I've been seeing a lot of different ways to refer to child molesters/pedophiles on the internet recently. Chomos, PDF Files, etc. Can we not call child molesters child molesters any more?
(I am aware that /certain people/ want to label other /certain people/ as groomers/pedos because of political stunts, and that's not what I'm referring to)
On some sites, you have to use soft language to get past censors. Chomo is not just prison slang, it's also a slur. It's not new. They were using the term when I started as a corrections officer almost 20 years ago. And it wasn't new then either.
