In fairness to Rogan, he did issue a heartfelt apology. That being said, I was present in the podcast when he said the comment, my thought was: "that's a miss". I knew he was just trying to bring humor to a dark topic, much like the movie 'Happiness'...or Sherdog :/
Most people find these types of "jokes" in bad taste, 100%...BUT, intention is most important. Joe is a father, and in no way do I believe he doesn't take pedophilia seriously, or give a shit.
The PC police will have you believe that these types comments damages the battle against pedophiles, and to a degree, they might, but only in a minor way. The reality is, the vast majority of people who commit these offenses are right in your face, just as aghast as you are, on the surface. They're Priests, teachers, daycare workers, Boy Scout leaders, etc.
The real battle against pedophilia needs awareness, and whether you like it or not, this situation brought more to the issue. Want to better protect your children? Start by directing your energy in the right direction, not to off colored jokes that fail...but using real world strategies that'll actually make a difference.
When I was doing my Criminal Justice degree, I studied Pedophilia, and its treatment and effectiveness, intensely. Learning how this enemy operates will best prepare you in protecting your kids. Pedophiles generally tend to target loners, kids who's parents are never around, or take little interest. Go meet your kids teachers, scout leader, etc. Shake their hand, look them in the eye, show them you take a genuine interest in your child's life...this is a HUGE red flag to a pedophile...they'll look elsewhere. Also, don't hide these awkward discussions from your children, educate them on whats right and wrong...give them the tools to protect themselves. Pedophiles aren't generally stupid criminals, if they sense the child is aware, they're outta there.
Smarter, not harder.
