Haven't you heard? Psychopath, like Pedophile, is a mere epithet these days, to indicate a person's favoured status with the in-crowd. In contrast to the equally meaningless epithet "woke".

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

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.

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

Except Psychopath and Pedophile are actual words that weren't lifted straight off of gen-z slang.
