        “Pedophilia” is a psychological term, not a legal one. Perhaps you are looking for “rape.”

        Treating “pedophile” as a synonym for “child molester” is like treating “schizophrenic” as a synonym for “axe murder”. Using psychological conditions as slurs and everyday metaphors is harmful.

        Explain how I’m wrong? Or did you think banging a 17 year old is literally pedophilia?

        It’s annoying when right wing weirdos label everyone that disagrees with them a pedo, it’s not any less annoying when it’s done by everyone else.

          Arguing that wanting to have sex with a minor is anything but is a take, and definitely has me glad Boost supports user tagging.
