That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
It's not a way to defend themselves...it's literally the definition of pedophilia. People that are convicted of being pedophiles aren't people that are attracted to teenagers/young adults, they're attracted to literal children (those that are 10 years old or younger).
Calling a 17 year old "a child" has a much different connotation compared to calling a 7 year old "a child". It's like calling someone that just turned 65 a "senior citizen" even though they are as active as a 50 year old, vs calling a 90 year old a "senior citizen".
If you're 22 and you say you find a 17 year old attractive there are screams of "pedophile!" even though there's only a 5 year age difference. If she was 22 and you were 27 people wouldn't bat an eye. Don't even attempt to use the argument of "17 year olds aren't emotionally mature!" because (at least in the US) we hand them guns and tell them to fight in wars, and give them licenses to drive cars.
I have explained what the word means very clearly. and nobody is convicted of Paedophilia, it's not against the law to have an attraction in your head, it's the acts that are against the law.
The rest of your comment just seems to be justifying paedophilia.
