Derren Brown had a bit where he managed to convince a woman to try electrocuting a kitten, by manipulating her and putting her back in a childish mindstate, or at least so he claimed, because who knows with magicians and such?
I regard it as believable. I did know a couple of emotionally stunted people growing up and despite being adults with demanding jobs, they had trouble relating to anyone above 14. They were great at playing with kids innocently, but after a certain age, they were too mature and as such, there was no longer room for such a connection. They seemed very much like Michael Jackson in that regard.
When it comes to anime focusing on young kids at school, these seem to be another subset of the audience, beside the obvious pedos. And like the derren brown example, I also think that people belonging to neither group, are drawn into it, tapping into a more innocent past mindset, when they experienced the world more vividly (our emotions and senses dull as we grow older).
And people that have never had sex, of which there are more than ever, are more vulnerable to developing strange fetishes and paraphilia, because they don't have the grounding effect of reality.
When I was in high school, almost every single girl had the DDLG kink. I dated five girls throughout those years, and any other one of them that I was checking out expressed that they were into DDLG at some point. My friends who had girlfriends would end up admitting to me that their girls had this kink as well. Don't worry, I'm not going on an incel rant, I'm not putting the blame on these girls but on their fucking terrible fathers being absent in their lives. This need for a father figure manifests into a sexual fetish, where they seek a boyfriend to fill that role. Most of my friends were practically forced into this role. More often than not, I found it was pushed on them quite aggressively, myself included
Can confirm.
That's not actually true. @Secret Asshole went into a
long explanation of why,
He may be wrong, you know.
For example he claims
"It is not a sexuality, because as I will discuss below, many times a pedophile will molest regardless of the sex of the child.", when the official understanding of "sexuality" is predicated on falsified research of kinsey and others of the kinsey institute.
I have little doubt he speaks the truth about his credentials, but if you believe something is true because it is believed by prestigidous organisation of learning, I'll have you recall how these type institutes accepted covid and ivermectine laws out of whole cloth. And in the case of sexual matters, John Money's and Kinsey's falsified research.
If you doubt this, consider that in recent years there was an event in the netherlands. Our own pizzagate type event, but uncovered by journalists instead of online citizen journalists.
A journalist working for Argos, did a radio program about this. She had started looking into claims of ritual abuse. She started with interviewing victims and asked them to among other things name specific people and locations. Who and where of the abuse, essentially. She also interviewed the surgeons who had personally witnessed the evidence of abuse having occured.

What these surgeons had to do was remove glass shards that had been inserted into vaginas and wombs. These were a method of control used. The victims would be warned not to go to hospitals, and instead to return on x date, so they could be removed by the perpetrators.
Because the stories, locations, and people matched for a considerable number of victims, they decided to do a report on this. Even before it was published, one of the named locations was suddenly arsoned and burned to the ground.
A group of victims, their psychiatrists, the surgeons who had removed the glass had written a letter together for this to be investigated and sent to the government, as police refused to investigate.
You see, the Netherlands has a specific task force to deal with ritual abuse and everything that relates to it is not dealt with by ordinary police, but by this task force. And this task force has a mission statement that puts "preventing people from believing the myth of ritual abuse" to the forefront. I'm sure other countries have something similar, but more competently hidden.
So the letter was sent to the government. But also a request for certain people to not be involved in the investigation, as they were named by the victims of being offenders in this case.
Of course one of these named people was put in charge by the government to deal with the letter, and no known investigation of it ever happened.
There is incentive for entrenched elite pedofile networks to make sure the truth about the nature of these crimes and paraphilia is not well understood by official places of learning.
