Comment on MAGA, splitting hairs.
MTZ@lemmy.world 17 hours agoExactly. Splitting hairs and calling it an obscure word that is only ever used in a textbook 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.

As I said in my comment the pedophile label makes sense here. Although they’re both. People use them interchangeably for some reason.
