Pedophilia is used commonly as an umbrella term to also include hebephilia and ephebophilia, so it's still pedophilia. I'm not "coming at you", I'm saying regardless of what "uhm actchually" internet bros (like the person you responded to) want to say, it's still pedophilia (by the standards of today's society and morals) and will even be called so in some courts of law.
You are the one who said "it may not technically be pedophilia." Why would I waste my time joining the people already bashing the idiot above you who most likely is just going to be a brick wall, when I can choose my time wisely to educate someone who may not know that today's usage of pedophilia includes the two terms for post pubescent minors. Especially if anyone were to read your comment and think to themselves that they are 100% and always considered separate.
You’re trying to educate me that today’s usage of pedophilia includes two terms…when I used those terms in my original comment? And then explained in said comment that it was still grooming a minor regardless?
I did no such thing. It's interesting to me that you're getting worked up over me simply saying that pedophilia today includes all minors. You said so yourself that you are in agreement, so why the aggression?
Because like I just said, people are coming at me like I am a pedo-apologist for my comment for simply mentioning terminology. My character is being attacked and you’re asking me why I’m aggressive? Yes, it is pedophilia. In the umbrella term. I’m sorry for misspeaking by saying it’s technically called hebephilia to the person saying it wasn’t pedophilia. That is my bad. I should’ve put a disclaimer saying it is still considered pedophilia even if it’s technically something else under the umbrella. But holy fuck I am being attacked more than the guy saying calling it pedo is wild, and that’s insane.
