Exactly. Splitting hairs and calling it an obscure word that is only ever used in a clinical setting weakens and cheapens it. just call them pedophies. don't let them redefine or spin it. just pedophile.

    Or just be accurate and call them a rapist. A child rapist.

    Pedophile already is a weakened word. Both cause it gets over used, and because it does have an actual accurate use case that doesn't accurately describe what's happened.

    Accurate terminology is always more powerful.
