I'm not suggesting you're doing it specifically. I'm saying generally if you feel the need to make that distinction in your normal day to day life, you're almost certainly a sexual predator.
Or any number of psychology related or adjacent professions, or just well read.
What is really really weird is that you seemingly equivocate ephebephilia and hebephilia as some lesser crime. They are all equally child abuse. There is no lesser crime being implied here. All punishable the same. All irreperably damaging to the victims.
You got some serious issues to work out. Imagine a courtroom where the lawyer present evidence of the accused stabbing someone, then you stand up in the gallery and scream accusing the lawyer of being a murderer because he said the accused stabbed the victim, rather than shot the victim. Ridiculous right? That's what you're doing.
Your saying generally that being correct, accurate and precise with the nature of the crime means the lawyers, judge, medical practitioners testifying and anyone with a loose awareness of standards and terminology are murderers in my analogy.
Did you know there is an entire section in wikipedia on various forms of chronophilia You better report the researchers, the writers of the articles, the publishers of textbooks, the entire psychology profession and anyone who clicked that link for sex crimes against children.
Your bigotry is insane. Get help.
Ok, you caught me. I'm prejudiced against pedophiles and pedophile enablers, and I'm not sorry. If that offends you, I assume you're a member of one of those two groups, and I don't want to continue talking with you. I suppose that's a sort of bigotry, but I'm not really worried what you think or what offends pedophiles and pedophile enablers.
Get help. You baselessly accuse others and definitely doth protest too much.
I didn't accuse you of anything. I said people who defend pedophiles are bad people. You jumped in to be like "No, we're not!" If what I said offended you because I said I don't like pedophile enablers (or pedophiles), then that's you telling on yourself.
In the same blurb where you claim you didn't accuse me, you accuse me, while continuously mischaracterizing everything said. Welcome to the ban list. Bye bye!
Again, I didn't accuse you of shit. I said pedophile enablers are bad people, and you volunteered to be offended. That's on you if you felt accused of being shitty. If that's what you're about, then I really don't care what you think of what I said.
