It has been my experience that those who go out of their way to illustrate this distinction are doing so defensively because they, themselves, don’t want to be “falsely labeled” as a pedophile.

Yet, either way, you’re a kiddie-fucker. No amount of “eeh, technically…” will ever change that.

Or they're autistic and felt compelled to pedantically correct something technically false. I'm guilty of doing that too.
