The Case Of The Internet, vs. Psyguy

[Dear President Seinfeld]

kosheh: now that you know the word ephebophile, you should also know, that it is more damning to call yourself an ephebophile than a pedophile, because it implies a self-righteous attitude.

makes sense

pardon my extreme naivete tho but do people actually do this on social media? ("i dont like kids, i'm an EPHEBOPHILE!! GET IT RIGHT") i would think admitting something like this publicly (on social media, especially) is shooting yourself in the foot

ive only seen people correct other people being called pedophiles, i.e. "actually if he raped a thirteen year old hes only an ephebophile" its a hilarious social faux pas
