Nah, I'm just saying I don't feel uncomfortable calling someone who preys on children a pedophile, cause they're gross either way
Allow me to recite the third sentence of that Wikipedia article you linked since reading comprehension doesn't seem to be your strong suit:
"The legal definition of child generally refers to a minor, otherwise known as a person younger than the age of majority.[1] Children generally have fewer rights and responsibilities than adults. They are classed as unable to make serious decisions." such as sex with a grown man
I was using the legal (and very commonly used, btw) definition of child, since *acting on pedophilia is illegal. I'm not normalizing anything by comparing them to pedophiles, youre the one trying to normalize sexual relations with people under 18
Lol Im very against all of those things, thinking minors shouldn't be sexualized by adults has nothing to do with any of those terms you rattled off. Go fuck your underage waifu pillow
