[Theendoftheline]

I'm in an osint server right? Well they keep saying "go after this or that guy he's a pedo"......do I even want know what they mean by "pedo" lol.most of those guys prolly 100 percent went after or got into it with girls already past puberty just "under 18" I don't even ask lol as I'm not having a buncha osint people label me as "a problem" and try to dox me. Anyway not sure why I made this topic just kinda rage baiting myself I guess XD.

I often feel that it's an attempt to erase the concept of puberty so as to deny the 'obvious' implications when it comes to the idea that it's wrong to sexualize people for fundamentally age-related reasons. If that's not the intention, lumping 15-year-olds in with 5-year-olds actually does that ('erase' the concept of puberty).

Yeahhhh I go on and on and on and on about this topic on this site lol as you can see. I just don't understand how normies think especially these days and it's baffling to me that 16 to 17 yos seem to be losing a LOT of bodily autonomy these days in favor of extended adolescence. I've seen teens that age publiclally denounce sex on social media on the baises that they view themselves "literal children".

This is the most likely way for paedophilia to eventually be accepted in the future, tho. By the time everyone is a pedo, it will no longer be frowned upon to be one.

Excellent point. The term 'paedo' is highly stigmatised now, and (often falsely) associated with criminality. But yes, if nearly everyone is called a 'paedo,' the term loses its bite. And loses its meaning. We've seen this happen with some other controversial terms in recent politics.

I still don't personally like the term, since it's not really our language, it is the language of our enemies.

The term pedo is misused in general now, used to mean prepubescent kids only now it means anyone under 18 to the vast majority of normies.

The same thing happened to the words 'gay,' 'queer,' 'homo,' 'faggot', 'racist', 'Nazi', 'anti-semite' 'communist' 'commie' etc

Being labelled a 'pedo' today is like being labelled a queer or a commie in the 1950s.

It's 'misused' in far more ways than that.

Indeed.

how so? I'm curious

• Conflating paedophilia with child sex abuse

• Equating paedophilia with violence/sadism

• Confusing paedophiles with situational offenders

• Assuming that attraction = action

• Pathologising the term as a 'disorder'

• Using the term as an insult

But then again, who am I to 'correct' the usage of a term created by our enemies?

Contrary to popular belief, the word 'paedophile' was NOT created by the Ancient Greeks. The term as we know it today was defined and popularised by a German forensic psychiatrist in the 1896 edition of 'Psychopathia Sexualis' (literally 'Psychopathic Sexuality'). Knowing the problematic 'clinical' origins of its definition, I simply cannot understand why so many child lovers insist on using that term to identify themselves. It is NOT our term!
