If ACSR is so harmless then why do victims report pedos to the police?

I remember learning about Dr Disrespect's relationship with a minor. The minor reported him. There are other cases like this one where victims report the perpretrators in an attempt to get them convicted.

From what I imagine, this never happened with homosexual relationships. Is there something I am not seeing?

ACSR isn't inherently harmful, but it definitely can be harmful. You cannot use one example to establish a pattern. Also isn't CSA under reported compared to other crimes?

Homosexual relationships are not a valid comparison, since in this case, the entire relationship, including both participants have been criminalized and therefore implicated. The only defense against complicity is rape or assault.

Minors can report at will, even relationships they participated in willingly, if they have some kind of a grievance.

From this point of view, would it be more appropriate to compare it to interracial relationships in a historical period when they were illegal? Would there be the same social and family pressure to report it? Would family members and neighbors report it as well? And at the same time, would such a relationship become a tool for blackmail or revenge on the part of the “victim”?

I would say it likely would in many ways. There's the moral fairytale of MAPs being sexually assaulted in prison as a form of vengeance against them, and historically white men have sexually abused and forcibly feminized black and brown men during slavery. Meanwhile, love for nonwhite women was seen as 'beneath' a white man, and the kids born from those relationships were considered a shameful secret. Recent news section articles about the scandal of women becoming pregnant with a minor's child remind me of this. Furthermore, just like with a preference for minors, the socially acceptable partner (white women, adult women) for the man is often envious and jealous of the stereotypical features of nonwhite women or minors, trying either to emulate their appearance or else degrade the women/girls who caught the eye of men they wanted. Curvy features more typical on some black women were of particular note to these older beauty standards, wide hips and large breasts, and black women with those traits would either be mocked for features considered more masculine that they had (in their shoulders or face, as white men's noses tend to be bigger than white women's) or else derided as whores and unfitting for the role of wife and mother (we still this today in the stereotype of the welfare queen to an extent). Nowadays, we see lots of anti-MAP takes from women about how the idealization of shortness, large eyes, thinness, and delicate features is an evil pedophilic anti-feminist conspiracy, and MILFs are becoming a new trend in terms of what women are considered most attractive, conveniently sidestepping the fact that there might be underage teens and boys (and girls who like women too) who want to have sex with them. After all, as upstanding women interested in men themselves, they could never stoop so low, and they completely ignore MAPs of their own gender.

Admittedly, the most vivid picture of the faux victim in a taboo relationship I can think of is from fiction, though the work is considered a classic. In To Kill a Mockingbird, if I recall correctly, the text of the court argument seems to imply that the white woman who accuses a black man of raping her tried to kiss said black man and was rejected by him, was seen by her father kissing this black man, and subsequently beaten by him. As the black man in question had one injured arm and the blow to her face seemed to come from that side, it explained her injuries that were being used as evidence against him in the trial.

Interracial sex does not really interest me.
