I also can't help but think of pedo when I see it. I am pretty knew to the movement but if I didn't know any better, it would have really turned me away. Even looking into the origins of it, it still seems a bit retarded. Willing to have my mind changed, but every time I see it, I cringe.
You're not aloud to just not like something? Makes you intolerant? I didn't say anyone should not say it, I just said how it made me feel under my current understanding of the term. No need to fret fellow pede.
