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.

Person 1: ALL PEDOPHILES SHOULD GO TO JAIL!
Person 2: No, dude! That would be throwing someone in jail purely for what they think about certain people!

Get the pedophile mug.A pedophile is an adult attracted to children.
Which is different from an adult molesting a child, raping a child, or taking innapropriate pictures/videos of a child. Though if that were to happen the person who did the act was most likely (like 99% likely, because what kind of normal person would do that) a pedophile.

Get the Pedophile mug.A person who is attracted to people who are over 18 but still appear underage. This doesn't necessarily apply to those in the age ranges of 18-19, but even those aged 20+ who may also look surprisingly underage.
A lot of people state that many 18-year-olds don't look like they're over 18, but even then I've actually witnessed some 21-year-old women in bars who look like they're still in high school. My point is that some people (whether they're 18, 19, 20, or even 21) can look underage and it's already enough for people to call you a pseudo-pedophile.
