Anyone know if if it is possible to link the song titled "Herbert the Pervert" by Infected Mushroom to this character? — MrBucket T/ C 19:23, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
I disagree with the use of the word pederast. While Herbert is clearly a pedophile and a homosexual, there is no actual reference to any specific sexual activity practiced or desired by him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.229.217.188 ( talk • contribs) 14:01, 27 February 2012
Chris is clearly not a prepubescent child, so technically Herbert isn't a pedophile. He's either an Ephebophile or a Hebephile.
OK I felt it was best and accurate to address what Henry says he is, but also what is discussed on here (and on many internet searches). I can't see any valid reason to change this edit. If you disagree, please tell me why? Tyros1972 ( talk) 17:47, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
All this analysis of the supposed sexual preferences of a fictional character is irrelevant. Unless it is spelt out on the show what he is (and it isn't) then all we have to go on what reliable sources have to say. The character's creator is also the nearest we have to self identification. Who better to define what he is? He may be wrong in his terminology, he may be right, but no-one here is in any position to say any different. No-one gets to watch the show and decide what is in a fictional character's head. It's completely original research. -- Escape Orbit (Talk) 20:32, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
Mr. Herbert is most likely a pedophile. Pedophilia is defined as a predominant (not necessarily exclusive) sexual attraction to prepubescents. In most instances regarding his sexual attractions, his preferences seem to gravitate towards prepubescents. While Chris is an adolescent, he seems to be more of a grand exception than a rule. At the very least, he can be considered a pedohebephile. -- Sega31098 ( talk) 03:36, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. Favonian ( talk) 15:30, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
Herbert (Family Guy) → John Herbert – That's the character's name. — Justin (koavf)❤ T☮ C☺ M☯ 04:48, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
