Abusers might use lolicon to groom children, which is morally reprehensible, yes. But why is that the OP's responsibility? Sie understands that lolicon is 100 percent fictional, and should not be recreated in RL at all. Why should sie have to censor the type of media sie likes just because a couple sick fucks use it to abuse real children? If I use The Anarchist Cookbook to build a bomb and kill someone, should the book be censored?

You beat me to it, but yeah, it's not like there's a huge part of the population who likes animal fighting just because they like Pokemon

Look, okay, I'm too tired for this game right now. I'll just say I can't help being suspicious of people who are super invested in defending fictional pedo wank fodder because it's technically ~free speech~ or whatever. I can't think of a non-horrible reason to.

(Also the Anarchist Cookbook is actually pretty much 100% bullshit, but that's another story)

The thing is, it's not some "game." When you use a bad argument in the name of what is certainly a good cause (protecting children from rapists), that doesn't make it stop being a bad argument, but it will make people think they can use the same bad argument in other cases (like video games and violence, or something). It's not the drawing or the comics or whatever that are hurting children -- it's the child rapists. Going after the comics rather than the child rapists doesn't protect anyone. Unless you seriously think there are child molesters who give up on raping kids because they can't find enough lolicon to groom them with, I don't see the point of using a fundamentally bad argument to go on crusade here.

And don't try to insinuate that I'm somehow invested in child porn or something, because I don't even read this shit. It's just that your argument is bad, and it's bad in a way that has consequences.

Why is lolicon so important to you. Seriously.

Reread the last paragraph of the comment you just replied to. Or possibly, read it for the first time.

I did read it. I can't understand why you'd defend this if you have no investment in it. I'm done here, you clearly have enough problems as it is.

Someone here does, if that's your idea of an appropriate way to end a discussion.

you got the last word, HERE'S YOUR TROPHY!!!

They don't need one because they actually won the argument...

You have difficulty thinking about things that make you uncomfortable, don't you?

Ok, I'll bite and try to explain this.

Yes, there's a minority of lolicon fans who are not pedophiles. Said minority looks like the majority because they're the most loud, and the ones you'll likely see on internet forums. However, the whole product is created for a majority of readers who enjoy sexualizing children. Not 'fictional' children. CHILDREN in general.

What lolicon does, besides being used to groom victims, is to normalize the idea that children are sexual beings and will want relationships with grownups. Just a couple of weeks ago, I had to read the heartwrenching story of a japanese girl who explained that in Japan child molestation is practically down to an art, which explains why they produce so much borderline legal pornographic material that is completely aimed to pedophiles. That you, and the OP, and some other hundreds of lolicon fans would never touch a child in an inappropriate manner doesn't change the fact that this crap and the whole industry behind it allows for the idea that children, real children, can consent to sex.
Yes, the drawings don't hurt the children. But the reason why the drawings exist? It's because there's a huge public that is willing to buy the fantasy that children are sexual objects in order to justify their acts.

You're going to need to start throwing out citations you going to make claims like these.

I'm not willing to put here the conversation with the Japanese girl as a) it was in spanish, and b) she got told by a lot of idiots that she deserved to be raped for being a prude. BUT regarding the incredibly lax situation of pedophilia and ephebophilia in Japan, here:

Now, regarding the fact that it's made for pedophiles, seriously? What other kind of people would like to see children in explicit sexual situations designated to arouse the viewer?

(reply from suspended user)

Gotta love how people completely ignore all the sexualizing of real children that goes on right here at home. Just the other day I saw a girl who couldn't have been older than 12 wearing booty shorts, a midriff top, sandals with heels, and makeup.

She looked like a miniature hooker and she wasn't even old enough to have developed breasts yet. Sorry, but that's way grosser than any loli manga. Loli manga isn't real kids.

What other kind of people would like to see children in explicit sexual situations designated to arouse the viewer?

speaking from the perspective of western fandom, i don't know about lolicon so much, but i've seen a lot of people who like shotacon often identifying with the object of sexual desire rather than just getting off to objectifying little kids

in a lot of cases it seems almost like a kind of... ageplay fantasy, where it taps into the feelings they had back when they were first discovering and exploring their sexuality and that sort of thing, but maintain a clear separation from anything involving real kids and are just as squicked as anyone else when it comes to seeing them objectified

*shrug*

i'm not saying shotacon and lolicon are good things or that they aren't harmful, but i do think there are quite a few factors that can tie into the enjoyment of that kind of material that don't necessarily mark someone as a child molestor

Thank you for this comment.

I was…shocked? at all the negative reactions towards lolicon. I don't mind it although I don't actively read or watch lolicon-themed series. I'm neither a pedophile nor do I condone child pornography or sexualizing children in reality.

Fictional characters are fictional to me; I've never seen real children who behave like these lolis in fictional series. There is just such a clear gap for me between real children and fictional children that I can't be angry or feel disgusted towards lolicon.

And yeah, I'm a girl if that is of any relevance.

You shouldn't be at all surprised that people have a negative emotional reaction to something that is asthetically connected to child molestation.

Fictional characters are fictional to me; I've never seen real children who behave like these lolis in fictional series. There is just such a clear gap for me between real children and fictional children that I can't be angry or feel disgusted towards lolicon.

this exactly. lolicon has always seemed to be more of a sort of ageplay/power dynamics thing to me because like the above anon, everyone i know who has any interest in shota/lolicon imagines themselves as the child rather than the adult. like a sort of "hot for teacher/boss/someone they shouldn't be" sort of fantasy where it's "safe" because when you're imagining yourself as the younger side there's a sort of innocence and lack of responsibility there.

Although it's true that lolicon can and is used to harm children, it's more of a tool used by people who already have such depravity instead of the actual cause.

Equating lolicon and child porn does more harm that good, since it takes away attention of far more problematic stuff like child porn and child prostitution.

And please don't think that I'm defending lolicon. I hate it and understand why I can be harmful, but it's naive to insist than fictions equals reality and should be deal with it in the same way.
If anything, that kind of arguments also do more harm than anything else, since changing "lolicon" with "violent movies" or something else shows why equating fiction and reality is not only a bad argument, but also a good way to not being taken seriously.

Should it be censored? Maybe, maybe not. Am I going to call you a fucking pervert if you like child porn, even if it's drawn and fictional? Yes. If you enjoy the sexualization of children, you're a creepy fucker.
