    I know this isn’t remotely the point but I think “pedophile rapist” hits better. Your way makes it sound like he is a rapist who is also a pedophile. Which, don’t get me wrong, he is.

    But “pedophile rapist” describes the fact that he rapes children.

    Edit: I haven’t had my coffee. 🤦‍♂️

        Molestation can be a bunch of creepy non legally defined ways. A person who has sex with a child, is a pedophile, or child rapist.

        (Not directed to you) but I keep seeing people wanting “child fucker” to catch on, but idk why it feels skeevy, almost feels like they are adding more ambiguity, as a child could be a child fucker, but they wouldn’t be viewed as a pedophile. Where any grown adult who has sec with a child is a pedophile, it’s well understood.

          No adult can “have sex” with a child, because rape is not the same thing as sex. Saying “have sex” implies consent, where no consent can be given. Same goes for “fucker” IMO. “Child rapist” would work fine if “molester” is too ambiguous for you.

      I usually call him a rapist pedophile, but I think the best description is that he’s a rapist and a pedophile. Monsters usually only have one kink but he’s both.

      It’s implied that if you’re a pedophile you rape children, because they (legally) can’t give consent.
