how is this NOT pedophilia

i go onto the subreddit for pocd and i think i might be attracted to children in anime which scares me bc that means i’m a pedophile. they tell me it’s not pocd. how is that NOT pocd?? finding a character that looks, acts, sounds like a child is literally pedophilia even if it’s fictional.. how is it not pedophilia?? i think i’m a pedophile in denial honestly, i just can’t accept it. i mean i don’t look at lli/shta stuff but whenever i see a child in an anime i believe i’m attracted to them. even when i’m not in this spiral and haven’t even worried about being a pedophile it does this..
