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.
