Its because they know screaming the word "pedo" is still a very effective bludgeon and will cause their enemies to devolve into a schism of fighting each other over it. Its the only one that still works now that misogynist, racist, x-phobe and all ceased to sufficiently do so. They don't care about kids beyond maybe getting to fuck them. They just know if they say it that a huge swath of their opposition will devolve into arguing about it and then become weaker for it.
Look at how many "alt-tech" companies and forums, even this one, will become a shitshow over the "loli question." Entire hardline principled stances will instantly end in a chaotic mess of emotional screaming that just ends up dividing us further over hypothetical possible crimes it might lead to while they stay united and strong.
Which is even more ironic, because the places being torn apart over the loli thing are usually pretty anti gay. And shota is such an overwhelmingly gay thing that people created the specification straight shota because heterosexual shota material are a subset.
It even has less capable defenders. Most things tarred as "lolicon" are adult or high school girls that are just anime looking. Technically correct but clearly someone's distaste overriding logic. Shota is only prepubescent boys, because those youngish looking high school/adult characters are just not acknowledged as part of it.
So the one that is "guys like young looking girls" is the big discussion that everyone must condemn, and the one that is entirely about preying on only underaged boys and raping them is a funny after thought for wacky girls and homos to enjoy, those rascals.
Which is probably the biggest "horseshoe theory" possible between both the Left and Right.

And its always the loli question and never the shota question for some reason. You even get female shotacons bashing on lolicons . Fucking sexism.

shota is male version of loli. Shotacon is someone who likes petite male anime characters
While people who defend loli usually include shota indirectly, I am surprised stupid hoes who like shotacon hate lolicon.
