In case anyone is wondering, it's rqd2.

The definition of paraphilia is "a condition characterized by abnormal sexual desires, typically involving extreme or dangerous activities.", which can inclde pedophilia.

It has recieved 4 censures from fediseer due to the content contained on that instance

Not a good look for Lemmy to be promoting any instance like that.

You can see for yourself here

Update: A pull request was sent to remove the sus instance. It should no longer show up soon

It's not real, it was a joke made by 4chan that stuck. Nobody is actually using that term unless they're a pedophile

There are actual retards out in the wild that use the term to describe pedophiles unironically. No one likes them. Bully them.

The term is real, it's even used in scientific literature. The term possibly even predates 4chan, or maybe it's just a success on 4chan's part, successfully laundering a term into scientific discourse? It's hard to find too much solid evidence on the origin of the term. 4chan did seriously signal boost it with the whole "MAP Pride" thing though.
