That's what they said about gay people 75 years ago.


A lot of things was said years ago. A lot of things are now accepted. Paedophiles will never be accepted.

To be fair, most of those things that were said years ago that are now accepted would also have been described by people years ago as something that would never be accepted.

And you can't even say that pedophilia is somehow inherently anathema to well-adjusted or normal humans, and thus no culture would ever approve of it, because there have been any number of cultures throughout human history that have found pedophilia (for certain definitions of the term) perfectly acceptable, if not outright positive (like the ancient Athenians - aka the people we always credit for giving us the concept of democracy).

Basically, all sorts of fucked up things have been accepted at various points in human history, and all sorts of fucked up things will almost certainly be accepted in the future. We really lack the perspective to judge what future standards are going to be based on our own assumptions, because a lot of this stuff is culturally subjective.
