I’ve never read the manga, but I’d really hesitate to call it pornography of any kind. “Problematic”, yeah, but full-blown child porn? That’s not what would come to mind when I’d think of child porn, even fictional child porn.

I’m aware of that too, but you did say “getting off to loli itself fulfills the requirements of the mental disorder known as pedophilia”- unless you meant that to mean it “fulfills”, but is not enough alone to qualify for that.

And at the end of the day, attraction to lolicon/shotacon is altogether far less…

I completely disagree that getting off to lolicon makes you a pedophile. It’s possible to be aroused by the two dimensional, fictional representation/abstraction of a real thing and have absolutely no interest (if not revulsion) at the fantasy being extended into real life.

That isn’t to deny that it’s still really…

Before I read this post I was going to recommend K-on! and Hibike! Euphonium (known in english as “Sound! Euphonium”), but I’d still give them a shot with her. K-ON! is a show that I honestly think is something that would best appeal to young girls; it somehow does appeal to older males as well (though I saw it ages…

I found it myself before your post, but thanks.

Not shocked at all it turned out to be Fahey. That guy has two young boys too.

I didn’t say it had nothing to do with it. But your post gave the impression that that’s what the industry, overall, is doing, and that any money or attention given to it- an industry as broad as that- is helping that. If you want to be consistent then you might as well say video games are normalizing violence- which…

What are other reasons you basically hate the entire medium?

It hasn’t been around for decades. Or if it has, it was way way way less common in the past.

Inuyasha bordered on child porn to you? That’s a new one.

Haha which coworker is that?

“Here’s some info for you, 99.999% of “lolicons” that like 2D don’t even like real children, in the same way that 99.999% of people who watch BDSM and fake rape porn don’t actually want to rape and/or be raped.”

Those figures seem more than a bit exaggerated. I mean I imagine many people who get off to drawn child…

It really isn’t though. Or atleast, not as endemic as it is in anime. I’m sure you’re aware a lot of anime is regarded as being niche and for weirdos/nerds/losers/peverts, and “otaku” have long been looked down upon.

They certainly are more permissive/indifferent about things that would never fly here though (yet.) But…

So uh, when you say sideye do you mean suspected pedophilia?

“Actually, I think not supporting an industry trying to normalize sexualizing children and making sure my money/ad revenue/views don’t bolster them is a perfectly valid reason to not do something all on it’s own, let alone being part of a greater whole as it is for me.”

Uhhhh normalizing the sexualization of…

Hah yeah, I remember playing a bit of that and knew about the race for awhile, but was really taken aback by how pervasive they are and how much they’d feature in ads. They seem to compose the bulk of fanart for that game too. Go on a site like danbooru and search “tera_online” and almost every single piece of art for…

“Even the Fate franchise, which was mostly safe from that, has shifted towards that and it’s really frustrating as a long-time fan of it.”

The original Fate game was pornographic, and while it didn’t have any pedophilic elements, the writing could be extremely creepy.

Why does this have so many upvotes?

Oh and uh, how did you come to the conclusion every porn store in Japan sells child model material?

And if RK is the least porny anime/manga you’ve ever seen you either have an abhorrent familiarity with the medium or you have a bizarre standard of what qualifies as resembling child porn.
