I’ll chime in here as well. I think one thing to separate is producers and consoomers. I don’t enjoy loli, but as it’s drawn I’m not entirely disgusted by it, and as someone who is into femdom, I come across a bit of femdom loli or shota material. The thing is, I’m placing myself in the child’s place in the material, because there is height, size, position, and other power dynamics involved that trigger me, and I’m inserting myself mentally into the submissive position. Another example of loli I enjoy is some latex scenes. Now, latex material is rare, but it’s a visual stimulus as well as a tactile one if you’ve played with it. I enjoy smaller breasts, and I love the visuals of light across breasts and butts. I have a thing for gymnast style bodies as well as spandex or form fitting clothing and the clothing cuts involved, but am creeped out by the ages involved in the olympics and the blatant interest in that by the general population, should gymnastics events be banned because “think of the pedos”? Can you get ESPN cancelled for it?
But as others have pointed out here, where exactly is “the line”? Porn is degenerare, but I jerked it to sailor moon. How do you draw a smooth younger anime figure but pin the age in your drawing so that others won’t call it loli or pedo material? You can make it blatantly mature or milfy, but where do high school characters fit into that, and highschool is a good age for story characters.
