I would just call him a child rapist. IMO that actually sounds worse than "pedophile" because you could apply the latter to someone who was attracted to minors but didn't rape any.

Regardless of his attraction, he raped children, so he's a child rapist.

keeping it very old school, i see. i like it.

See, the distinction between a pedophile, hebephile and ephebophile exists for a good reason.

But the thing is, the moment you start getting into those differences, it immediately makes you sound like a pedophile.

This distinction only means something for psychology.

And I get that the vast majority of child rapes happen because children are more vulnerable HOWEVER at some point you can just afford an adult prostitute 1000 times over if you actually want that. It's clear that these people actually wanted to rape children. So the pedophile label makes sense.

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.

What was the word he was about to say?

I don't understand how they can even defend it. Best case scenario they are saying that raping women is perfectly fine as long as they're old enough. I get that with some of the extreme MAGA out there really do believe this kinda shit, but I'm sure bullshit like this is why we see more and more people leaving MAGA every day. It's no surprise that Republicans are getting absolutely destroyed in almost every election lately when you see what they act like and I feel like that will be their eventual downfall. They see these echo chambers online and believe that is an actual representation of what all republican voters think. A lot of people seem to forget, but most people still sit somewhere in the middle especially outside the internet. There's still an argument to be had about how ignorant people were when it came to the election last year, but bitching about what already happened is never going to get us moving forward.

And trafficking! Trump’s base was on a mission to root out pedos AND sex traffickers. This is at the core of the awful things Epstein was found guilty of. Take away the pedophilia and you still have monstrous behavior that should be dealt with harshly.

The right wing party, to an astonishing degree, cozies up with and funds literal extremist organizations en masse. the left went for more social and peaceful methods, while the right wing only ramped up the mayhem. that's one of the reasons that since the late 70's there has been absolutely no element of left wing organized terror (only a few lone wolf attacks and ecoterrorism), while there is always, at any given point in time, a number of organized, well equipped extremist organizations on the right engaging in all types of activities..... political violence, stochastic terrorism, radical violence, misogynstic violence, massive amounts of disinfo, and countless other activities.

No, not all individuals who are conservative subscribe to or even know about this. But the party itself is absolute cancer of the worst degree possible. they are not nearly as benign and harmless as you think. .
