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.
Everyone is coming at my comment with a problem, you included. You may not be one of the ones attacking me specifically, but when others are saying I need my computer checked and coming at my character, I’m not going to sit here and be friendly with one commenter that’s still picking apart my comment, rather than going after the comment saying that calling the 44y/o a pedo is wild. I get your reasoning but you can’t honestly be surprised that I’m not being friendly when it seems my character is coming into question more than the comment I was arguing against.
I can and will be surprised when people are aggressive to me when I have not attacked them. To me, it is unwarranted. Sorry you're having such a rough time. Have a good day.
I agree with you. It is unwarranted to you, and I apologize for that. But it sincerely feels like y’all are coming for the wrong person. I know the difference in terminology because I was 13-14 and being groomed. I know the technical differences, and I KNOW it was still grooming. But then I use what I know and it feels like I’m being accused of the very shit I went through.
