Why do we put so much stock into loli/underaged characters as a direct link to being a pedo?

[SenutiSolidus]

Inb4 you're a pedo for even asking the question, but it just seems like such a weird disconnect between how the rest of media is handled. If you want to call it creepy, you're absolutely right. It is. It's just not a 1:1 link with a person who would commit horrific crimes.
Violent media does not make you violent.
Watching porn of adult characters does not make you a rapist
Watching crude humor does not make you sexist
But if you watch or consume loli you absolutely have to be a pedophile. No questions asked, even asking this question means you're defending pedos.

I guess I woke up today and chose violence but it just doesn't make sense. And even though you won't believe me, I have never watched loli or even seen pictures of it by my own choice.

Because men are visually stimulated so the backstory is bullshit, the image is what they jerk it to.

“Wah it’s really a 6,000 year old sorceress” is like “my dad could beat your dad up”

Adults being obsessed with underaged characters is creepy as shit, no exceptions.

 

[SenutiSolidus]

I also believe that there absolutely can be a pipeline from loli to being a real life pedophile. I'm not that naive. I just think the zero nuance situation contradicts how we treat any other media.

Loli is sexualized images of characters that are depicted as minors. Typically loli enjoyers enjoy this because it arouses them, if you are aroused by children you are a pedophile.

Is that really so fucking hard to understand?

people who play violent video games or watch action movies enjoy it because it triggers the pleasure centers of the brain associated with violence in a manner that hurts nobody. If you get a dopamine rush from playing Call of Duty, you must want to go do a mass shooting

I put this into any other context and it seems like crazy talk.

Adults being interested in cartoons is concerning in itself. Not so much the "that's childish" sense, though it is. Neurodiverse people tend to be drawn to bright and simple designs. It's a red flag to a lot of people because, though it isn't 100% accurate, its a sign that person isn't on a normal well adjusted persons wavelength.

Reading Red Dragon doesn't necessarily mean you are into skinning women alive and wearing their skin. But if you read it every day, collect merchandise for it, look at images of the plot frequently you're doing it because something about it appeals to something in you. It could be a violent streak, it could be a sexual one; none of them being good.

Loli/Shota has the double whammy of indicating autism and/or mental illness, and an unhealthy preoccupation with the appearance of prepubescents (or worse).

At best the mask slipping shows nothing good. At worst, everyone in the Western world today having seen the past twenty years unfold should know the slippery slope is real and shit needs to be stamped out right at the start.

When a guy jerks off to an image of two anime men fucking, it’s gay. He’s probably gay. Straight men do not jack off to the thought of other men having sex with each other.

Likewise, when a guy jerks off to an image of an anime child being fucked, it’s pedophilia. He’s probably a pedophile. Non-pedophiles do not jack off to the thought of children having sex. I don’t see why that’s hard to understand.

If you are getting a dopamine rush from looking at sexualized depictions of children your brain is broken. That's not normal. Normal people don't get a dopamine rush from things like that. The normal response is revulsion and disgust.

 

[Lightsaber Dildo]

The question isn't whether or not loli makes you a pedo, the questions come up on whether or not it leads to you molesting children.

Christfags of the 80's and 90's thought violent video games would lead to real violence. Before that, it was comic books. Retards and progressives of the past 15 years think immoral pornography will lead to enactment of immoral acts. It's the same self-righteous stupidity that's been around for nearly 100 years.

 

[libRT]

This is just a guess but its the consumption with fucked up socialisation, somehow turns into obsession and usually its weak faggots, so power/authority plays into it as well.

Anime is very infantile, so any adult that watches it is a faggot.

Same way a weirdo who obsesses about school shooters may be called a school shooter before shooting up a school.

I give you that it's not normal to enjoy loli. I thought that was a given, which is why i edited my OP. I just don't think it means you must enjoy real child porn.

I would say the Christfags were somewhat right.

Onlyfans, camwhore internet culture and the social isolation of the blue screen has done nothing good for society.

GTA may not have led to genocide, but it did raise a generation of basement dwellers.

Depends how much you broke your god given subconscious filters, doesn’t it?

GTA did not raise a generation of basement dwellers. It did give a few generations of shit parents an easy excuse for their failings.

 

[Pampered Degenerate]

This is honestly why I'm ambivalent about making loli illegal. It sets a precedent. First it's loli (drawn depiction of an illegal act, but a victimless crime) then it's violent video games (drawn depiction of an illegal act, but a victimless crime), then it's depictions of whatever else would be a crime irl.

I totally understand that. I'm more talking about the definitive language often bandied about there isn't a chance that a lolicon is not a pedophile (or at the very least, not someone who would enjoy real life depictions, which is the only thing that matters)
