

The man was arrested for jerking off in an adult movie theater full of other adults who were also jerking off to a porno featuring adults. What about that makes him a candidate to be a kid rapist?

Read the link. This is his 2002 arrest, not the earlier one. Basically, cops found he had a ton of 'vintage' nudes in his collection. Some underage.

nothing of course. and nothing about owning an ice cream van makes you a paedophile either... but it's still scary to think about, and scary ideas gain traction even if they aren't rational.

pee wee was seen as completely asexual and we didn't think anything of him being on a kids tv show. once he was caught doing something very sexual, we couldn't think of him as asexual anymore, and the irrational thought that he might try to do something with children was scary enough to stick.

to this day there are people that think he DID do something to children.

isn't Rupert gay?
i'm glad that we've gotten so far away from the association between homosexuality and paedophilia that people think being gay means one can't be a paedophile, but might i suggest we've gone too far?

Um, if you would have clicked the link I provided you would have seen he was arrested in 2002 for having child pornography on his computer, although he claims he didn't. It had nothing to do with his arrest in 91.

What kind of jackass are you, OP?

Being a pedophile = being a bad person? gtfo

Has been said sooo many times, but: Pedophiles dont choose to be pedophile, they are what they are. And a pedophile is NOT someone who has sex with children. A pedophile is someone that finds children attractive. That´s all. Someone who actually fucks a child is a criminal, a molester, pedophile or not. And criminals and molesters are bad persons. Pedophiles are not.

You´d think at least on a board with that many non-heterosexuals, people would hesitate to hate on someone that has a different sexual attraction.

I agree with your point, but I don't think the OP ever said that being a paedophile = being a bad person.

well, saying "which celebrity do you hope is not a pedophile?" sounds like it to me, though.

Also @others, I simply hate ignorance. That´s why Im defending.

I think I* know where this is going.
Well is it possible to actually provide a counter argument against the man at least? I mean, it can't be that hard.
You guys don't realize how many times that argument of -peadophilia is as much a sexual orientation as heterosexuality/homosexuality-thing is brought up in real life.


*i'm neutral in all things and don't give a fuck*

Holy shit selig, you'll defend anything.

You do kinda have a point though. Just saying :lol

It is a real issue. Some people have the shitty luck of being born pedophiles. They realize during adolescensce that they're attracted to young people.

The ones we study and hear about are the ones that act upon it and get caught. There are those out there who spend their whole life repressing their sexuality (rightly so) and suffering because they realize being a paedophile is immoral. It's hard for them even to seek therapy, because a lot of States have laws that say therapists have to report to the authorities anyone who admits to being a paedophile, regardless of whether or not they've acted upon it. The ones that are able to get help sometimes opt for chemical castration. It's a shitty situation, to be sure.

Hard to know how to deal with people like this, and we don't really know how many are out there, as we don't often get to study them- there's a real lack of scientific study, for obvious moral reasons.

No, not really. He was discussing people in positions of unusual power/access to children. Read the OP again and tell me where it says 'anyone born as a paedophile is a bad person regardless of whether or not they act upon it'.

This reminds me of the Hey Dad! scandal. It was a comedy sitcom here in Australia in the 80's/90's. It was pretty funny and I always liked the dad in it. Recently it came to light he was a pedophile and had molested all these kids including the kids on the show. Wtf. :(

It would be like finding out George on Seinfeld is a pedo or something. Ruined the show and all my memories of it.

Pedophiles like that aren't JUST into kids though are they? Isn't pedophila more like a fetish rather than a sexuality? Just date an adult and move on. I like women, just because I don't have one doesn't mean I'll start freaking out that I might rape one or molest them or something and end up getting a chemical castration(*shudder*).
