    See, the distinction between a pedophile, hebephile and ephebophile exists for a good reason.

    But the thing is, the moment you start getting into those differences, it immediately makes you sound like a pedophile.

        Only because online people are dumb as fuck

        What I find very funny about this very unoriginal “online is so different than real life” line of thought, is that the comment you are responding to is one of the most popular jokes from stand up comedian Gianmarco Soresi.

        They cant process the nuance of basic arguments.

        People can, there just aren’t any of substance to be made on this topic. Raping kids is bad.

        This is why we now have some of the dumbest cunts in the world claiming that 25 year old “children” cant consent…

        This is such a wild strawman to fight against, completely unrelated to the topic at hand its very interesting this is what you’ve chosen to bring up.

        To put these under one umbrella term is fucking weird.

        No one is putting all of those under one term. You’ve added woman and even teenager (purposefully vague) to that list because it makes your pedophile, hebephile and ephebophile appear stronger than it actually is, which is very weak.

        Everyone just needs to take a page out of the UK play book, and call him a fucking nonce!

        To make all of this noise about lacking nuance just to suggesting using a more local synonym for pedophile is a pretty ridiculous hill to die on.

            Its crazy you think I must be American to think child rape is bad. That’s such a peculiar line of thought.

            This whole comment is a trip, all based on you making things up to be mad at because you know what you actually want to argue against isn’t acceptable to argue against.___

              Well obviously the only people who care about protecting children are The Chosen People of God, the Republican party. Everyone else who isn’t a Republican is a child molestater just waiting for a vulnerable child. We should give Republicans, who are the only good people ever, access to any child they want any time so they can protect the Children from the disgusting dangerously deranged Democrats. /S

      One of the many reasons it’s impossible to have an honest and mature discussion on the topic. No one cares to actually be accurate with terminology just because it’s “icky”

      Now if only we could also get research funding on the topic that doesn’t have a billion strings attached to the researchers or the results being locked away forever because no one wants their name attached.

      Or the best one peer review being basically impossible on the topic.

      It’s such a huge problem.

        This is not only wrong it’s extremely wrong.

        It’s a well documented sexual dysfunction with diagnosis codes and treatment methods (really mostly coping mechanisms and therapy) and everything.

        Not all people who are pedophiles rape children or consume CSM. Some people have the presence of mind to seek out help. Those people are people we can have an adult discussion about and if you want to be specific with definitions with them, fine. Be my guest.

        For the people who raped minors, or consumed CSM? Literally does not fucking matter what you call them. Any discussion on exactly the right word to use is a targeted distraction from the point. You’re either willfully and knowingly engaging in that distraction, or you’re ignorant of the harm some people are trying to cause by doing so.

        He’s a pedophile. Everybody that went to Epstein’s Island is a pedophile, rapist, child molester, whatever, or in the very best case complicit in those crimes.
