I mean, we should probably get separate words for child enthusiasts and child predators. Because ATM child enthusiast has some of the worst connotations possible to apply to a person--one who literally victimizes the weakest members of society--when most of them are just people with an unfortunate mental disorder. Most child enthusiasts will never act on their urges and many will seek counseling. Obviously a less serious example, but it's like using the same word to describe furries and otherkin. One of those is delusional, one is unfortunate.
Pretty soon child enthusiast is gonna lose all meaning or impact thanks to idiots who don't know what it means
what the forget are you saying
sure a caterpillar and a butterfly are different but they're the same stuff, same as a child predator and child enthusiast, if you have loveual desires involving young children and you haven't acted out on them, well guess what, it's still child enthusiasm dumb cunt, all you have to be is loveually attracted to them to begin with.

Bringing up the excuse of "it's a mental disorder" when said person can function just as normal as anyone else in society besides their loveual desires is just so forgeted up and wrong, seriously shut the forget up, if it's a mental disorder then how do all these coaches in sports like basketball and football at schools and colleges get those jobs in the first place, maintain them, have homes, manage finances, manage a sports team, go places and on vacations, and have normal relationships with people other than the ones they've molested/raped?
if you're genuinely sick and you can't function normally in terms of thinking, motor functions, conversing, and basic human functions and you so happen to have thoughts of young children, then it is a mental disorder.
if you're a member of society and can function normally in terms of thinking, motor functions, conversing, and basic human functions and you so happen to have thoughts of young children, then you're a child enthusiast.
if child enthusiasm is a mental disorder then every wrong and morbid thought anyone has ever had is also, turn off your computer and never use it again you absolute piece of human stuff.
