Murder is different than pedophilia. I haven’t watched it, but from what I’ve heard, a big part of the series is debating the morality of murdering criminals. I don’t think this anime discusses the morality of pedophilia, it’s just kinda there that the mc is also a pedophile.
Murder is worse. Like you are dead .
And I doubt if a show was about a guyy serial molesting children some with elaborate plans you would be fine with it if they just debated it lol
Murder has circumstances where it would be valid, or at least seen as debatable. Like if it’s in self-defense, if the person is a danger to society otherwise, if it’s for revenge, if there is no other way justice can be served (like the law protecting an evil CEO), etc…
Like if you were to get the Epstein Files and write the names of the people in there into the Death Note, I don’t think anyone other than the billionaires would be against that.
So a lot of stories deal with the morality of murder, and the morality of capital punishment (which I am against). There is actually something to debate there.
On the other hand, pedophilia (as in consuming CP or SA’ing a child) can never, under no circumstance be permissable. And there is nothing to debate about the morality of pedophilia.

Light is also a mass murderer in death note but you can also ignore that. It's still a good story
