Of course I have to admit this is somewhat of a technicality, most people would think of pedophiles as attracted to those who have not reached puberty with hebephiles attracted to those who have reached the early stages of puberty. However, by the clinical definition of pedophilia today attraction up to age 13 counts, and some people are pushing (so far failing) to get it raised to 14. I call it pedophile age range creep. Their ultimate goal is probably to get it raised to 16 and merge pedophilia hebephilia and ephebephilia, but so far hebephilia is hanging on to its uniqueness by a thread (the age 14 is the only thing that distinguished it from pedophilia at this time, although technically hebephilia isn't considered a mental illness and includes attraction to those 11 to 14, pedophilia includes attraction to those 2-13). So although it is fair to say pedophilia was indeed more accepted in the past, it was still generally shunned for most of human history, with hebephilia having been far more accepted in the recent past to the start of history. But since the rabid crusaders have merged pedophilia into hebephilia they have made it so that pedophilia was historically quite common and socially acceptable, which I find to be hilarious.
