    Part of the job of a translator is to translate cultural nuance, which would be lost here. That’s what makes the translation inaccurate in some contexts.

      So we need to translate it so the audience undertands there’s a level of implied cultural acceptance of pedos. How’s this?

      That sounds like not calling a cannibal a cannibal because of the negative connotation which the word doesn’t have in cannibal culture

        So small-minded? Let me remind you that “cannibal” is originally an ethnonym coined by Columbus for the native Caribbean people, whose culture certainly had a lot more nuance than just eating people.
