Here is an article about it. Even if it's technically right in some ways, the language it uses tries to normalize pedophilia in the same ways as sexualities. Specifically the term "Minor Attracted Person" is controversial and tries to make pedophilia into an Identity like "Person of Color".

It was lampshading the fact this is a highly dangerous disorder. It shouldn't be blindly accepted but instead require immediate psychiatric care at best.

I think you're misunderstanding. This is NOT normalizing it at all. This is giving you an actual answer/explanation to why those people think and act like they do.

Normalizing would be saying something such as "it's okay or just accept it" but that's not what's going on here.

It should also then mention how wrong it is to have those feelings and that those people have some sort of mental health issue and need to be evaluated.
