While I don’t think emulation is a bad way in every case, this stuff can get very complex and I’m neither a scientist studying psychology nor a therapist, and for that matter I think those are the people that should brain storm a proper way to treat those people.

And we can start by calling them what they are in the first place. Sick in the brain. Mentally ill. And then we can start treating them properly.

And if they still commit crimes, then we can all say we tried our best and we prioritize our safety again and they will go to prison for (at least) a while.

But yeah, finding a better systematic way to prevent sexual crimes should be our priority over the satisfaction of identifying and shaming people with bad thoughts.
