"As always, pedophilia is not the same as ephebophilia." - Eliezer Yudkowsky, actual quote
(www.lesswrong.com)
Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
It's worth noting that miricult.com went live about a year after Yudkowsky posted that.
HMM
I knew this thread would attract the fucking weirdos. drink!
Yeah, I'm a weirdo for thinking that fucking children is evil. I work in IT, I've seen some things that still turn my stomach. Don't water down the term pedophilia.
I'm not defending anyone who goes after people who can't or don't consent. But don't normalize the word pedophilia by using it to describe attraction to adult shaped people. It's vile.
As opposed to normalizing it by talking about it all the god damned time, for example by using it in your thought experiments instead of literally any other criminal compulsion.
I'm sorry to say the only people who care are paedophiles and people who've been hoodwinked by paedophiles. Your phrasing compels me to assume you're the former.
The people who don't understand the difference are people who don't really understand how bad child sexual abuse is.
Yes, being attracted to someone with a child shaped body is worse than being attracted to someone with an adult shaped body. Ffs. That's literally what pedophilia is.
