Another point. There are 3 sociological categories:
- profane (usual everyday subjects)
- sacred good (absolute goodness, kindness, love)
- sacred bad (absolute evil, hate)
Profane - is something what can be freely discussed without "triggering".
Sacred - it can not be discussed, because it's predefined.
One weird example, but I think the East block will understand. During the Soviet time, the sacred good was Lenin, the sacred bad was Hitler. None of those two persons could be pictured outside of the context of "absoluteness". Even after the Soviet time, "ad hitlerium" argument is considered an end to any discussion.
See what I mean? "Circimcision", "paedophily" are "sacred bad". These words are triggers. They can not be discussed. What means ... no progress can be made here, until they become a "profane" subject. And to reach this status - they must be mentioned, discussed. Only then paedophiles might get some relief without causing any real damage to any real kids. Just like with computer shooters.
