Why I find the ABDL fetish (and to a lesser extent blueberry inflation) problematic

I've sifted through many DA users' Favourites galleries, and I've stumbled upon MANY who had fetish art to some degree. Some galleries had adults, but others had minors. Many fetishes aren't associated with pedophilia per se, but one fetish stood out: diapers/ABDL. I know I might get some flak for this, but all of the users I found who were into diapers (save for a couple or so) were noticeable pedophiles. There were aged down characters, characters who had the same body proportions as kids or babies, and even screenshots of canonical babies wearing diapers (YUCK!). Diapers were clearly made for babies in mind, and the fact that a sexual fetish can originate from anything is quite concerning. Another case in point is the blueberry inflation fetish, which originates from a fictional child. Violet Beauregarde is around 10 to 11 in the original book, and the actresses in the 1971 and 2005 movies were 13 and 11 respectively during filming. Many blueberry fetish arts depict the character in the original clothes either of those two wore in the movies. Some lazily crop an existing character's head and paste it onto a screenshot of Violet as a blueberry from any of the two movies. They're basically plastering a cartoon head onto a canonical child. Many accounts of different fetishes suffer from pedophilia, but ABDL seems to have it the worst. I'm not saying everyone who's into ABDL is a pedophile. Some ABDL people don't have a sexual fetish and just want to transport themselves back to when they were babies. Some who do have a diaper fetish don't have a fetish of babification. But nearly all the users with an ABDL fetish I personally found were heavily implied to be pedophiles. What's your opinion on all of this?
