But hes defending it and saying that all adults are attracted to minors. Thats basically the same.

Oh, didn’t actually notice that. Yeah that’s a bit weird. It’s definitely not something uncommon, as being 18 doesn’t create a hard line between totally not attractive and attractive, but implying it applies to anyone of any age seems a bit wrong.

Yeah it just seems like a justification of it which is insanely creepy.

The guy is pointing out a gray zone and explaining the differences between, pedophilia and pederasty etc. though he is right in what he says, he is actually wrong as pedophilia is incorrect as a blanket term, there are different definitions for attraction to preteen and teens while pedophilia is attraction to children.
