Stop watering down the term. Yucky? Sure. Pedophile? No.
Emphasis mine. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedophilia.
A little further down:
I quoted the psychiatric definition on purpose.
The general population has a tendency of diluting medical, mostly psychiatric, terms, either rendering them meaningless (see people describing themselves as having OCD because they are quirky) or even turning them into slurs (see various names for intellectual disabilities, like "imbecile", "idiot" and so on).
I have an issue with that specifically. I replied to someone else why stretching the age from "prepubescent" to "below the legal age of consent" (hell, some poster even suggested "below the legal age of majority even if the legal age of consent is lower") bugs me.
So basically below 16
He's a type A fucking creep and a pederast if you want to get technical about it.
Dude, nothing's creepier than people who are eager to argue about the exact definition of pedophile.
& nothings more disgusting than twisting legality to engage in sadism.
It won't be fun when it happens to you. Actually; why stop there ? Take away due-process too while you're at it & burn your bill of rights
This current administration is currently doing the whole no due process and attempting to burn the bill of rights. And they are also pedos. So what is actually your point?
Don't become like them. That's my point, unless you are already.
How's that moral high ground, dude? Feeling good about yourself? Calling me creepy, knowing fuck all about me.
I replied to others what's my issue with people diluting the term, just in case you give a shit.
Wow a morally & ethically-sound person on lemmy that respects the rule of law.
You are a rarity, sir/madam
Whats the deal with girlfriends? You pick them up from school, and all they talk about is homework, and who's going to the school dance! Don't girlfriends know people who oppose genocide are worse then the KKK?
actually if its not from the pedophile region, otherwise it's just sparkling child abuse
you and that other weirdo in this thread really need to check yourselves
Ad hominem. How refreshing. Yawns. You'll get right along with that
.blahaj.zoneguy/gal/NB-person in the replies.What is a "pedophile region", anyway? Epstein's Island? And what's with that "otherwise"? Are you saying that pedophilia in "pedophile regions" is NOT child abuse? You should work on articulating your thoughts better, it's challenging to understand what you're trying to say.
