That, what the OP said, what @FlakesBongler@hexbear.net said, and also there's the grooming aspect to it all, which is rich because that's the accusation fascists use against lgbtq+ people.

Matt has a good explanation of this on the cushvlogs, he talks about the hedonic treadmill and the emptiness of individualism. he links it to Salò or the 120 Days of Sodom as well
I'll see if I can find it but it's been a long time
Because wanting to fuck/marry teenagers isnt looked down upon in rightwing circles. Its considered the white mans reward for being a good soldier for the Reich to get an obedient child bride.
Fundamental belief in the right of the powerful to do as they please to the powerless + children are the most powerless people.
Much as I'd love to think all commies are perfect, I think it's tough to back up that assertion. The cases you hear about in public are going to be high-profile people, who are already a very selective sample of the population at large.

It's the same root of being able to make humans into objects. In this case, with children. A child doesn't get to disagree with authority, have bodily autonomy, or a purpose outside of what the patriarch has for them. They can be married off, exploited for their labor, and used as a cudgel to advocate for things that don't even benefit them.
