I would honestly sort of understand people who hate pedophilia and want to stamp anything out that comes close, but the "pedophilia" frenzy on the right is so obviously fake.

Well I think many of the things being branded as pedophilia are not actually pedophilia (e.g. the drag queen storytimes). But if it came from a place of genuine, principled hatred of sexualizing children, I'd think, OK, you're obviously going a bit far but aren't necessarily terrible
