Any evidence for 'far-right' acceptance/normalising of pedophilia?
Because I would imagine that ideologies so deeply enmeshed with notions of 'proper' family - man in charge, woman in kitchen, children playing outside - would react viscerally to pedophilia. Much like the generally-accepted-as-right-wing UVF always did. They gave two options to pedophiles - run or die.
In essence, I think that your politicised finger pointing is unnecessary and - perhaps the greater crime - transparent.
Scare quotes for far-right?
You only need observe how the right-wing discusses this topic, particularly when they think they're among friends. Of course, few actually "accept pedophilia" in those terms - to do that would be to compromise the politic of sexual revulsion which the right usually employs against women, LGBT folk, and the nonreligious to varied degrees and extremes.
Rather, what they tend to do is incorporate factually pedophilic behaviors into their perception of sexual normalcy, either on the public end (heterosexual marriage and childrearing) or tacit neglect on the clandestine end (incestuous, non-heterosexual, or otherwise forbidden like with rapist priests). The classic version of this is well known of course, the religiously-motivated "marry young and have as many children as possible" which obviously creates the setup to pressure down past age 18.
In the modern era though, you see all sorts of advocates online for abolishing age of consent laws or privatizing marriage, both a setup to go all Warren Jeffs and have child brides at the rural compound, or such. Thus the stereotype of the libertarian pedophile. Then there's the Red Pill/Incel angle, reducing women to their capacity to breed and a fetishistic portrayal of young "tradwives" with screeching contrast that any woman over the age of 25 is worthless. By contrast, the priest who likes to feel up little boys isn't accepted for doing so, but for being a priest at the head of a church that is beyond reproach by us mere mortals.
For groups that are right-wing but morally panic over pedophiles like your UVF example, the answer is simply that they are punishing
deviancy, and possibly seeking spectacle like in the case of vigilante groups seeking to bait pedophiles and then record beating them up at the mall for 100,000 subscribers on Youtube. Hypocritical? Sometimes yes, sometimes no depending on if the group then goes home to complain about their lack of tradwives on Discord, but it's not as if hypocritical behavior ever stopped the right before.
Does the
average right-wing voter tacitly support pedophilia? Not really. But then, they don't need to. They just need to tacitly support maintaining the Old Boys Club or the extremist theorists, and
those people do tacitly support pedophilia when they aren't committing it themselves. They just don't portray it as such.
Your own argument defeats itself. If it was actually accepted it wouldn't need to be covered up.
As is the case with many aspects of right-wing politics, there's a huge gulf between ingroup and outgroup behavior. What gets spoken at the bar or in the chatroom isn't what gets spoken on TV. Public honesty about goals is rather anathema to the right-wing, and increases dramatically as you look at more extreme groups.
Not really a great surprise, there. "We want to protect our faith and culture" is sanitized and garners votes. Without euphemisms like that, the bloody reality would discourage many.
