I'm gonna drop some truths here, fite me.
Is loli a form of pedophilia? Yes. It is. Its consumers are terrible people. They are not criminals, in that the law is only concerned with preventing the exploitation of actual children. Our bill of rights is exceptionally permissive of offensive ideas, but simply because we tolerate something to exist does not constitute a moral endorsement.
Lolicons are like people who abuse ritalin. It doesn't make it "not meth" simply because you're not cooking it from Sudafed and batteries.
Damn wish I could find it but I remember reading an article or seeing a video on psychologists that deal with reform therapy for actual pedophiles in prison. They use loli like a nicotine patch for smokers and one of the psychologists they interviewed said that when he started he was anti pedo and the like but 2 weeks after treating a bunch of prisoners he drifted more to apathy when some couldn't control urges and some had fallen deep into that hole to develop an obsession.
Him working with these prisoners changed his opinion on the issue.
I know of what you speak of. The fact that it works as a substitute supports my position.
My stance is this: Lolicons, are not better people than the people they deride as pedophiles. They ARE pedophiles, and they're just taking a very narrow definition of the word to make themselves undeservedly feel better than they should.
If a man constantly goes out with women who look like children or teenagers, I'd say that he was a pedo who was dealing with his urges through legal means. Of course that's better than actually committing the act of pedophilia, but at the same time they aren't our people. All deviancy must be rejected, not one bit should be tolerated.
That's what I've been saying.
