I just want to say that our language use has now been so poisoned by a child predator being called "pedophiles" because "pedo" is greek for child that we attribute just the word to a child predator. IMO pedophile is a bad word because there is zero love involved, they are child predators.

Any root related to sex or sexuality has been perverted in English, or at least American English.

Just saying Homo means homosexual, trans means transexual, bi means bisexual, poly means polyamorous, and to MAGA, the word pronoun is more triggering than a swastika.

If someone claims to not have any pronouns, always refer to them by their name.

No, "Hi Jeff, how was your day? Did you pick up your package?"

It's, "Hi Jeff, how was Jeff's day? Did Jeff pick up Jeff's package?"

If you don't know their name, make up a descriptive one, be creative!

..? paraphilias are usually sexual in nature, not love based. “pedophile” is the right word for the act of being sexually attracted to children.

Bibliophile means someone who loves/likes books. I'm guessing that's their point. That "phile" has been corrupted by sexual connotations.

[-] chosensilence@pawb.social 1 points 1 month ago

has it though? the -phile suffix isn’t what designates it as sexual. it’s being considered a paraphilia.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

So a pedophile is somebody who loves children, in a good wholesome way, like kindergarten teachers we have fond memories of.

Pedo predators are the bad people who belong in prison.

Ok but seriously "-phile" implies a CRAZED over-the-top unhealthy fixation with something.

Bibliophile? That's great that you love reading books but you probably should find some balance in your life and get out into the world more.

Cinephile? That's great that you enjoy all things cinema, but you should probably find some balance in your life and get out into the world more.

Etc 😄

Reminds me of the word "fan" which sounds mild when someone describes themselves as a fan of something, but it's short for fanatic!
