I agree with Ruby that being able to have that kind of discussion is valuable and that includes understanding pedophiles’ POV, but agree with Richard that that particular comment was someone luxuriating in a fantasy not making a moral argument. I wouldn’t keep that particular comment out of the rejected section but could see someone going far enough I would want that option.
Having now looked at it more closely, part of my thought process is “We’re fairly busy, so the effort involved in figuring out ‘is this a plausibly real argument vs pure fantasy vs fantasy plausibly-deniably-masquerading as argument’ isn’t really worth it. Nothing particularly bad happens AFAICT if it’s in the rejected section, and generally having a habit of using the “reject” button for things that aren’t obviously spam seems kinda fine.”
