Or isn't

@ThePangburn How doesn't labeling it as a sexual orientation normalize it?

He might not know what straw manning is. Which is fine just make sure he understands what he did

You definitaly inferred bad intentions f

@T2the2ndpowr Where was the strawman? I can't find the conversation

Debate certainly turned away from a debate and people just insulting each other

@Deleted User The transcript of what was said in chat that @ruffu4 took as something else is above somewhere panburg sent it. But I don’t think ruff even understands what he did. And if he does he’s not good at showing he understands what he did lol

And why not simply clarify what was said

^

He did apologize

xD

THATS WHY I AM LAUGHIN WTFUCKIN HELL

imo that was unnecessary. ruff admitted he had misunderstood, which is what travis was trying to get to admit to but he calls it a "strawman." Both sides were in agreement, just getting too concerned about the exact word choice

But it wouldn’t literally be a sexual orientation

Sexual orientation refers to gender

So pedophilia can’t literally be a sexual orientation

no? gender refers to gender

@ThePangburn

sexual orientation refers to sexual orientation

Look up sexual orientation @squid

What about if a pedofiles get there own float in the pride parade.

Pedophila isn’t a sexual orientation.

Yeah I mean can we clarify pedophilia most certainly isn’t a sexual orientation and it literally can’t be a sexual orientation @m.miller

I could debate that after work if anyone thinks it is a sexual orientation

@T2the2ndpowr dictionaries are descriptive, not prescriptive. They don't tell us what words mean, they document common usages.

Not the Oxford English Dictionary

yes even that one

It gives literal descriptions of words

No

Not a scientific dictionary

words don't have meanings, they have usages

dictionaries list common usages

No they definitely have meanings they can have different usages but words also have meanings

Not a scientific dictionary

yes even a scientific one

No

You’re wrong

I’m sorry

scientific terminology has changed through time. its not monolithic. New usages of words become common

The whole point of a scientific dictionary is to give the exact definition of a word.

I learned this in school when learning about relatable sources
