This isn't something to be pedantic about. You're not solving any problems by protecting a child-raping billionaire from misused words. Don't be a bad human, please.

I'm not protecting anyone, that is not my intent at all. Hell, I couldn't care less about American celebs or whoever this guy is.

My issue is literally in the first sentence. Watering down the term doesn't help victims of actual child sexual abuse. I'd argue it's actually harmful.
