The definition of paraphilia is "a condition characterized by abnormal sexual desires, typically involving extreme or dangerous activities.", which can inclde pedophilia.
The term is real, it's even used in scientific literature. The term possibly even predates 4chan, or maybe it's just a success on 4chan's part, successfully laundering a term into scientific discourse? It's hard to find too much solid evidence on the origin of the term. 4chan did seriously signal boost it with the whole "MAP Pride" thing though.
Anti-unnecessary terms. Changing "child porn" (or CP) to "CSAM" is a ridiculous, confusing, and unnecessary thing. And it takes effort away from meaningful action.
If you can't understand the difference between "porn" and "child porn", that's a problem that can't be fixed by calling it CSAM. Because the problem is you're either a pedophile or an idiot.
Some ladder climbing asshole got published or tenured or promoted or something for inventing a new bullshit term. That's the only reason it exists.
Making of a big deal about it is what takes away effort from meaningful action. Nobody is taking time out of their day over this issue but you. This is silly.
Its some bullshit cooked up by internet trolls, and accepted and used by right wing propagandists, as the latest thing to use to try and paint gay people as pedophiles.
When, historically, we know the actual pedophiles are the ones falsely claiming gays are the danger to children.
It's inclusive of both pedophiles and hebephiles - that is, prepubescent vs. pubescent children.
So, it's got that going for it. Treating them both the same.
Unfortunately, it's also used to obfuscate the fact that a MAP is a pedophile/hebephile. Which is bad.
There are people who have messed up brains, who are attracted to kids, and hate themselves for it. They seek help (usually through lots of chemical treatments), and use the term MAP to separate themselves from the pedos. Unfortunately, pedos use the term MAP to hide the fact they're pedos, so... 🤷
People like you are actually scum. Guy just answers a fucking question and some chode like you comes out of nowhere to call him a pedophile for it. He never said anything remotely in agreement with any of it. Fuck yourself and every other piece of shit that drops the word pedophile on anyone they don't like. Pedophiles are real and they hurt real people and you using it as a word for anyone at random diminishes it's purpose.
Tell us you're not actually paying attention without telling us you're not actually paying attention

This is a lie meant to make pedophiles come off as sympathetic. They're ALL terrible and there is no distinction between one pedo and another. If there's anything that horrific instance should have shown anyone, it's that. Any pedo who claims they hate themselves for it and are getting therapy are lying to you.
Maybe actually read what's being said before blowing a gasket.
Yeah, I'm sure someone who won't put up with you trying to frame pedophiles in a positive light would be a monster in your eyes. Can't have anyone actually hold the pond scum you're protecting accountable in any meaningful way. How else would you fulfill your pathological need to feel needed?
You keep living up to your namesake and you're going to find yourself in a gutter with a crack pipe and an empty bottle of Jim Beam, dude. Seriously.
You're a horrible person and I hope you never have to truly understand why what you're doing is fucking horrible because that entails another child being harmed, but I do hope you get called a pedophile for no fucking reason in public and everyone just takes it at face value. Scumbag.
Yeah, children being raped is really funny to you? I'm really not sure what your purpose is other than to be offensive if you really think now is the time to say it's all just for laughs.
To be fair, it is not politically correct language, actually it's language that's commonly frowned upon in all circles. But basically as long as the LGBT rights movements have existed with any level of mainstream visibility in America, there have been organizations like NAMBLA and the like that have been trying to piggyback off of them...
And it pretty much ends the same way, with the pedophiles being shown the door.
Incidentally this is what the early South Park episode about the National Association of Marlon Brando Look Alikes getting mad at NAMBLA (the irl NAtional Man Boy Love Association) for stealing their acronym is poking fun at.
