“I maybe a pedophile who jacks off to cartoon children, but at least I don’t use blue sky” is a bizarre hill to die on. Anyone who says “tourist” betrays the fact that they’re not into anime for any reason than what they can get off to.
I’d go as far as to compare them to Passport Bros who go to Thailand, not to engage with its actual culture or customs but instead to rape children.
For all of their talk about “appreciating another culture”, they sure never talk about the actual nuances of Japanese culture. How many of them do you think can name five national holidays? How many historical eras can they name at the top of their heads outside of Edo and Meiji era? How many dishes can they name outside of sushi and udon? For that matter, I doubt they are even familiar with any Japanese celebrities outside of voice acting nor can they name a single non-anime movie from there.
Their knowledge of Japan only goes as far as whatever they learn from anime. They’ve deluded themselves into thinking that if they went to Japan and announced their undying love for cartoon children, then they’d be given widespread acceptance rather than scorn. They think all Japanese women look like the supermodels they see in the odd advert.
Little do they realize that Lolicons and Shotacons are viewed the same way we tend to view consoomers over here; that they’re as profitable for companies as they are pathetic.
I’d much rather be a “woke liberal” who is disgusted by pedophiles than be a Lolbert pedophile that can’t stop gooning to anime.
It’s funny they mention trannies, though, because just about a good quarter of Lolicons that got phone booked by the Sharty were troons who support Palestine.
