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.
What is the issue here. ? Certain people see "ITS LITERALLY A KID" whilst others see "anime character " that is what is going on.
