i would say it depends on how the character in question acts.
if they act like a adult its fine.

even if you are a pedophile, you are not harming anyone by watching lolicon anime

I would try to answer this question but I struggle to distinguish which anime characters are considered lolis & which ones are not lolis.
As well as which female anime characters are considered petite.

No. Especially when they're as sexy as Oyama Mahiro.

If consuming lolicon material makes someone a pedophile, that would imply, that consuming such material is a risk factor, that increases the chance, that consumer will try to assault real life children. I haven't seen any studies proving that, but I've seen some psychiatrists stating otherwise.
In my opinion, while both pedophilia and lolicon are deplorable, one is definitely way worse than the other by a large margin for the simple reason, that one directly harms real life children, while other doesn't and I don't think they should be put on the same pedestal.

It is sus no matter how I look at it. Although I'm a fan of Leon: The Professional and Alizée's first two albums so maybe I'm sus too.
