So my first true exposure about the horrors of lolicon where it was front-and-center as a fetish and not as a passing jab was from this character, Hakua Shiodome of
Shomin Sample:

She's 14, but everything about her is fridge horror that I don't actually know if she's supposed to be one big joke about lolicons or is just one other straightforward archetype for the harem genre. The whole series is retarded as fuck and doesn't make sense even as a harem, however, this
thing brings me such dread, both out of context and
with context. You see, she's such a super-genius at this prestigious all-girls' academy that she literally has to be locked away in her own personal lab, and has been for such a long time she has no sense of dignity and common decency because she doesn't know how to interact properly around people. In a school full of nutty girls (not an exaggeration, the main harem is
fucking nuts), she's the one who had the most potential but was put in a proverbial gilded cage to be stunted to the point she takes off her clothes to do formulas.
The whole show is uncomfortable and retarded in general, she just takes it to a whole 'nother level that I have no idea how this series didn't get targeted by the Japanese obscenity laws.
This is why I make it an effort to hunt down the age of characters, because
context matters. Until a Hakua comes along and ruins everything.
