I just want to say that our language use has now been so poisoned by a child predator being called “pedophiles” because “pedo” is greek for child that we attribute just the word to a child predator. IMO pedofile is a bad word because there is zero love involved, they are child predators.

the term “child rapist” is also fair

Any root related to sex or sexuality has been perverted in English, or at least American English.
Just saying Homo means homosexual, trans means transexual, bi means bisexual, poly means polyamorous, and to MAGA, the word pronoun is more triggering than a swastika.

…? paraphilias are usually sexual in nature, not love based. “pedophile” is the right word for the act of being sexually attracted to children.

Bibliophile means someone who loves/likes books. I’m guessing that’s their point. That “phile” has been corrupted by sexual connotations.

Languages evolve in weird ways. Pedophile comes from “pedo” child and “phile” for love. It could just be a mother or father, someone who loves children. But, it has been used to describe people who love children, but in the wrong way. Similarly, homophobe has been used for people who hate gays, but the “phobe” part is about fear not hate. Also, “homo” isn’t necessarily homosexual, it could be homogeniety. Homophobes could be people who are afraid of people of their own race, but instead we’ve decided it’s the term to use for people who hate or are angry at homosexuality.

It’s a more inclusive term because “child predator” and “child rapist” all require since verifiable action on the person’s part. It’s a person who is sexually attracted to children and just looks at like AI generated CSM not audio a pedophile, despite not actually directly harming children?

Include Robert F-up Kennedy, too, since this is a CDC (children’s dental center)

I mean, I can see what they were going for here, sure… But this probably had to have - what - likev a half dozen or so (allegedly ⁷functioning) adults review all of this, likely discuss it amongst themselves to boot… Anyway, all of that and still - yadda yadda yadda - we make it through all of that without a single motherfucker being like, “So, ya don’t think the name will attract any… undesirable elements for a care center or anything like that?”

“Pedo Planet” sounds like the name of some CSAM distributor you can find on the dark web or similar place. Giving that name to your dentistry will guarantee that some people will try to investigate your business.
