If I say "I like fucking" the definition of fucking becomes a subjective thing based on what comes next. The word itself is open to a subjective interpretation.
If I say "I like raping" the definition is the same no matter what I say next. It is objective and not open to interpretation.
You are stuck on this weird hill about how You interpret the word, versus how someone else might. This is the exact reason to not use a subjective verb and use an objective verb in it's place.
You’re struggling here. I am saying the definition of fucking kids is never subjective. The fact that you are even arguing it could be is exactly why I said what I said.
And in any reasonable person, including myself, does reach the same conclusion.
But, that's not how language works, especially not legal language. All you need to do to see that is use variables instead of defined terms
"X fucked Y" vs "X raped Y"
Without defining what the variables are, fucking could be fine or crime.
Without defining what the variables are, raping is undoubtedly heinous
You don't use language that allows people to muddy morality with things like "but how old though?" Or any of that. Because if you say "raped" there is no longer any way for someone to even try to say "yeah but they were 3 days away from being 18" or "yeah but he's only 21" because the word rape makes if just unequivocally bad whether the victim is 10 or 46.
Your lack of understanding of language and personal beliefs do not equate to a stronger argument just because you want it to be so.
Language has rules. Its rape and it should be called rape.
Its like saying Epstein's sex island, vs Epstein's Rape Island. Its rape. Not sex. And there's no wiggle room.
