It's not about social acceptance, if your attraction is towards beings that cannot consent ( children, animals ), then you are the problem and should be removed from society. If someone has rapist thoughts they aren't told to go fantasize about it more and more.
These people shouldn't be patted on the back, attraction in this case is harmful, and can easily put innocent lives into danger and should remain stigmatized. They should absolutely not be allowed to be in the same space as children and be under surveillance.
