you and that other weirdo

Ad hominem. How refreshing. Yawns. You’ll get right along with that .blahaj.zone guy/gal/NB-person in the replies.

actually if its not from the pedophile region, otherwise it’s just sparkling child abuse

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.

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.

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.

Man “conveniently” referred to the psychiatric definition. Because the “sexual attraction to a person below the legal age of consent” definition is
a) harmful to victims of actual child sexual abuse (in my opinion);
b) geographically-dependent. In Europe the age of consent is 16, for example. According to the other posters, there are states in the US where it is lower than 18.

I’m not protecting anyone, that is not my intent at all. Hell, I couldn’t care less about American celebs or whoever this guy is.

My issue is literally in the first sentence. Watering down the term doesn’t help victims of actual child sexual abuse. I’d argue it’s actually harmful.

pedos who “date” 17-year-olds

Stop watering down the term. Yucky? Sure. Pedophile? No.

Pedophilia (alternatively spelled paedophilia) is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a sexual attraction to prepubescent children. Although girls typically begin the process of puberty at age 10 or 11, and boys at age 11 or 12, psychiatric diagnostic criteria for pedophilia extend the cut-off point for prepubescence to age 13.
