Can we stop misusing the word pedo? Pedo is about being attracted to completely pre-pubescent children. Seto is very much NOT that.
No it isn't. That is one narrow and valid definition of the word, but it is not exclusive nor is the most popular. You can complain people use imprecise terms a lot with muddle discussion, but that is a semantic definition, it is not how most people use these terms. At any rate, being a predator isn't morally particularly better so it just feels like deflection to focus on said narrow definition instead of actually engaging with the argument.
Umm yes it is. There is only a single definition of the word. Calling someone a "pedo" for being interested in a high schooler is COMPLETELY WRONG. Just because people heavily misuse a word from a lack of understanding doesn't change the meaning of it. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pedophilia
Whether she is or isn't a predator is unrelated to this conversation.
A more precise use of the word is that Nanasawa is an ebophile and a predator, which is very creepy but easily to ignore in such a fantastic story. But, again, pointing out the target of her affection is post pubescent is not actually a strong defensive, it just reflects poorly on you and what you think it is acceptable.]
I'm not going to go there with that word. It's got a much more squishy definition and isn't relevant really in this case anyway.
