I mean people can accept homosexuality, bisexuality, hetrosexuality bondage and all the fetishes in between so why do people have a problem with peodophiles?

The key difference is consent. Two gay adults can consent to sexual relations. A child cannot consent, and nonconsentual sex is rape.
I agree that fantasies of any kind can be, and often are, perfectly harmless. You (the royal you, not anyone in particular) can enjoy fantasies about killing, raping, stealing, etc. without ever truly desiring to commit such acts in reality. The question is, why do you have such fantasies? Maybe you get mad one day and imagine killing your boss, or you let out frustration by playing Counterstrike. Or maybe you fantasize about killing people because you don't value life. You would never
really do it... unless there were no consequences, and circumstances made it easy to rationalize. People kill in war, in self-defense, in gang fights, without thinking they've done anything wrong, without being punished by the law. It's frightening how many people would be willing to take a life under the right circumstances.
With fetishes, I think it's important to examine your feelings, to ask tough questions. If you could transform someone for real, would you? Some say they would. But what of the transformee? If they don't consent, you'll be violating them. AR/AP has many situations where consent is not possible and sexual issues are nonetheless involved. I'm not saying it isn't OK to entertain fantasies involving rape, domination, or violence - I do it all the time - only that the danger exists that these harmless fantasies can cross over into reality if one isn't careful. Our instincts impose no moral code on us. If you're hungry, you eat. If you're horny, you fuck. Someone who doesn't understand that paint isn't good for you, or that some people aren't as eager to have sex as you are, will not discriminate in fulfilling their needs. If society taught us it was ok to have sex with children but taboo to eat bologna, and had been teaching us that for hundreds of years, more people would do the former than the latter.
The closest you can get to acting out a TF fetish is through roleplay, which all but requires a consenting partner. Same with bondage, unless you happen to be the moustache-twirling villain type. You can roleplay AR/AP scenarios, too, even ones that border on pedophilia, with a consenting adult. But it's easier to find a child who doesn't realize what's going on than a full-grown woman who doesn't mind wearing diapers. An interest in AR/AP, as well as other fetishes, like mind control, can be indicative of a deeper desire to take advantage of women who won't say "no". Or it could be nothing. The reason people are concerned is that they can't
know it's nothing, and because rape, especially for children, is a deeply traumatic experience, something that no one should ever go through. Anything that even hints at that happening sets off alarm bells in people's minds.
