Who the fuck says a 14 year old isnt a child? Ive met 20 year old children, hell the entire fucking boomer generation is nothing but 60 year old children.
This is the heart of it, people with bad reading comprehension, deliberately distorting, or ignorant of or incorrect understanding of word meanings. What OP has gone over isn't him rebutting people saying 14 isn't a child, his contention is people were saying epstein wasn't a pedo from 14 not being pedophilia, which isn't the same thing as saying 14 isn't a child. I question OP's premise itself as I've not seen the argument he's arguing against, what I have seen are posts railing against pedophilia while pointing to 14-17 year olds and being corrected. People want to argue, accuse and be outraged when all that's required is looking up the definition.
"Pedo" is the word for people who have sex with children. Perhaps 14-year-olds aren't children biologically, but THEY ARE CHILDREN legally and culturally. Sex with children of any sort (whether we are talking biology, age of majority, or other indication of childhood) undermines civilization and therefore it is wrong. Therefore, it is wrong to have sex with 14-year-olds.
What is the point for making a distinction between hebephilia and pedophilia? As far as I can tell, the only reason is to excuse bad behavior.
I'm writing this not to convince you, but to help people who are on the fence.

And clearly you havent because 13+ is termed HEBEPHILIA. Pre-puberty sexual attraction is called PEDOPHILIA

No, nigger-brain, infantilizing teenagers undermines civilization and is wrong. Fucking 13 yos is normal and good.
