Using the word “baby” as an affectionate word for your significant other is problematic and here’s why. When you have a significant other, most of the time you indulge in an intimate relationship with them. Whether this means sex or kissing, it isn’t appropriate to do this with a child. So why call your significant other “baby”? Baby is a small child. Smaller than a toddler. If you call someone “baby” and you want to kiss and have sex with them, that’s pedophilia. No, it’s not a wholesome and cute nickname. It straight up means you’re a pedophile. Women are uncomfortable when men say “hey baby” on the street because they know that he is a pedophile who’s after their children. There is nothing sexually appealing about a baby! Everyone is just fucked up and we need to stop appropriating pedophile culture!!!
