Lolicon is not linked to actual pedophilia and it’s not dangerous and completely legal, meaning it’s not any type of paraphilia. The way I see lolicon is an art form/kink. It’s illegal to share pornographic content with minors. There’s an actual or potential victim in this case and that makes it pedophilia. Using loli to groom actual children is illegal and wrong. A pedophile can absolutely be a lolicon but not all lolicons are pedophiles. I’ve found no evidence that being attracted to a seemingly underage character means you’re attracted to them in real life. Pedophilia is a mental illness that’s debatably a sexuality. The main argument I hear is how if you start out liking lolicon you’ll become interested in real children or that lolicon is used to normalize the idea of pedophilia. If that’s therapeutic, why are we trying to stop people from doing so? She said that in his treatment he was asked to draw the situation that happened. Kristin Piper regularly posts updates about him.
There’s an actual case where a minor was diagnosed with pedophilia, had 2 victims, and underwent treatment. It’s perfectly normal and healthy to express yourself through art. She could look 5 but Actually be a 1000+ year old dragon, or have the body of a 20 year old and actually be a child.
Yes, con does quite literally mean pedophile and loli a young girl, but in this case I’m talking about the genre of anime and manga.Īge in anime is literally just a number.
