I know this is bait, but it legitimately bugs me that there are people who actually think this. Pedophilia isn't wrong because of an age gap, it's not decided based on arbitrary regional age of majority - even age of consent is not the determiner for what is or isn't pedophilia. These are legal conventions which have ethical significance, but are unrelated to the clinical mental condition of pedophilia. The average AoC in the US in parts of the 1800s was like 10; it has literally nothing to do with determining what is or isn't pedophilia.
Pedophilia is the attraction to prepubescent children. It is wrong not because of an age gap, not even because of a power gap, but because prepubescent children are physically incapable of understanding sex the way adults (people who've completed puberty) can. The exceptions are usually children who've been seriously abused - most children, most prepubescent children, do not process sexual stimuli in the same way as adults, they do not have adult libidos. A child who has been raped at a very young age might not even fully understand what happened to them until they reach puberty. This is why pedophilia is pedophilia; this is what makes it fundamentally wrong. It is not a crime which any sane adult can commit by accident. You don't go "oopsie, I fucked a 6-year-old," nobody ever forgets to check ID and accidentally fucks a 9-year-old. That's what pedophilia is; it's a real thing, it's really bad, and I wish moralfags would stop throwing the fucking word around when they clearly don't understand it.
