The lolicon issue that a lot of conservatives are trying to start by linking it to trans is a non-starter and to their detriment. Plus it alienates those who hold conservative opinions but like anime.
Lolicon works off a separation of reality and fiction. You can do WHATEVER you want to a drawing, it's a drawing it has no agency but ask the majority of lolicons if they think kids should be sexually active and they'll beat the shit out of you...if they can some really need to exercise more.
Trans LIVES in fiction, thinking that gender can be changed like clothes and that sex is an entitlement to all INCLUDING children with how much they try to include kids in their activities.
Trying to conflate lolicon and trans is like conflating Jews and Muslims. You are taking two groups that hate each other to be both pissed at you and see you as the enemy.
Plus it alienates those who hold conservative opinions but like anime.
That's like saying that denouncing Lolita would alienate people who like War and Peace - just because they're both Russian literature doesn't mean people are going to like both or neither.
You need to seperate the sexual side from the actual body type when discussing lolicon. It's been a part of anime for decades.
To go ' this thing you do in your media that does not directly harm anyone, you should stop doing it because I don't like it' is right out of a leftist playbook.
Don't fall into the trap of saying something shouldn't exist when it doesn't directly harm anyone to make it. I'd be more concerned with AI made stuff ...

I assumed this topic was only about the sexual content.
How very naiive. Give an inch, they will take a mile.
