Yeah, that was about what I thought it was...
Same with the attempt to make people call pedophiles "MAP"s instead. (For those who haven't been made aware of the abbreviation; it is meant to stand for "Minor Attracted Person". While it's a more broad term than pedophile, since it includes the other age ranges (Something like hebephile and such, I don't remember them all, learned about it from a joke a comedian told), for normal conversations I think pedophile works fine for talking about everyone attracted to people below a certain age of which we (society) deem them capable of consenting to some things)
