The most misused word in the world. Remember guys, a pedophile is someone who is attracted to prepubescent children. That is it. That is as far as the definition goes. Many pedophiles aren't too much different from normal people, and you really aren't doing any good by sending them
death threats or something.
People CONSTANTLY use it as a synonym for child molesters, or child groomers, etc. This is a problem, since the word will eventually lose its meaning (it
practically already has), and people will be left confused by whether one means someone who is attracted to children, people who perform sexual activities with children, or people who groom children. This could lead to completely
innocent people being put on blast for the sole reason that they have an attraction to children. I should not have to explain why this is bad.
Also, child molesters are NOT inherently pedophiles. They often just see children as easier prey.
