Not sure why it just needs to cover boomers, though. I'd rather a more generalised Wikipedia Death Watch.

The whole fixation about Epstein being a peado is lazy as fuck, technically inaccurate, detracts from the noncey shit he was actually doing, and indirectly harms attempts to make genuine paedos seek help before they potentially go on to offend.
The Stranger published a pretty decent article about it all a few years back. Labelling him a paedo is almost like claiming his actual crimes weren't sufficiently noncey, which is utter bollocks.

What's the difference between a paedo and a nonce?
( , Mon 13 Oct 2025, 19:10, Reply)

But technically, any kind of offence that would put you at risk of getting murdered by your cellmate would make you a nonce. Pretty much any offence involving a child, sexual or otherwise. Sex offences in general. Convicted coppers are all massive nonces, too. Fucking a dog would be considered pretty noncey too, I bet.

But i like the idea that getting murdered by your cellmate could be prevented by bringing up a technicality.

"Not on normal communal exercise"
Which makes sense, but I'm not planning on looking up if it's correct.

Paedophilia is a sexual attraction towards children that are not physically mature enough to have sex (prepubescent), single digit ages and a bit older
Sexual attraction towards children that are emotionally immature but not physically immature is something else, and there’s your nonces
AFAIK, Epstein's victims were the latter and he wasn't a paedophile
I can live with paedophilia being used to refer to both things by most people (not psychologists and law enforcement etc.) though because "actually, it's not paedophilia" is often used to diminish the severity of sexual abuse of underage children / minors, or just fancying them, or the disgusting things tabloids used (?) to publish before famous minors' 16th birthdays

Like the article says, it's almost 'natural' for heterosexual men to have some level of lizard-brain sexual attraction to females once they begin to present as being fertile/pubescent. It's our moral/cultural compass that decides at what age that sexual attraction becomes appropriate (18 in the UK, currently).
Being attracted to infants is something completely different. It's much more of a psychological disorder than an issue of morals. There is absolutely no evolutionary explanation for paedophilia. It's simply a case of having a faulty brain. I'm sure there are a few proper fucking wrong 'uns out there who revel in their paraphilic tendencies (Savile, Watkins, etc). But I suspect that most paedos arent paedos by choice - especially if the 1 in 50 figure is accurate.
Either way, whether its infants or adolescents, it's only really an issue of you make the choice to act on those urges. And that's always a choice.

"The main clinical terms are:
Pedophilia - Sexual attraction to prepubescent children (typically under 11-13)
Hebephilia - Sexual attraction to pubescent children (typically ages 11-14)
Ephebophilia - Sexual attraction to mid-to-late adolescents (typically ages 15-19)
These are defined by the age/developmental stage of the individual the person is attracted to. Pedophilia is recognized as a psychiatric disorder in the DSM-5, while the other terms are less formally classified but used in clinical and research contexts."
Seems there is more than I knew about. Who thought the definitions could be so nonced, sorry I meant nuanced.

I’m ok with lumping them all in together more generally as at the end of the day they’re still fucking kids.

Huw would like everyone to know that he hates paedos so much that he definitely 100% isn't one. In fact he so manifestly isn't one that he draws the line at watching Woody Allen films. Particularly Manhattan, he definitely doesn't relate to the the Allen character in that one. No sir!

I recall feeling an instinctive reaction of disgust when i first saw him on the telly as a nipper. I felt the same way about Savile too, though. Maybe I just have the gift.
Either way, I think 'Casual Anti-semitism' is probably more accurate. Apart from the Israeli settlers. I'd love to kick a few of them to death.

I went down a bit of a rabbit hole of "wtf even is pedal steel" a few months back, and it looked like it would completely break my brain if I tried to learn it.
