I understand your proposal from a technical standpoint as the phile post-fix means a love of, ex: audiophile, anglophile.
While in essence that is true. Unlike the previous two phile examples I gave, society on a whole recognises this one as peverse and not an appreciation or reverence like the others.
Changing the common language around it isn't much different from what lefties do too. The other element is that any change in the language introduces possibilities in the change of understanding.
The ABC news in Tasmania, Australia recently tried their hand at this. You can guess what reception the idea has received:
I disagree about how changing language is just a leftist tactic. It is the right of everyone to change the narrative as they see fit. As I speak so I create. There was a comment above that I'd like to change my term to "Child rapists" because that is the most clear and concise description. There is no love involved, it is rape.

EDIT: Just wanted to clarify that in no way am I insinuating you are a lefty in the 3rd paragraph.
