The context of this tweet makes it even worse. The tweet you posted is part of a tweet thread where Peter tries to argue that Epstein was not a pedophile.
“If you ignore the definition of a word and change the definition to something else entirely, then it’s not the meaning of the word.”
I hate these fucking “Ummm ackshully…” debatelord libertarians. Him and the thousand people who liked his post need to be lined up against a wall and shot. I mean that literally, FBI agent reading this. Fuck these snakes.
If you feel the need to point out the difference between pedophilia and hebephilia you’re probably a pedophile.
If you do it because you just confessed to being a hebephile, you’re definitely a pedophile.
Teens are kids, you can’t change my mind.
Even without seeing that my first guess was dead on: they think it’s a vice, like just a little crime that special good boy rich white patriarchs can do as a treat, and are very, very invested in insisting that it’s not disordered and it doesn’t make them other and weird. Crimes against people they see as beneath them are just fun little treats that rich guys get to do as long as they don’t piss off the wrong people, but having something wrong with them? The very notion of it is deeply offensive to their fragile little egos.
this dude needs a swift, knuckle-first slap in the mouth
and probably a whole lot more
“Well I’m not technically wrong” yeah but you’re still arguing for something nobody should approve of so fuck off?
Yeah its not the textbook definition of “pedophile” but the cultural definition says its “pedophilia” and is condemned as imbalanced and immoral.
Ask this person if they are capable of understanding why they don’t call cigarettes “f*ggots” despite it being “tEcHnIcALlY tRuE.”
Because you have a cultural, socially determined definition, Pete. You fucking pedantic dweeb.
We all know what you are doing. You know what you are doing.
Linguistic prescriptivising one’s way into a prison cell would be pretty funny if a cop would do something productive for once and arrest this sex pervert.
Holy shit he’s actually doing the “actually it’s ephebophilia” meme
hes also saying he did it too
It’s not even true that he only trafficked teenagers, a lot of his victims were even younger.
Also gonna hit him on the semantic part here because why not but I remember seeing a documentary a long time ago about a rural village in an impoverished nation where girls were constantly developing incontinence issues and other long-term injuries because they were often giving birth at 14-15 and some anglo documentarian was saying how even waiting until they were 16 would have greatly reduced these rates because their bodies were too small and undeveloped (
). So no Peter, 14-17 is not fucking “developed sexually” 
When i was in college I Killed and Ate people. That doesn’t make me a cannibal!
I didn’t eat people, I ate corpses
Don’t you see the difference! I’m just pointing out the difference! Why are you getting mad at me for my pedantic semantics!!
pedantphile
And, for an instant, she stared directly into those soft blue eyes and knew, with an instinctive mammalian certainty, that the exceedingly rich were no longer even remotely human.
I need to read Count Zero again
It gets worse (CW: CSA)
i thought he was going to be
18 year old with a 17 year old ro,eo and juliet law guy, but he’s actually pedo with a thesaurus guyIt’s not pedo, it’s just sparkling grooming of minors for sexual exploitation. There was grass on the field, so it’s fine actually.
Ephebophiles also deserve to get shot
“i may have commited SA against actual children, but at least i have Normal Healthy Male Sexuality”
In a just society, this tweet would have prompted an arrest. Openly admitting to this kind of crime, so brazen.
I’d say it’s wild how reactionaries are so insistent on trying to draw a line between pedophilia (the predatory crime) and pedophilia (the disorder), but it really makes perfect sense: they revel in hurting others, they revel in having power over others and abusing that power, and they don’t care about consent in the first place, but they will be absolutely livid if you suggest there’s something wrong with them that makes them weird and bad.
There’s also the extreme normalization of teenage girls as “acceptable” targets for adult men that all these fascists grew up immersed in, and which realistically has only started breaking down bit by bit in the past 20-30 years. To them preying on teenage girls is a socially acceptable vice like day drinking or doing rich guy drugs, because the world revolves around their own libertine treat lust and they perceive themselves as the sole arbiters of what is “normal”, which makes them confused and angry when someone starts telling them that preying on their choice victims is not only bad but it makes them weird and other. It’s one big mess of misogyny and libertine sociopathy and toxic masculine posturing/fragility.
What the fuck did I just read
deleted by creator
that’s exactly what that means tho
who’s this pedo and what makes him important enough to not be immediately arrested?
google says libertarian
it would be funny if the subject matter were not about the sexual assault of minors
google says libertarian
Well yeah, I could tell from what he posted
I think on some level I still thought the “actually it’s ephebophilia” bit was an exaggeration
I want some kind of emoji or something to use as a response to this type of comment that flags it as like… the moment when a Fallout NPC says something that makes you open V.A.T.S. and target their head as soon as the dialog finishes.
- ?
Hmmm maybe Caesar/House/Kimball/other NPC with their head highlighted in VATS? Might be a good set of emojis
It’s sad honestly because anyone with two brain cells can figure out that only a pedo would start a semanic argument about the word “pedophile.”
It’s a pretty simple concept that applies to pretty much any pseudo intellectual trying to escape a negative label.
Western “values” folks
You mean to tell me QAnon was a massive psyop of projection by brazen pedophiles to paint their opposition as the real ones?
