    I would just call him a child rapist. IMO that actually sounds worse than “pedophile” because you could apply the latter to someone who was attracted to minors but didn’t rape any.

    Regardless of his attraction, he raped children, so he’s a child rapist.

      pedophile, hebephile and ephebophile, are after all just terms for someone with a sexual attraction disability. Typically due to a hormonal issue, trauma or mental disability.

      A child rapist is someone who fucks minors and should be locked up for life if not put down. With a list of exceptions that a reasonable person can count on one hand.

      While no one reasonable goanna call two high school seniors fucking when ones 17 and the other is two months older at 18. A child rapist.

      A fat old fuck doing it sure the fuck is.

      We should really start calling things by what they are and not misusing terminology. Makes it less impactful.

      “Child rapist” also applies to people who aren’t actually sexually attracted to children, but rape children anyways, which is more common than people think, because rape isn’t usually actually about the sex, it’s about the power

    After the normalisation of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, white-supremacy, maga is now explaining us how raping kids is not actually pedophilia. Or if it is it’s because those kids where beging for it. And if they didn’t they just deserved it and the age of consent is a woke concept anyway.

    Lol, pedo-prez supporters have been working overtime to protect their pedo-leader. No surprise that this old libertarian “I’m not really a pedophile even though I want to rape minors” chestnut came back.

    Gonna have to change the meaning of POTUS, given the head of our country is now the Pedophile of the United States

    My take on this is that pedophilia encompasses sex with minors a whole, and then you have your subtypes.

    Don’t really care if this is technically accurate or not. It dodges the semantic bullshit pedophiles use.

    I don’t understand how they can even defend it. Best case scenario they are saying that raping women is perfectly fine as long as they’re old enough. I get that with some of the extreme MAGA out there really do believe this kinda shit, but I’m sure bullshit like this is why we see more and more people leaving MAGA every day. It’s no surprise that Republicans are getting absolutely destroyed in almost every election lately when you see what they act like and I feel like that will be their eventual downfall. They see these echo chambers online and believe that is an actual representation of what all republican voters think. A lot of people seem to forget, but most people still sit somewhere in the middle especially outside the internet. There’s still an argument to be had about how ignorant people were when it came to the election last year, but bitching about what already happened is never going to get us moving forward.

      And trafficking! Trump’s base was on a mission to root out pedos AND sex traffickers. This is at the core of the awful things Epstein was found guilty of. Take away the pedophilia and you still have monstrous behavior that should be dealt with harshly.

      The right wing party, to an astonishing degree, cozies up with and funds literal extremist organizations en masse. the left went for more social and peaceful methods, while the right wing only ramped up the mayhem. that’s one of the reasons that since the late 70’s there has been absolutely no element of left wing organized terror (only a few lone wolf attacks and ecoterrorism), while there is always, at any given point in time, a number of organized, well equipped extremist organizations on the right engaging in all types of activities… political violence, stochastic terrorism, radical violence, misogynstic violence, massive amounts of disinfo, and countless other activities.

      No, not all individuals who are conservative subscribe to or even know about this. But the party itself is absolute cancer of the worst degree possible. they are not nearly as benign and harmless as you think. .
