I also think you are overestimating how much attention loli gets.

In this case, I was referring to it more as the anti-porn movement in general. The loli portion is minimally discussed relative to that because it generally doesn't come up much. However the anti-coomer motion has picked up enough steam to be a major talking point around all sorts of places unrelated to ideology and one another.

It sounds like they were contained, though.

If you consider "I don't see them" contained sure. They still existed, and did the same things, just in secret. It didn't solve the stated problem of getting rid of them.

Your views don't matter if you can't speak them, and others can't hear them.

Unlike most in these parts I don't just talk this stuff with you guys. I've been talking shit in real life for decades now. I still talk it to my employees regularly, and slowly see the "red pill" (cringe term for it, but effective) take root in them. I've managed to change many minds, make many friends out of former enemies, and even effect many future therapists and clients during my time training/working as a therapist.

My only cage is a theater one I adopt to help my words reach longer and further. If I truly wished to remove it I could, but that's incredibly ineffective and would only hurt my goals.

In fact, most of my interactions in these places is only to help hone my own arguments, and be prepared for the counters I may face. And perhaps a bit of memery and socialization.,

And I would have been radicalized in some form eventually. Traumatic childhoods can do that. Its the form radicalization took that was effected here. The thing that keeps my going is an everburning rage and disgust at the world I see. The things within the world causing that could easily have been something different.
