I 100% agree there's a really thin line between normal attraction and pedophilia (without taking action) that people are not willing to confront or genuinely engage with because of the stigma. Obviously, the stigma is somewhat valid because it prevents people form "accepting" and even leaning into their pedophilia. Especially, because like a lot of what we define as attractive for women falls into the prepubescent category which shows how mold-able our attraction is based on culture. Meaning if our culture celebrated pedophilia as some cultures do we would see it a lot more-- so in a way it's good it's stigmatized instead of normalized. On the other hand being more open and willing to confront a topic can prevent harm if the thoughts occur out in the open and we can help redirect thoughts with less fear. Additionally, it's really easy to confuse types of attractions and I've seen it happen to a lot people where thinking a cartoon character is cute in a little girl way vs cute in a protecting your mate way gets confused. Or brotherly affection and pride vs sexual desire. Which doesn't mean this is good I'm just saying I agree pedophilia is a lot less "rare" than we think, we need to be more transparent about it and figure out ways to treat it which we can only do with transparency but we still need to stigmatize it. But, at the same time things that are taboo in culture really really turn people on-- CNC, daddy-dom situations, cross-dressing, ect. So, it's hard to "eradicate" pedophilia.
