By its literal definition, if you lust after depictions of children (real or fake), you are a pedophile. The problem is the term encapsulates multiple levels of degeneracy that range from distasteful to evil:
Fake child porn and nothing else? I wouldn't send you to jail but I would also make sure you never coach my kid's soccer team, or work with kids in general.
Have Real Child Porn? Jail.
Distributing real child porn? Death.
Grooming Children? Woodchipper.
Raping children? Drawn and quartered (and fed to a woodchipper).
Running a child sex ring? See above, but not before you are tortured mercilessly to catch your accomplices.
The problem is, everything you listed after the first is already not only illegal, but so heavily illegal they will send in Swat teams to arrest you for it even if there is no imminent danger to be found.
I'd go so far as to say the amount of detail you went into regarding the same handful of crimes with minor differences shows this isn't nearly as much about justice or protecting innocents, as it is bloodthirst and having a free target to let it out on.
I don't even disagree with you in doing so, but its that exact reaction that The Powers That Be are banking on. You being blinded by indignant rage and righteous anger on a free target that you cut down every law in the land to get the devil. Because those Elites aren't going to be beholden to these laws, Podesta will never get arrested for having wierd child-porn esque art all over. And yet they rape more kids in a single lifetime than a state's worth of common child predators.
I was just putting the fact that there are layers into comedic terms. The fact is people who consume loli are in denial that they are pedophiles, but they are not inherently evil (just deranged).
Consume it how? This may seem pedantic but its a very important question.
Consume actual pornographic images of girls drawn to look young? Consume content with loli characters in it that isn't meant to be pornographic in any way? Consume anime at all?
Because the big deceit here is that most of the people here arguing in favor of banning are only looking at that first category (the one of obvious pedos) while the people actually writing the laws and screaming the loudest about this make no distinction between the first and the second/third.
Something dumb and milquetoast like Ichigo Mashimaro is filled with loli characters, but has no sexual elements in the slightest. The only difference between it and a Western cartoon centered around little girls is one is anime, which means its now loli specifically and thereby in the same category as hardcore pornography for people discussing this.
These little minute details are meaningless squabbling when its just a conversation, but once you enter the realm of legally binding they become the difference between a dude with weird hobbies and a felony sex offender.
