In the not too distant past, my best friend found out her husband had an affair with a mid-teenager. He was careful not to break the consent age, but the whole thing is Yuk all round.

I called him a Paedophile. She argued he's not. Hebephile is the word - its still effing disgusting to have middle aged men training their sexual interests on people too young to be trusted to drink, to vote, etc.

That's some hardcore copium on your friends part. Changing the word doesn't change the action. Seeking out people half your age who are just barely over the line of consent is disgusting predatory behavior.

Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's ethical. Lots of reprehensible things have been legal at different times including the present.

Some weirdo on a Lemmy chastised me a while back for saying I thought a 40 year old dating an 18 year old was inappropriate and weird. That was exactly their logic… “it’s legal, but a 40 year old + a 14 year old isn’t, so that is immoral”. Hmm.

Only a pedophile argues about the difference between pedophilia, hebephilia, and ephebiphilia
