Yes, preying. Have you read the manga recently? He literally consistently goes to Jinha’s house under the pretense of being his brother’s bf to be close to him. While he’s still a child. He’s actively fantasizing about being with this child. He locks eyes with him while having sex and instead of what a normal adult would do, he gets so giddy that Jinha’s sexually attracted to him too. That man was preying on a child and i don’t know why you’re trying to deny this fact.
for someone who’s OBSESSED with the semantics of the word “pedophile” you sure don’t know what an “insult” is.
Because by your definition, rape isn’t a prerequisite for being a pedophile? Why are you now moving the goalposts? You don’t have to act on something like sexual perversions for it to be true.
Non-pedophiles cease to have sexual or romantic feelings for a person after they learn that they’re a child. That makes him still attracted to a child = pedophile.
Also he pursued him. Do you think he was tutoring that kid out of the kindness of his heart?
I said “IF he had acted on it, he WOULD HAVE been found guilty”, not that he did. Being attracted to a child is a pedophilic action, you are being pedophilic when you are attracted to a child. And he came REALLL close to acting on it. He was planning on how to pursue him before disappearing from his life. He didn’t disappear from his life bc he felt what he was doing was wrong.
I’m sorry but you don’t know how logic works. I’m saying what you’re saying is like “you can’t say you’re anxious without a diagnosis” NOT “you can’t say you have anxiety without a diagnosis”. If you can’t tell the difference between these statements, I don’t think you’re particularly skilled at comparative comprehension either. (Hint, this isn’t an insult either!!)
Man, this new generation of kids is pure insanity. What has happened to deeper comprehension, and a comparative assessment of literature?? Won is not a "pedophile". From the etymology itself, pedophile, it is attraction to pre-pubescent children. I'm not defending the author nor the character, this is analysis of the context. Won has not shown any tendencies with being attracted to any children. Won is attracted with the existence of the person that has shown him kindness during the darkest period of his life, which is unfortunately Jinha. He doesn't like kids, he's not sexually attracted to undeveloped bodies. It was pure coincidence. It could be anyone, a senile man, a cute puppy, a busty lady. It didn't matter. Jinha just happened to be there.
Pedophilia is a mental disorder that is diagnosed. Not because you 'think' or 'feel' it is. Just because someone is coughing and showing signs of asthma; he has asthma. You are not a doctor. These overused of medical terms is becoming a huge issue.
