I don’t get it. Is this about racism or pedophilia (or both)?
It's about the kind of people who quickly defend being attracted to children as "not pedophilia" because they're technically teens. Same kind of people who know age of consent in various countries.
As funny as the joke is, it is also concerning that knowledge is still being used as a cudgel to judge people over.
We really have to stop normalizing shitting on knowledge.
... Though if they look like in OP, uh... that's using more information than knowing words to judge someone, which is fine.
Josh Johnson said something like "There may be a difference between a pedophile and an ephebophile but there's no good reason to point that out"

Ephebophilia is yearning for 15yo teens: a term to distinguish classes inside the larger class of pedophilia. Don't ask why I know that.
I only know that because of a joke made by Gianmarco Soresi
jReg for me
