What’s the phrase? Something like it’s hard to explain the difference between a pedophile and a phebophile without sounding like a pedophile.

An arbitrary distinction when it colloquially means, attracted to children/minors.

    People's minds go to the worst possible scenario when you say "convicted pedophile," or at least mine did. I don't think the distinction between diddling elementary schoolers and taking pictures of a high schooler is arbitrary.

    I'm not defending Jones, he can go to hell. I'm just adding context to a thread that contained misinformation.
