I asked over 10,000 pedophiles if they felt like exposure to erotic content featuring children would increase or reduce their risk of offending in real life. You predict on average they answered:

significant increase risk
42.9%
slight increase risk
17.5%
slight decrease risk
17.9%
significant decrease risk
21.7%

guys, i did a viral survey that 430k ppl responded to, and in this survey i asked about attraction to children, and 10k people reported at least some attraction to children, this is how I asked 10k pedophiles.

so that’s not very accurate at all, surveys can be unintentionally very biased. responses to surveys (especially online ones) are always taken with a grain of salt. especially if it went “viral” i would be incredibly dubious of the results and i’d assume a large portion are false

"Viral surveys" are not statistically significant

This is how you *didn’t* ask 10,000 pedophiles then.

Pedophilia is not a kink

Wow, a viral survey. Surely that must've yielded usable data with no baked in selection biases or massive easy to spot methodological flaws. I'd definitely draw some conclusions based on that like they're meaningful in any ways. Great data analysis, zero notes.
