The funniest part about Lolicons claiming to be “true and honest anime fans”, is that they're the rot that's killing the industry itself. Anyone who denies that the industry itself has been doubling down on pandering to pedophiles in the last 15 years is lying to themselves.
Most studios have outsourced animation to Thailand, Pakistan and India, according to the rabbit hole I went down. If you've ever wondered why there's like 100+ titles being churned oht every year, that's why.
If the pedophiles were truly as profitable as they want everyone to believe, then why are so many studios outsourcing their animation? You can make the argument that there's a ton of US studios outsourcing as well, however it isn't near the level that the Nipponese do.
Thank god titles like Monster, Record of Lodoss War, Rose of Versailles and Paranoia Agent exist. Otherwise, I would have thought that the entirety of the medium would have been lost.
