How do anime fans justify liking and sharing loli content?

and is harmful

Liking an imaginary character is harmful? What about liking violent action scenes? That's different because it's fake, right? Oh wait...

Man she could break her with those thighs

Jacking off and playing violent video games are not the same thing. You can use the same excuse for theater and filmed incidents. It doesn't change the fact that the receiver is getting horny by it.

It doesn't change the fact that the receiver is getting horny by it.

And what about it? To who is that causing any kind of harm whatsoever?

They're harming themselves by indulging in that paraphilia and that can eventually lead them to doing harm to others.

False and false (latter in both interpretations).

This is basic human psychology

So you're saying that people are harming themselves by indulging in violent movies, anime, songs, games, other works of art and media, etc... and this might eventually lead to total societal collapse and civil war in 2 more weeks? Wow... crazy. Anyway...

if you feel good at killing a npc in a game or getting your score up, then you're as good as an edgy murderer. It will eventually make you stab someone irl

You're gooning over minor characters. How is that not harmful?

Also, don't forget that you deserve jail time when you get unjustifiably wronged and imagine the person wronging you getting their comeuppance. How dare you think badly about someone else!

Because it doesn't harm anyone, retard.
Get back to red.dit, they love seriously having these discussions with outcomes that you will prefer.

You're enjoying violent media. How is that not harmful? Murderer! Psychopath!

You're satisfied at killing game mobs. How is that not harmful?

please go back

These drawings aren't abstract blobs, dude. These characters are specifically drawn to depict prepubescent traits while being sexualized or engaging in sexual activity. If these traits weren't present, you wouldn't be interested. You're attempting to rationalize your pedophilia. The drawings are depictions of children. The fact that a real human being hasn't been victimized yet makes it a good time to seek therapy. Because you are afflicted with pedophilia.

i hope you kill yourself tranny

The npc in the game isn't an abstract blob, it is drawn with person traits yadda yadda
boring.

Uh-huh. Totally. I'm glad we disagree. Enjoy not being able to move on.

No argument

Lol

The harm is in porn addiction and hatred against actual women.

you are literally a 19 year old tranny from twitter trying to spread your cancer to Anon Babble, please off yourself

How about refuting the argument?

how about becoming a statistic?

deal with it lol

Therapy doesn't make the attraction go away. In fact, therapy would be about accepting yourself and to live our your sexuality in a socially acceptable way, like looking at drawings.

post lolis that you absolutely would

False.

ignore niggers and post kannas big fat juicy ass

So you admit it's pedophilia?

For me, it's mature adult women only, because I'm not a fucking pedophile.

sauce?
not too into kanna sorry

That is something nobody can agree on. My post was under the assumption that you're prejudiced enough to consider it pedophilia strictly.

wow, ai is getting good

It's fiction

TRVTH NVKE

I still love how nobody can actually refute this lol

Well loli's have been in anime from the start so I got no problem with them. Why are loli's and fan service the biggest low hanging fruit for normalfags to complain about? Shotacon's never get any flack and they're all over anime

built for thick ropes

luv little boys

All we need is them paired with old ojisans.

That's entirely incidental, actually.

Women are smaller than men. More small = more feminine.

Ah- ah, K-Kanna-chan, I-I'm gonna- I'm gonna~!

They aren't real, so you can focus more on their bodies more than their ages. Age in anime is completely random. Yoko Littner looks like she's 27 when she's canonically 14, while plenty of canonically adult characters are short, flat, and petite, so numbers clearly mean nothing in fantasy. Just look at Dekomori for example. She's a teenager, but if I told you that she was in her early 20s with this curvy figure and that dumptruck, you'd probably believe me. This loophole does not exist in reality for obvious reasons. Fictional characters don't suffer trauma. Real children do. Arguing that drawings have the same rights as real children dehumanizes real children.

That said, Anon Babble is still the only place where I feel safe enough to let out all my lolicon horniness because it still grosses most people out and I'd rather not forcibly subject people who aren't into it to my fantasies.

FINALLY SOMEONE THATS NORMAL THANKS

Little dragons need their milk

The thought police is striking again

What can I do about my lolicon attraction bros? I think it’s becoming some sort of OCD. I find myself on sad panda and the boorus every day trying to “check” if I’m no longer attracted to fictional kids

le accept yourself

Is this really the answer? Just accept this attraction and don’t take it beyond 2D?

Did the mods change and the new ones have stopped killing shit baits?

The moralfag menace cannot possibly stand up to the petabytes of loli artwork we can throw at them

these kanna ais are really hot, did you gen them yourself or is there a general somewhere or something?

Is this really the answer?

yes, in most cases at least. some people are attracted to lolis only because they don't really have morals, and in that case having morals could change it, but most people who are into loli are into it because of mental illness / trauma / some other bullshit, and like all things in that regard, all you can really do is live with it.

Made them myself with NovelAI

Is this really the answer? Just accept this attraction and don’t take it beyond 2D?

In psychiatric, it definitely is. In normalfag discourse, the only solution is le kill yourself for immoral thoughts, but even the dumbest normalfag should understand how that isn't suitable to get people to act socially confirming.

psychiatry*

I see. Thanks, anons. I guess that’s just how it is. I’ll learn to accept myself and live with it. Especially as I don’t want to kill myself kek

fiction is reality because it just is, ok?

Lots of fetishes are weird and fucked up to the normalfag eye (and even ours considering Anon Babble and Anon Babble, let's be real), but so are mass murder, torture, and so on commonly depicted in media. The line of what is/isn't an acceptable fantasy is completely arbitrary and not calling out fucked up behavior in media generally represents a double standard (especially with feminists and trannies). That said, most people recognize that fantasies in fiction don't equate to an actual desire outside of fiction. Plenty of 2D aficionados think actual kids are disgusting for many reasons. Women want to be whisked away and "raped" by a Greek adonis and not by a fat Pajeet. And keep in mind the retards that DO get arrested for loli possession are because they exposed their power levels and have even bigger collections of actual CP. Ditto with those that scorn 2D but turn a blind eye to child sex slavery.

Anyway, there should be more art of Kanna thighfucking.

There's no need to justify anything to anyone.

some people are attracted to lolis only because they don't really have morals

felt like how i described this was kinda stupid, but what i'm talking about mostly is like, oh sometimes young people see loli porn and they just don't think anything of it and think it's fine, so they're just neutral on it, but when they grow up they might be moralfagged into thinking it's hitler. but if you're genuinely a pedophile or whatever, good fucking luck with that lol. i tried swearing off lolis for like a year and internalizing moralfag rhetoric, i can tell you it just doesn't really work
very nice
seconding this, i'm not a psychiatrist or therapist by any means, but i've taken a couple classes by people in the business and know enough to know that this is exactly what will happen. in the civilized world things are not as childish as people like op (faggot) thinks
proud of you, it's not easy that's for sure
also this

What are these prepubescent traits exactly? Because unless the loli in question is a literal toddler, being short, flat, and petite with a youthful face and voice is not the indication of age you think it is. It's more common than you think for adult women to not look and sound their age. There's a reason why so many women get mistaken for children all the time. If those traits were inherently childlike, then everyone who watches loli vtubers would also be a pedophile, even those vtubers are fully-grown adults.

because of mental illness / trauma / some other bullshit,

I doubt these are actual reasons.

it is but people misunderstand what mental illness is, neurodivergence is simply having a brain that is different from the norm, being attracted to children is, obviously, different from the norm, so that is what it is. trauma can lead to neurodivergence as well, because of obvious reasons. there's quite a few people who have been raped as a child who use loli to cope or whatever, pretty common in female lolicons
trannies also are frequently obsessed with lolis because of feeling like they've been robbed of a female childhood, et cetera, it's pretty fascinating

There's a massive difference in traits between an adult woman and a child. That's some insane mental gymnastics and coping. Even women who look young will still have adult features.

As a regular Koseki Bijou watcher, I can tell you that you'd be surprised. She's a flat dwarf irl who sounds like a 12 year old, yet she's still a fully grown adult who lives on her own. People like her are the reason why always asking for consent regardless of appearances is the absolute rule.

It depends, but the body types can be suspiciously close. It's not surprising that there's a strong overlap. Nature doesn't care about the assigned age. Did you know that inclusion of hebephilia in the DSM was rejected, out of fear of pathologizing biologically normal attraction?

If you're getting off to any of the other things you listed, people will think that's weird too.

im a pedophile idiot

who cares?

justify

I don't have to have to justify anything, normaltard

You already said this

A full grown woman will still display secondary sexual characteristics even if they look young. You are flat out deranged.

Everybody loves Kanna

Sex with Kanna.

cuz you're not coercing actual children into anything, it's just drawings.

Many lolis have visible breast and hip development. IRL, many girls below the age of consent are fully developed women biologically. You're flat out retarded.

Who's being hurt? Genuine question.

I mean yeah, it looks like a kid, but you're not actually manipulating a child into sex. Nobody's getting hurt. So what's wrong with it?

All actual data shows the exact opposite.
Availability of (adult) porn lowers rates of (adult) sexual assault.
Availability of (real) child porn lowers rates of (real) child sexual assault.
The problem with (real) child porn is that the (real) child obviously can not (legally) consent, and as such reproduction / sharing of the material is illegal. However none of those issues applies to (fictional) loli material.

Your options are thus the following:
1) Take up the mantle of "feelings and outrage and what I find uncomfortable are the most important thing", and thus crusade against loli and shota material.
2) Take up the mantle of "real actual people are what's important", and take up the mantle of being pro expression of potentially uncomfortable concepts in fiction.

P.S. The "X fiction encourages X behavior in the real world!" is also the same (discredited) idea that was attempted to censor violent video games. Hope you don't like RPGs, FPSs, and the like.

anon's feelings

character ages and physical attributes in fictional media are highly arbitrary
real children do not look like that

bullshit data, considering the fact that most "sexual assaults" (guess we don't call it rape anymore) are not reported, even if they are reported they can't be proven, and even if they are proven the preperators are usually unpunished or punished mildly (settlement with victim, short prison sentence on probation etc)

and this applies to pedophile rapists too. google Steven van de Velde

These drawings aren't abstract blobs, dude. These characters are specifically drawn to depict human traits while being tortured or subjected to violent activity. If these traits weren't present, you wouldn't be interested. You're attempting to rationalize your homicidal tendencies. The drawings are depictions of humans. The fact that a real human being hasn't been victimized yet makes it a good time to seek therapy. Because you are afflicted with sadism.

To be honest, 95% of kids look like little goblins that are meant to be suplexed.

kek.

they're right /a has been buckbroken

The faggot tranny wears the mask of morality to gaslight and decieve.

homicidal tendencies

Aren't you projecting too much?

seek therapy

They're going to tell you to live with your feelings and to find legal outlets, like lolicon.

a good time to seek therapy

This shit kills me. Imagine going to a mental health professional so you can tell them you jack off to cartoons

The idea that "muh therapy will fix all your problems" is the biggest meme grift of the last decade.

Loli enjoyers are indigenous to Anon Babble and maybe the internet in general.

If it's -that- traumatizing to you, you could actually lose/gain new fetishes through (time extensive) clockwork orange style therapy.
Also a minor note that the novel was much better than the movie which dropped the entire last chapter to give a 180 degree different ending. The novel's ending had him actually rehabilitate to a "normal" person whereas the movie's ending was "hehehe it's inherent, and unchangeable! FUND THE PRISON SYSTEMS FOR THESE IRRECONCILABLE EVIL DOERS!"
Again tl:dr; it's possible to change but question the cost to reward payoff.

However I would ask you "why do you care". If you're inclusive, i.e. attracted to other things as well, then just enjoy that content by yourself and the other things with other people i.e. mate, partner, spouse, whatever.
If you're exclusive, more understandable, but again you can just enjoy whatever alone and not make it part of your external identity like the literal faggots at pride parades do.
Everyone has their shadows, be it furries, trannies, sadists, murderers, whatever. There's no reason to inflict the world with what you know should be hidden. Conversely, as long as it's hidden, there's no reason for the world to dig it up. Live and let live.
In my eyes legitimate pedos are no different than garden variety faggots. Do whatever behind closed doors, don't talk about it in public, don't attempt to change society to make it "acceptable" for you to bring into the public

If those traits were inherently childlike, then everyone who watches loli vtubers would also be a pedophile

You are aware that currently twitch is banning vtubers left and right because APPARENTLY a lot of people legitimately believe this, kek.

how come

Yes, I came here because I jack off to cartoons and some random fuck on the internet told me to come.

considering the fact that most "sexual assaults" (guess we don't call it rape anymore) are not reported

Sexual assault includes things such as molestation (i.e. groping) which isn't rape by anyone's definition.

bullshit data

I'll provide you with the most neutral data source I believe you will accept.
sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1359178909000445
"Although these data cannot be used to determine that pornography has a cathartic effect on rape behavior, combined with the weak evidence in support of negative causal hypotheses from the scientific literature, it is concluded that it is time to discard the hypothesis that pornography contributes to increased sexual assault behavior."

Even if you take that to mean "haha, it doesn't lower rape rates! suck it!" that also means it doesn't raise it, and thus there's no cause to ban the offensive material.
I've written papers on this subject and have argued it for years, and don't wish to do so further today. If you disagree then so be it.
A note though. Rather than simply saying "google X", it's proper etiquette to link the sources yourself, as I have done.
