I'm not in the YOI fandom but from what I've seen on my dash lately, the fandom is having a freakout because some of them believe an 18 year old hypothetically dating a 16 year old is "pedophilia"

Can I carve the definition of ephebophilia into some people's foreheads?
'Cause this stuff is so OLD.

...oh well, yet another fandom collapsing under the iron heel of incomprehension.

And tbh, it's not even really ephebophilia because that usually only applies to older adults with a fetish or attraction to teenagers which... really doesn't work if it's about two literal teenagers with a 2 year age difference and only gets this much scrutiny just because one of the teenagers is 18. That's actually a very, very common age difference for people in relationships irl.

Hence the word incomprehension.

Ok, maybe I'm just whining that nobody understands anything anymore...

DA. This ^^^^^

Seriously people Do Not Understand that a paraphilia is entirely based on that specific thing. If your paraphilia is for fucking trains, you probably don't want a perfectly sexy train magically transformed into a conventionally attractive human. So unless the fact they're a teenager is specifically what turns them on (especially when they're a freakin' teenager themselves!!) it's not a -philia. It's like Hollywood-Unattractive Fat Middle Aged People Having Sex can be a kink, but it can also just be... you know... a huge percentage of the population fucking their spouse or someone else in their age group. Maybe all these tumblr kids need to sit down their actual fathers and kinkshame them for their serious MILF-fetishes because why else would they have married a woman and then had a kid or kids with her?

Exactly.

Seriously, by some people's definition, my high school boyfriend would've committed pedophilia/ephebophilia simply because he was a mere year older than me.

I just...how do people seriously not understand that they need to be very careful with throwing around words like that?
