pedo planet is another word for the country of england
Of course the mascot is a cartoon bear.
The worst naming decision since Mole Station Nursery got a web domain with no hyphens.
Can someone photoshop Trump and Epstein on each side of the sign? TIA, no tip jar, its for the benefit of humanity
Include Robert F-up Kennedy, too, since this is a CDC (children’s dental center)
Nah, RFK Jr goes next to child size casket advertising
That’s like Maralargo.
Wait, they have a whole planet now? I thought it was just an island.
“Pedo Planet” sounds like the name of some CSAM distributor you can find on the dark web or similar place. Giving that name to your dentistry will guarantee that some people will try to investigate your business.
I just want to say that our language use has now been so poisoned by a child predator being called “pedophiles” because “pedo” is greek for child that we attribute just the word to a child predator. IMO pedofile is a bad word because there is zero love involved, they are child predators.
Languages evolve in weird ways. Pedophile comes from “pedo” child and “phile” for love. It could just be a mother or father, someone who loves children. But, it has been used to describe people who love children, but in the wrong way. Similarly, homophobe has been used for people who hate gays, but the “phobe” part is about fear not hate. Also, “homo” isn’t necessarily homosexual, it could be homogeniety. Homophobes could be people who are afraid of people of their own race, but instead we’ve decided it’s the term to use for people who hate or are angry at homosexuality.
the term “child rapist” is also fair
…? paraphilias are usually sexual in nature, not love based. “pedophile” is the right word for the act of being sexually attracted to children.
Bibliophile means someone who loves/likes books. I’m guessing that’s their point. That “phile” has been corrupted by sexual connotations.
has it though? the -phile suffix isn’t what designates it as sexual. it’s being considered a paraphilia.
Any root related to sex or sexuality has been perverted in English, or at least American English.
Just saying Homo means homosexual, trans means transexual, bi means bisexual, poly means polyamorous, and to MAGA, the word pronoun is more triggering than a swastika.
If someone claims to not have any pronouns, always refer to them by their name.
No, “Hi Jeff, how was your day? Did you pick up your package?”
It’s, “Hi Jeff, how was Jeff’s day? Did Jeff pick up Jeff’s package?”
If you don’t know their name, make up a descriptive one, be creative!
So a pedophile is somebody who loves children, in a good wholesome way, like kindergarten teachers we have fond memories of.
Pedo predators are the bad people who belong in prison.
Ok but seriously “-phile” implies a CRAZED over-the-top unhealthy fixation with something.
Bibliophile? That’s great that you love reading books but you probably should find some balance in your life and get out into the world more.
Cinephile? That’s great that you enjoy all things cinema, but you should probably find some balance in your life and get out into the world more.
Etc 😄
It’s a more inclusive term because “child predator” and “child rapist” all require some verifiable action on the person’s part. Is a person who is sexually attracted to children and just looks at like AI generated CSM not also a pedophile, despite not actually directly harming children?
…the teachers were called ‘paedogogues’ not ‘pedogogues’…
Yes but it’s the same thing because some countries just have letters missing as usual so Pedro = paedo
…you, poor, poor soul…
I mean, I can see what they were going for here, sure… But this probably had to have - what - likev a half dozen or so (allegedly ⁷functioning) adults review all of this, likely discuss it amongst themselves to boot… Anyway, all of that and still - yadda yadda yadda - we make it through all of that without a single motherfucker being like, “So, ya don’t think the name will attract any… undesirable elements for a care center or anything like that?”
Does it have the same connotation in India?
Pedo came from greek and mean child.
Just a little fact for who is curious
Knowledge is knowing Pedo etymologically means child.
Wisdom is not putting it in your business name…
Depeds where the photo was taken, not in all countries people read “pedo” and get allarmed, for example the Italian for paediatrician is “pediatra” and some other words contain “pedo” too, so it’s chill
new delhi india.
In Spanish pediatra as well
A pedometer measures children too.
HA!
As a podophile, I can understand not wanting to invite confusion when presenting yourself to the world.
should’ve been ‘child canyon’

“Honey I am bringing Timmy to the CDC” “WHAT?!” “To Pedo Planet!”
I hate how everyone mispronounces the word. We say Peed-iatrician not ped-iatrician so it is not peh-dophile but peed-ophile.
For someone who walks by foot, they are called peh-destrians, not Pee-destrians.
So, do you have a child fetish or a foot fetish? Peed or Ped will reveal all.
It’s not “everyone”… maybe just locally to you?
But here it’s “peed” for child and “pehd” for foot, in every word I can think of right now at least.
what a pedant.
Umnm actually it’s pronounced “peed-unt”
