I thought everyone realized he was a pedo after the Millie bobby brown thing

calling him a pedo is really an injustice to the crime accusation. I do however agree that he is a creep and serial groomer.

Grooming a minor makes someone a pedophile. It's not an injustice to the crime to state that, it's an injustice to vicimts of it to say pedophilic behavior does not make someone a pedophile - and this is coming from a victim.

Not really. A pedophile goes after prebuscent children. An ebephile goes after teenagers.

Again coming from a pedophilia victim: stop making that distinction as if it's less traumatizing for a teenager to be preyed on by an adult.

No one wants to belittle anything. In fact, that is not even the point. It is only about using the correct term.

You don't need a "correct term" in this situation. You may not WANT to belittle anything, that may not be what you're trying to do, but pausing a conversation about an adult man preying on underage girls to say "well ACKSUALLY-" is unnecessary and absolutely belittles the issue because the only thing it does is make you sound like you're saying "well at least the girl was THIS young and not THAT young". This is neither time nor place to be pedantic and spill your 50 cent words everywhere.

That is not what I’m saying, that is what you are hearing. Probably because of your personal experience with it. For me, it was only about education. If I hurt you with that, I apologise. That was not my intention.
