    Oh my god

    Nobody is talking past anyone. Pedophilia just colloquially means kiddie pervert. Nobody talking about specific kiddie perverts is getting confused like "OH I thought you meant he was a PEDO but it was only HEBEPHEBEPHEHEHBE this changes EVERYTHING!" it just means the same thing.

    "a PEDO was trying to molest a 14 year old" is not some distortion or mistake that makes any person not understand what is happening.

    Whether the judge and jury need to throw up in their mouths with slightly more frequency is not a practical distinction and that's exactly why those terms are nearly useless and became compressed into one.

    Notice how "Child murderer" doesn't have 3 or 4 age subcategories? We can still just read what their age was and get more disturbed if we feel like it. What are you gonna start calling it "Hebecide" what the fuck
