You seem very wise and it’s a shame to see you gave up on things like this. One thing is to not care another is to completely give up in despair…
For me it is not about the word, it is about the impact on the world it has when the word isn’t used correctly. Quite literally there is more kids being abused because people misuse this word. And I would personally feel sick giving up on that (not trying to say you should, I get that everyone can’t fight every battle). So my only ask is even if you don’t want to fight some specific battle, don’t stop others from doing so :D
Quite literally there is more kids being abused because people misuse this word.
No. Absolutely not. People abuse kids because their power and gratification is more important to them than children’s lives. They don’t give a shit about the meaning of words.
You seem to miss my point. When people misuse the word pedophile (what they usually mean is predator) they make it harder for pedophiles to get the help they need and thus creating more predators. Of course I’m not defending them here, it is entirely their own fault, but that doesn’t change the fact that misusing this word and shaming them for feelings that they don’t act upon is making it worse.
