who's calling people pedos that don't at least have credible allegations against them of that crime (eg trump)?

Outside of Elon Musk's Twitter, I think pedophile is actually used pretty appropriately in most spots.

I really wouldn’t conflate these two. People with documented allegations of child rape are in a separate category from diagnosed-over-the-TV types.
