That's not right, that's not okay, I don't know but turning a blind eye to evil is just as bad as siding with it..

I don't think it's accurate to say they "turn a blind eye."
They still think it's absolutely heinous, and they still think it's much more horrible than when animals do it (despite using animal examples to somehow prove that it's no different), and they still think it should be strictly against the law everywhere, and they still think the person responsible is a piece of shit who should receive justified punishment like life behind bars.
So the way I see it, saying "evil doesn't exist" and "nothing is objectively wrong" and "it's only a matter of personal opinion" is words only. By all intents and purposes, they do see child rape, torture, and murder as an evil act and it takes an evil person to do it. It doesn't make any sense in my mind, because when I think about things that are merely a matter of personal opinion or taste and there is no right/wrong answer, I don't get so fired up about a different opinion. And I certainly don't think people should be punished or seen as bad for a different personal opinion when there is no correct right/wrong answer.
But it is what it is. The important thing is that everyone participating in this thread is a good person who would always denounce such actions.
Yup. That's how I see it too, I don't think anyone with a conscience can not think child rape is objectively bad or evil, some people just don't like the words but still believe in it(they just use different words but it's the same thing). I don't understand it either but it is what it is.
