Pedophilia as a paraphilia is an interest in children in the sense that you feel attracted to them as women. Are there guys what you prefer. It's a medical word.
Pedophilic acts (I have no idea what it is called in English) is actual sex with children.
And now this: not everyone who rapes a child is a pedophile in the medical sense. A lot of them do it because they want to stick a duck in anything and they absolutely don't care if it's with a supermodel their own age, their own mother on her 80th birthday or a seven-year-old girl they meet in the park. It's called surrogate pedophilia (again, I don't know what it's called in English). Just because Chris hasn't watched (or at least we don't know about) pedoporn doesn't mean he won't take advantage of the child. As far as we know he wasn't watching GILF-porn or interested in sex with old men until the incest saga.
The big and red alarm light is that once, as an adult, he often spent a lot of time with children while playing with Pokemon and in GAMe PLACE. He didn't necessarily have bad intentions, but did anyone, after learning about the incest, wonder if Meghan's harassment was limited to kissing attempts and crappy drawings? I wouldn't be surprised if Meghan did #metoo and testified that at least once Chris tried to undress her or persuaded her to have sex.
As someone who works with the disabled, this is a poor analysis of the situation of Chris - Megan, for one, wasn't the sweet angel baby that she's commonly portrayed as. She was as much the fuel to the situation with them as Chris was.
Second, Chris is autistic - people with autism often mix with those of a younger age in their social activities due to a lower mental age and inability to evolve their emotional needs to what would be considered satisfying for someone of their same age. There is absolutely zero evidence of any misconduct from Chris in this regard; we have so much recording of his life and interactions that we would have something by now, however there isn't, and Chris isn't smart enough to cover his tracks or intentions.
The situation with Barb didn't exist in a vacuum; yes, it was horrendous act, however it was fuelled by external forces. The Oedipus effect has been well recorded in the psyche of men, and the factors of having a relatively weak father and over bearing mother is the perfect storm for such a result. This is entirely different from someone being attracted to children.
I'm fine crucifying someone for their sins but throwing around the idea of him being in to kid fuckery is part of why when an actual pedo pops up it's so hard to actually get people to pay attention to the allegations.
We are talking about someone with an associate degree in Computer Aided Design.
He's not retarded, just impulsive, lazy and delusional. If a group home taught him basic discipline, then he could definitely find night-time shelf-stacking work
IQ, ability and mental age are different things. He's absolutely retarded in the medical sense - he is neurodiverse; he doesn't perceive the world in a rational manner, and degrees in IT fields often has mentally disabled individuals due to the logical and lack of nuance in computing.
It's not just about his ability to work, it's also controlling his unhinged perception of life. People with autism struggle with work due to this reason, even if they are on paper capable. A struggle to maintain stable employment is a typical sign of autism and actually leads to diagnosis later in life if undetected in early years.
The impulsiveness is part of his condition; wherein most people have impulsive urges, for him they are uncontrollable due to the lack of true thought or deeper thinking for him. It's once again a typical symptom of things like autism.
In my country we spend a significant period of time trying to normalize someone in to the standards of the community, including work. Autism at his position of the spectrum means he will have low attention span; a near repulsion to things that disinterest him; and an inability to filter emotions.
He never should have been allowed to continue living with his parents and in my country he would be forced to move in to his own or group home for his own sake - that has never happened, and the health care system has never intervened with him. Chris Chan is an example of how piss poor the mental health treatment system of America is. He's a piece of shit, but a piece of shit that could have been avoided if he were in any other developed nation.
