I chalk this up to not having a word to describe folks suffering from the condition as opposed to predators acting on their condition (or even predators just abusing children regardless of attraction). For a ton of people they use the word pedophile to mean someone who sexually abuses children. Because as soon as nuanced discussion about "pedophiles who don't abuse kids" come up, people accuse you of "defending pedophiles" but they use it to mean "defending people who abuse children."
