::::::The only reason I made the distinction is that girls are far more likely to suffer long term damage from sexual abuse.  Pederasty refers only to males.  Anyway, [[User:Eagle of Fire|Eagle of Fire]] I don't think the term should be in the article unless for some reason it is in the game.  My 'for the record' comment was more off topic on the definition of the word than an attack. [[User:0x517A5D|0x517A5D]] and I seem to be on the same page anyway. --Gotthard 19:12, 12 December 2007 (EST)

:::::::A through search of the games strings turns up no occurances of '''pedo''', '''pede''', or '''rape'''.  '''Sex'''  occurs only in the word '''''sex'''tuplets'', and in the programming term ''RegisterClas'''sEx'''''.  For what that's worth.  I will add my personal opinion that I also think it doesn't belong in the article.  —[[User:0x517A5D|0x517A5D]] 20:03, 12 December 2007 (EST)

::::::::To be fair, 'rape' is a word in the in-game goblin language, and often appears as a surname, or civilization name. I do agree that this oughtn't be in the article, though; I suspect that children are probably taken for eating, not raping. —[[User:Captain Epix|Captain Epix]] 22:51, 12 December 2007 (EST)
 
 
:::Besides, murderous carp aren't real to life the way pedophilia is.  A large zombie fish attacking a mythological creature is a bit more abstract than the a pedophile (traditionally viewed as human) molesting a small child.  Frankly, I like the lack of swearing and general offensiveness of the wiki, it's a nice change compared to most of the internet.  Why spoil that for the ones that like it, for information that is unclear and doesn't help understanding the article? --Gotthard 17:50, 12 December 2007 (EST)

:A thought: assume, arguendo, that the children are stolen for such a purpose.  This implies not only rape and statutory rape, but also sex outside one's species.  (Not quite bestiality, but similar.  We don't have a word for sex with a sapient that is not of one's own species.)  And since there are many snatchers, this must be sanctioned by goblin society.  How warped they must be!  Comments?  —[[User:0x517A5D|0x517A5D]] 18:54, 12 December 2007 (EST)
