Let’s now apply these findings to the witch hunt against pedophiles. The reasons why sexual feelings for children are regarded as negative in this society should make an interesting theme for a future article. Many people (twenty-five percent!!) turn out to have a capacity for such feelings. Might it not be that these feelings, precisely because they are branded as negative, end up as a result in the shadow of the psyche? The strong emotional outbursts against pedophilia can be explained in this way. After all, when such people are confronted with pedophilia, this recalls the fear that their suppressed feelings may surface. This is quickly remedied by projecting those feelings onto a scapegoat. This will be vehemently denied because it is an irrational and unconscious process. So there we see temper tantrums and the replacement of balanced arguments with emotional cries, if necessary even with lies and distortion of facts. In short: a witch hunt against pedophilia takes place.
