Funny how they call normal people ‘teleiophiles’ like it’s some kind of disorder. We don’t want to discriminate against the pedos!
-
You need to be less presumptuous and read more.

Not much chance, Presumptuous is my middle name

Wait a minute - they show how for any given position Y in this multiplot, the attraction is basically symmetric along X. So far so good.
-
But then the article says this means that gays aren't more likely to be attracted to children. That doesn't follow at all.
-
The question everyone has is not "are gay/straight men within category 'pedophile' different", but rather "are gays more likely pedophiles".
-
That's a question of the distribution of each orientation between the categories, data for which was never posted in the article.
-
Correction: this is the relevant portion of the article, along with a table of my creation.pic.twitter.com/Gwi4AQ3pK0
-
The takeaway from that paragraph could instead be, "of those subjects more attracted to men than women, the majority were pedophiles!"
-
So, is this applicable to population at large? Depends on the breakdown of how these men were brought into the study.
-
If main sexual crime for men is rape, and rape is more a straight thing, then screening criminals would inherently bias gays towards pedos.

1) OK, but the claim "Do gay men have more sexual interest in children than straight men do? No." means a lot less than it would appear.

4) 1,066 hetero teleiophiles, 761 hetero hebephiles, 159 hetero pedophiles 96 homo teleiophiles, 86 homo hebephiles, 110 homo pedophiles

Just says age arousal profiles are the same within groups (telo/hebo/pedo). Doesn't address the size of the groups across sexual orientation
-
Referral rates for testing can be used as a rough proxy for number of telo/hebe/pedo in homo/heterosexuals. Assuming no court/therapist bias

Conveniently disregarded is the fact that many child abusers are not actually pedophiles (and vice versa).
