Pedo came from greek and mean child.
Just a little fact for who is curious
A pedometer measures children too.
HA!
As a podophile, I can understand not wanting to invite confusion when presenting yourself to the world.
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.
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 😄
Wait, they have a whole planet now? I thought it was just an island.
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?”
Can someone photoshop Trump and Epstein on each side of the sign? TIA, no tip jar, its for the benefit of humanity
“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.
Of course the mascot is a cartoon bear.
That’s like Maralargo.
should’ve been ‘child canyon’
“Honey I am bringing Timmy to the CDC” “WHAT?!” “To Pedo Planet!”
“What’s a fancy Greek way to say I love kids?”
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.
what a pedant.
Anyway isn’t it weird to have the same doctor from age 0 to 18 years old? About age 15 is when kids get uncomfortable going to their pediatrician aka “baby doctor”. Ages 15 to 18 should transition to mainstream primary care providers.
I think dentistry is different from general physician things. Typically, a dentist can treat anyone of any age.
