An often misused word to refer to both Child-Lovers, and Child-Abusers alike.
In its original meaning, it simply meant to be attracted to children (
paedo).
However, this term has been blatantly abused, and now
blankets both those who like to make the world
a better place for kids, and those who only seek their own desires, at the harm of kids.
The former should not be blamed for what the later should be caught and severely punished for.
A: "
Paedophiles are Sick Scum and should die"
B: "But then, who would teach
the children's classes, help those
unruly, and run children's charities?"
A: "Those who HATE children! Like me"
