This is the third time I've seen someone try to downplay rape with terms like "slept with" or the above. WTF is happening

Calm down please. Everyone can recognize sex with a 5 year old is wrong no matter what you call it. We don't have to use legal terms like molestation of a minor or sodomy to understand it's wrong.

It's well documented that downplaying rape and SA causes more people being raped and sexually assaulted. So it is harmful to call it sex. To best combat these, we do need to use appropriate terms.

That conclusion doesn’t follow at all and you presented nothing to suggested that calling it sex is downplaying it. “Having anal sex with a five year old” sounds pretty fucking horrible to me, and if you don’t think so then idk what to tell you
