I genuinely don't know how to respond to that. I'm not labeling some arbitrary political group pedophiles. I'm saying that anime has a problem where sexualization of minors is generally accepted by the community and at least a significant minority actively engages with that content. There's a plethora of articles and research on this topic. Here's a few:
