It's through means of stepping stones. Let's say they're at step 1 which is now and step 10 is pedophilia being accepted. People would outcry if they just jumped straight to 10, so they instead go to step 2, which might draw some eyes but nowhere 10. Over a few years step 2 becomes normal, and it's interpreted as step 1, but now step 9 is pedophilia being accepted, which is a shorter distance than 1 to 10.
Then 20 years later when they're at step 9 (which is again step 1 in the new context), it's easy to take one step to step 10 (which is 2 in the new context), eyeing the same amount of light criticism they've received from the original step 1 to step 2. Congratulations, blatant pedophilia is now accepted into normal society and if you have a problem with it people will say it's not so different from step 9 so stop crying about it.
