Nothing gets the pedophiles riled up quite like a hypothetical

Just to point out, having a paraphilic disorder for pubescent teenagers is not pedophilia but hebephilia (i.e. having sexual interest in pubescent teenagers of either sex between 11 and 16)

I know that there's a difference between a pedophile and a hebephile. I know that the differences is that pedos are attracted to prepubescent kids and hebes are attracted to pubescent kids. There is a difference between the two.

That being said, there's no way to say this online without sounding like someone who is attracted to kids.

as a graphic designer, i try to remind fellow graphic designers that apart from circumstances and conversations specifically related to your craft, colloquial use is totally acceptable and that you shouldn't be insisting on pointing out the difference between a font and a typeface, because no one cares and it's annoying as fuck.

not to mention everyone knows what people mean when they say "font" so there's no point in pedantic "ackshually"s. they just make you sound like a dick.

now that's what i think about designers being pedantic about designer terms.

idk what i can even say about your comment.

I don’t care

Just to point out, colloquially you are wrong, and there is a colloquial use of the term pedophile. We are not discussing this in an academic setting and it also doesn't change the content of this discussion to redefine terms to academic ones, so no need to change it. Everyone understands what's being referenced here because it was specified as being a 14 year old in the OP.

What exactly is your purpose in making this distinction between these terms?

Can't even discuss serious mental disorders anymore without being dogpiled smh

People who are afflicted with these need help but people would rather just talk about how they deserve to be killed instead for something they never chose to have

Everyone loves to talk about how they would hurt others if they could and how their version is the only one that is just and fair.
