I think a few decades down the road, no offence pedophilia will be destigmatized like being gay was. There was an old stigma that being gay meant that you were the type of person who who go around raping males (homosexual was used much like pedophile is). I think that in a few decades, people will say it was morally unjust to do the things that are being done to the non-offenders of today.
I think the key difference is that you can have consensual gay relationships in real life, whereas there is no analogous situation for MAPs. I do think that probably makes a pretty big difference in people's minds, so I'm not sure how we would progress past that. Additionally, normalization was important for the LGBTQ+ movement: media depictions of "normal" gay people. That isn't possible for MAPs in live-action, so that's another barrier.
I don't think it will be. I do hope that its pervasiveness will be recognized by average people, and we will stop treating me them like monsters.
All sexual taboos are latent in human sexuality.
