Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
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.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

If you're the type to needlessly argue the difference, you're putting a very distinct hat on that says "I am emotionally invested in people's perception of child abusers" and I say child abusers as a catch-all for those who are in any way attracted to kids. Because pedos and child rapists are in the same group whether they touch kids or not.
It's similar, in my mind at least, to trying to separate the original WW2 nazis from modern day nazis by saying "The modern ones aren't gassing minorities and invading poland so you HAVE to clarify which one's you're talking about." As if they weren't all part of the same group.
In terms of what I'm actually trying to get across; be very wary of who you defend when trying to police speech, especially on the internet.
I understand nuance is a thing but even I had to stop myself from assuming you're the same as the "ackshually its ephebophilia so they're not a pedo" crowd
