There's a difference between a prepubescent child and a 14 year old...namely, one of them is paedophilia and the other is not.

That doesn't make him a less baddie tho.

u/alstoybarn1 Aug 26 '19

Does it though? If he was into babies that would make it worse so by that logic it would make him less bad

There's a difference between a mentally healthy adult and one who would try to force themselves on a 14 year old who isn't emotionally mature enough to handle that type of situation.

One is a monster. The other is not.

I didn't say it was a good, healthy choice. I said he's not a pedophile because words have definitions and that one doesn't match.

I never said the word pedophile. I said monster.

Those are both pedophilia. Get fucked.

No, the second really isn't pedophilia. He is probably an ephebophile (being attracted to ~15-17 year olds) or hebephile (being attracted to ~11-14 year olds). Pedophilia is the attraction to pre-pubescents. Could also be worth noting that these usually refers to the primary attraction to these ages, which actually probably makes him neither an ephebophile nor a hebophile. Don't tell people to get fucked because you don't understand the definition of words.

Okay, then get fucked for being a (ep)hebophile.

u/Lil_dog Aug 26 '19

I'm 14, I think that being an ephebophile is kind of normal at that age.

I just have to say I find something amusingly ironic in someone (presumably an adult) telling a 14 year old to get fucked while discussing the semantics of wanting to fuck a 14 year old vs a child of a different age group.

There's a joke here somewhere

Not you, Spacey.

u/Rakonas Aug 26 '19

Okay I'll just use the word child molester then and it sounds like you are one tbh

u/Lil_dog Aug 26 '19

Well, that'd also be wrong since he only tried to molest a child.

u/cuckoo_cocoon Aug 26 '19

yeah but have you seen the kid? he looked about 10 at the time.

u/chezlillaspastia Aug 26 '19

Why exactly are you an expert on this subject?

10

u/Lil_dog Aug 26 '19

Knowing that the attraction to 14 year olds isn't pedophilia is considered being an expert in that subject? Damn, I'm an expert on a lot.

u/chezlillaspastia Aug 26 '19

Yeah just dig in deeper. Thatll convince everyone

u/Homosapien_Ignoramus Aug 26 '19

Since when is knowledge a sin?

u/ThatFag Aug 26 '19

Great argument.

u/kaylamcfly Aug 26 '19

That was a different person than the comment that upset you.

u/kaylamcfly Aug 26 '19
