I just can’t, and sadly it’s worst in Linux community. Like dude’s face hair makes him look 45, but no, he does a desktop with a cringy looking 15 old anime girl. (That, on top of hiz annoyingly high pitched voice but whatever) I just stop watching the video on the spot, it’s beyond dumb.
The stupid NSFW tag on Lemmy? I turned it ON to occasionally see boobs, not some drawn pictures of underage kiddo, this pisses me off so much, JUST FCKING STAHP with this shit.
I have an impression suddenly, in a span of 2 years everyone started to jerk off on that bullshit and are proud to show it
But it’s a fantasy involving a drawing that could represent anything. If they’re not actually attracted to real kids, they’re not a pedophile.
It could represent anything but what is it representing in this specific case? Yeah.
Well, for a lot of people it’s not actual kids. So I don’t know what to tell you
What do they represent if not kids?
The same thing furries represent. Just characters, that don’t necessarily have an age, or gender, or species. It’s the abstract representation of something you can project onto for various fantasies. Maybe they like that they’re small, or cute, but don’t necessarily relate it to a real life kid. When I look at furry stuff I’m not thinking about it in terms of real animals. They’re completely different and they only bear a superficial resemblance to animals, just like an anime character only bears a superficial resemblance to a human.
What separates those specific characters from your regular anime characters?
Again, nothing, that’s my point, they’re all friggen drawings, and don’t necessarily correlate to anything real. This whole argument is about assigning an arbitrary number to a drawing. And unless you’re going to tell me that liking yiff makes you into bestiality, you understand my point and can stop asking questions.
Pretty interesting that those people are looking specifically for that certain category of material and that such a category exists separate from regular anime characters when nothing separates them from the rest of the anime characters.
I’m not actually asking those questions to know the answer, it’s just to see you running around in circles trying to avoid the obvious conclusion. Lolis are lolis because they’re supposed to be recognized as kids, for their age and looks. People who specifically look out for material featuring drawn children in sexual situations or just in general to jerk off to it is looking at that material because they’re drawn and identified as kids. Person who is sexually into that type of stuff is a pedophile. You’re going around and around saying “but it’s drawn, it doesn’t mean anything”. Yeah, it doesn’t mean anything that they’re specifically looking for drawn stuff featuring children. It doesn’t suddenly stop mattering when it’s drawn.
If you’re looking for stuff featuring animals meant to look like animals and jerking off to that then I have bad news for you.
No shit
The conclusion is pretty clear. Pedophiles are likely drawn to loli. Looking at loli doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a pedophile. Either way we should stop policing people’s fantasies and getting outraged at cartoons
What? Are you kidding? It absolutely stops mattering when it’s drawn, the same way murder stops mattering when it’s drawn, or in games, or in movies.
If you think most loli anime shit look like actual kids, that says more about you than anyone else. Unless we’re talking about photo-realistic shit, anime characters don’t resemble humans any more than any other fantasy shit. Is anyone who was into Kes (https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Kes) a pedophile? She was only 4. Is anyone that dates https://wikibiography.in/shauna-rae-wiki-bio/ a pedo automatically because she looks like a kid? Sure, I’ll bet pedophiles flock all over her because of that, but is there no way someone could be attracted to her despite her looks? Or just not care? Or is it only pedophiles. That’s my point, and I don’t care that you don’t give a shit and just want to label everyone a pedophile because it makes you feel good or whatever reasons you have to be so invested with how and why people look at drawings
