I’ve just heard someone use the phrase “minor attracted”. Excuse me but that’s called paedophilia and should never be tried to be legitimised by changing the language.

@philbowell Ever heard of NAMBLA? Pedophilia is the next taboo to smash, and "minor-attracted" is a calculated euphemism.

@ReaderJohn I have not. To be blunt, it’s evil, as is the calculated change of language to “minor attracted”.

@ReaderJohn calculated: "minor" is a legal concept, so the phrase suggests that the problem is conflict with laws (which can change). Yuck.

@JMaxB That's NAMBLA's objective: abolish age of consent laws. The rationale for doing so is so vile, but so in keeping with the zeitgeist, that I won't repeat it here.
