There are a lot of potentially harmful fetishes and philias people by-and-large will tolerate, like sadism and non-consensual sex. This does not exist in Japan where I grew up--is the problem with pedophiles who don't own child pornography or chase kids something unique to the United States? And how did this come about? Even outright violence can seemingly be sexualized here without too much of a reaction from people.

I beat the shit out of some kids today. But it was for a
purpose. It made me feel good about myself. It was
like I did something constructive with my life or something,
I dunno, like I accomplished something.

Other fetishes get bad looks too, it's not just pedophilia. There are fetishes that are considered just that, fetishes, and fetishes that are considered to be sexual disorders that should be looked at as dangerous. Many times, that can be spot on.
