    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.

    “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 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 functioning) 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?”
