Anime fans mad that official subs for their show translated lolicon as pedophile again

the comments on the post whining about it are like

lmao where

"Doesn't this technically count as infringement of author's rights?"

"If you translate lolicon as pedophile you water down the meaning of pedophile and make it more acceptable to the mainstream!"

Truly, anime was a mistake.

I am not sure what the argument is against translating it as "pedo"

Lately, it seems to boil down to "They're making it easier for real pedos to get accepted by slapping pedo onto anything they dislike!" and "It's not the writer's intent to say pedo, lolicon is totally different!"

"If they meant to say pedophile, they'd write pedophile!"

semi-related, the Canadian Supreme Court has ruled that luring pedophiles to a location through fake online ads is not entrapment.
