Pedophilia is a goddamn mental problem. By saying loli is a form of pedophilia you are saying that everyone that likes loli has the same mental sickness as someone who actually wants to fuck children.

I explained this in another thread already, and I'll explain it here too. They are not the same fucking thing. Saying they are, is like saying someone who jerks it to rape porn, is a sicko who wants to actually rape someone/be raped in real life. No.

These are fictional erotica, designed to appeal to specific fantasies that are desired by the consumers. For rape, it's the feeling of either taking, or relinquishing control. For loli, I assume people like it because of the "taboo" or "forbidden indulgence", the feeling of enjoying something that's supposed to be off limits. This is why hentai usually portrays lolis with none of the downsides they'd have in real life. Instead they're clean, experienced, have unrealistic body shapes, and aren't traumatized at the end of the story.

In real life, these fantasies don't happen. When a woman is actually raped, she doesn't get a feeling of liberation from relinquishing control. Instead, she just feels miserable, because she's being fucking raped. In the same vain, most people who enjoy lolicon are probably don't desire real children, because they are nothing like hentai. There is no "forbidden indulgence" to be had in real life, because real kids are gross and annoying, and they would be traumatized.

So no, lolicon is not pedophilia, in the same way that people who like rape porn don't wish they could rape someone/be raped in real life. But please, feel free to keep insisting that people who jerk it to completely fictional drawings have mental problems equivalent to some of the most heinous criminals on planet earth. If you ask me, anyone who believes that is the one with the mental problem.
