First, anime is a medium. Children's books and story hour can be and are being used to groom children too. You can be opposed to inappropriate media that directly targets children as their audience without trying to be against that media when it only targets a niche audience of adults. Basically, don't let your children watch anime that is intended for adults.
Your second assertion is false. People cared about Cuties because actual children were involved in the production of the film. People didn't care about drag shows until they started showing up in schools and parents started bringing their children to the shows.
Im opposed to loli porn because indulging deviant sexual arousal is for a fact more likely to make someone offend and not as people like to claim divert pedophiles from molesting kids
Those actually are really good responses to both, and I do absolutely get the difference between the two, but I don’t think the general public is going to care when the pendulum swings back because all they’re gonna think is “all the people who’re trying to make my kid transition watch these weird Japanese cartoons and those cartoons have child-looking characters doing sexual shit and I don’t want it to exist”, as seen with the Satanic panic of the late 90s and early 00s due to Pokemon, MTG, DND, Yugioh, etc.
Hopefully that doesn’t happen but I don’t have faith in that.
