Really guys, he´s not a pedo. A pedophile is a person, wich love little kids.
Seunghee isn´t a kid anymore or would you call all men pedos just because they have girlfrinds around 17/18 years old?
Thats insane.... ( ̄へ ̄)
I know it’s not in America but I’m saying the cultural difference makes some of us think he’s a pedofile even if he’s not to others. I should have explained that better. Americans look down on older humans dating high schoolers even if they are just turning 18. Usually college is the cap for almost peoples age limit when it comes to high school. After high school is free range.
Korean ages are different from American ages, and what you would consider to be 18 in America is possibly only 16 or 17 in Korea. Also, 20 is what is considered ‘adult’ in Asian countries. Aside from that, not only did he send his dick to a middle schooler (actually, I’m wondering if it was really his dick, since his boss knows his login info, but anyway) he also tried to force himself on his friend in the car, when he mistook him for seunghee.
For your question. Yes. I call a guy who is over 25yo and has constantly 17/18 yo girlfriends a pedophile. The top of the cherry would be if he is lurking them on the internet and these girls are lonely... and i don't even want to think what i would feel about a guy that is ready to expose the girl's secrets in frond of the school if she does not follow him....
If you're in your mid-twenties and dating anyone under the age of 18 you're a fucking pedo. Pedophile, in our cultural use of the word not the "true meaning", means anyone who is a legal adult that romantically/sexually involved with and/or attracted to a minor. Granted, there is lenience for shorter age gaps (20/18, 19/17, 19/18) but a six year difference or beyond is a hard no.
No, he's a predator, not a pedophile. You're being ignorant. Anyone can make the "iTs ThE CuLtURaL DeFiNiTiOn~" argument, but it's invalid until it has been givin legitimacy by an official source. You're basically saying "a lot of people misuse this word so I'm right in using it the wrong way", in your case with no proof of legitimacy that its used that way.
The blondie knew the age of seungtaek and it was an illegal action to send it. Moreover, seungtaek was sexually harassed by him in the car.
You can't commit a crime and then say "it was deviant, sorry". No mate. We are not even sure for the range of age he targeted so why you say it is a deviant?
If his target group was teenage boys that makes him a pedophile (using the common term used) or ephibophile (using the scientific term). Whatever of the two that makes him a dangerous person that is ready to defile and screw a young persons life. Calling him ephibophile does not make him look fine, guys, just the same shit.
A 5 yo and a 15 yo being targeted by two middles age adults does not the second case fine because it could be worse (first case). Both of them should be protected.
And everyone has different opinion because cultural difference does exist. Trying to diminish it by pretending that is fool argument makes your points fall flat.
@ireadeverything: You're wrong. Pedophilia is targeted specifically at ages 13-. We do know his target range because it hasnt shown him target anything but high schoolers. He wants young adults. Teenagers and children aren't the same thing. Both situations are bad, but a pedophile leading an unknowing child into some bushes is worse than an adult propositioning a young adult with a developed enough brain to reject them. He is a predator, not a pedophile. The only point falling flat is your "people misuse this word so I'm right in misusing it too" point. In the 1st place, go ahead and cite a source showing that pedophile can accurately be used to describe "any creepy older guy" as you're saying. Is there even an urban dictionary definition like that?
So uh I searched it up..Pedophile is only used when an old-middle age guy wanna fk a child, toddler. Not an adolescent which are teenagers so yea basically below 13. The term for blondie is probably predator(?) Which means jusy preying on someone whom is very young (13-21) so yea. U can search it up I aint lyin
I'm not ingoring the facts presented to me in the manga. I do admit I may lack knowledge about the difference between a pedophile and a sexual predator @youaredthiswrogn so I opted to use the word "harasser"ㅡ and he did so during his first and second encounter with Sungtaek as his age do not fall 13 or below. So, he doesn't fall in the category of pedophile.
The boss of blondie (chap 62, page 2) expressly stated these words, " kid, minors and young".
1. He addressed Seunghee as a kid. Mind that he's 18 (korean age)/ 17 (western age).
2. Minors= under *19y/o
*the year in which you would turn 20
**I can't read Korean laws so if there's a Korean here, please do correct me if I'm wrong.
3. Young- self-explanatory
We cannot identify the age range of the targets of what blondie's boss is talking about as he used these terms interchangeably. With lack of information, we can't assume he is a pedophile nor we can assume he isn't a pedophile.
@I_read_everything!dammit! You contradicted yourself when you said, "We are not even sure for the range of age" and concluded he is either a pedophile or ephebophile which both has a specific age range (ephebophile is not the scientific term for pedophile/paedophile).
You may have missed my second post which contains the wordㅡharasser.
Your lack of research made your argument weak.
This is my interpretation and stand to this.
I am not sure about his range of age that is why i said "IF his target group...".
I actually did research it. I could not find any law that seperates ephebophilia from pedophilia and we are talking about illegal actions here. What i found is that the laws use the common term pedophilia. Maybe your country does seperate them so could you please be so kind to elaborate on that?
My point of view, on the other hand, was more about the ethical side that was written in the 6-11 lines of my comment.
I don't want to change your interpretation, my goal is more to see how other people sees this. Sorry if my english are not helping.
We were totally not on the same page. I was simply answering to the TOPIC created by Flitzekatze: Is he a pedo or not?
In contrast to yours, whose main point is the ethical implication.
And we really won't come into an agreement because I based my stand on the research of psychologists to pinpoint who qualifies as a pedophile.
I can't elaborate anything to you since our sources of information are totally different.
Now to answer to the "6-11 lines" or your main point. I believe a person (culprit) who has committed sexual harrassment to another person (victim-regardless of age) should be punished by law.
Does this clarify the discrepancy between our argument?
@ireadeverything: By bringing this argument forward, are you trying to make the point that if two actions have the same punishment that they're the same? If so, i don't follow the logic. In the 1st place, criminal terminology and casual use aren't the same thing, if the court sytem is pairing them together in regards to punishment it's most likely for simplity. It wouldn't change the fact that they're using it wrong. It sounds like you're trying to bring forward the legal system as an official source of diction, but the only official source is a dictionary.
