Needed to make this a main post for the sake of visibility, but in general, I think reset the clock did a lot more damage than help, because of the fact that people believe that the only reason you could ever be against a certain thing, is because you’re engaging in it yourself, when we know for a fact that isn’t the case.
To be specific, it is very much possible to be against loli/shota porn and not be an IRL predator. People like Ableist forget that, while I’m not against it existing per se, I understand why certain places would ban it altogether, and I would actually like for Ableist or anyone else to actually post the specific places where “governments ban loli/shota porn and waste police resources” where people have actually been arrested for the sole possession of that fictional content, because as much as you say that, I’ve never seen it. Unless that’s like a European thing, I’ve generally never heard of that before.
I just don’t get why some people don’t understand why the average person thinks that someone who jerks off to loli/shota porn isn’t right in the head.
From observation I saw more pedos be anti loli and shota than just normal people. People won't like it but it isn't hurting any real human. Pedos on the other hand hate it for some reason and I cannot wrap my head around why.
They don't hate it... it's just safe for them to profess hate in public because it makes them sound anti-CP and nobody's going to check.
They seem to be the most vocal about it, the whole reset the clock also works for the anti lolis turning out to be sexual predators. Maybe it's just deflection of their own deviancy.
It likely creates some kind of disphoria in them, seeing people who are just... let's say "weird", being perfectly fine while they're fucked up in the head, in a situation that is, loosely speaking, somewhat adjacent to them. You say you liked the Negima manga, and they'll go "but those girls with full-time jobs, giant racks, and propensity to wax about nihilist philosophy were only officially 15! Why doesn't everyone hate you like they hate me?"
Bro come on lol.
That would explain why troons are so opposed to it.
They also hate anything cute cuz they will never be.
