Yeah I get why people would react that way to her tweet. I still prefer the use of specific and accurate language instead of language meant to inflame people's emotions, especially from someone whose opinions are highly read such as her.

Katie Herzog is a transphobic piece of poo poo. Dan Savage is a racist piece of poo poo. The Stranger is garbage, and I don't really care about making arguments against the neo-liberal trash that love their crap.

Her piece on detransitioners was about as fair and evenhanded an article as is possible on trans issues these days. Everyone has such strong kneejerk reactions to any dissenting takes even though it's an incredibly deep, complex, and nuanced subject. I personally experience gender dysphoria from the paraphilic sexual orientation that leads to becoming a late onset transwoman and I think her writing on the subject has been fair and not hateful at all.

You are giving off really strong reactionary vibes. Your arguments for defending Herzog are the same arguments made by crypto-fash.

This implies you think there is a qualitative difference between raping a ten year old and raping a thirteen year old (I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you don't actually think this). And that's really why people roll their eyes/get disgusted by "it's actually ephebophilia" because there is an implicit argument that "it's a different thing so it's not as bad."

Pedophile as used by the general public has a meaning that is broader than the specific Latin term as used in academic publications. Language is like that. Don't carry water for pedophiles.

I understand the point you are making in terms of the aesthetics/narrative value of using the word pedophile even if it's not the word that sexology academics would use. The general public does indeed use the word as you say they do. I think that kids can't consent and that all of it is rape--whether ephebophilia, hebephilia, or pedophilia. I agree with you on that. I still don't think someone should be maligned for being accurate and specific with their word usage.

I’d argue that in the most charitable reading it comes across as needlessly pedantic and showing off how much smarter than everyone else you are. Like “read the room”

And the less charitable is that you’re drawing lines and giving cover to rapists “it was only ephibophilia come on guys it’s not like it was a little kid!”

Nah gently caress this. If you are a doctor, and in your medical paper intended to be read by other doctors you find it useful to distinguish between different sorts of child-loving, then great, I'm glad doctors have technical terms for that. If you are a lay person or talking to lay people and you need terms other than pedophile, you are providing cover for child-fuckers.

But this isn't an example of someone being accurate and specific with their word usage. This is someone going out of their way to correct other people's word usage, needlessly, pedantically, and in a way that minimizes the monstrous repeat crimes of a child rapist.

Do you not understand the difference between using irony correctly yourself and needing to defend a child rapist?

And we're not just talking private life, this is a public person, a reporter, using her fame to offer justification for a serial child rapist, because oh they're not technically a child rapist, at least that hasn't been precisely alleged yet in the years and years and years of repeated child rapes, oh no he's been doing years and years and years of teen rape.

No they are deliberately using misleading language to provide cover for a rapist, because lay people mostly don't know the term "ephebophile" and mostly understand the term "pedophile" to cover a large range of kid-raping, and not as a specific psychiatric term. Accurate communication requires understanding your audience, using medical jargon around random non-doctors is either deception or idiocy.

This is what I've found about him, and saw it repeated a couple other places so for right now I'm pretty certain his name was Will Van Spronsen.

From the info that has been put out so far, it sounds like he wasn't attacking main building. He was across the street burning the buses that were being used for transport. So targeting infrastructure, and *not* putting people in danger.

Targeting infrastructure = putting people in danger = bad.

Targeting a building full of prisoners that definitely would be left to die if the building was set on fire = not putting people in danger = good?

Oh, okay. Sorry, that’s actually the type of sentiment I would expect to hear from some people.

It didn’t mention whether he actually used his rifle at all, and I would think that ICE would have trotted that out front and center if he had. I wonder if he only even had it to make sure that they would try to kill him rather than just arresting him again.
