IS LOLICON PEDOPHILIA?
Are you ready for some hardcore banter, faggots? Today I ask the ultimate question. Is lolicon pedophilia/hebephilia? And no, I don't mean does loli==CP, or does loli==the medical paraphilia in it's entirety which requires the obsession to interfere with your regular judgement and daily life. I mean, does sexual attraction to cartoon representations of little girls==sexual attraction to children, the laymen's definition and most common usage of the word pedophilia.
I will make this argument, as a devil's advocate, that lolicon is almost definitely pedophilia. It is jacking off to the concept of fucking children. You won't find many sane people arguing that a man that primarily consumes regular straight hentai without deviations to faggotry isn't heterosexual just because he thinks 3D is PD. The same can be said of a man who jacks off to hard gay muscle yaoi almost definitely being homosexual. Japan doesn't see the difference. When they say lolicon, it can mean fiction, reality, or both. Here is a translated page of Comic LO, a prime and popular lolicon magazine that is arguably representative of the voices of lolicons in Japan. It clearly uses lolicon to refer to attraction to real children. LO is published with an audience of pedophiles in mind, by the mangaka themselves.
Now don't mistake my argument. The idea of lolicon being pedophilia is not antithetical to being pro-lolicon. Assuming it is pedophilia, it thus reasons that loli serves as a safe outlet for pedophiles that is harm free since it requires no children for its creation. Japan proves it doesn't increase child sexual abuse cases. It's also a matter of freedom of speech & expression that lolicon should be able to freely exist. These are both principle and practical justifications to be pro-lolicon, even if it is pedophilia.
Yes I am a lolicon as I consume a large amount of it relative to other hentai. No, I have no attraction to real children, but I can't prove to myself or others that what is true of me is true of the majority of lolicons. It also can't be argued that since most lolicons claim to not like real kids, that they don't like real kids, since thePost too long. Click here to view the full text.
