A lot of it really depends on how the girl acts more than how she looks. If she looks loli, but acts like an adult, I can roll with that. But convincingly childish? Nah. That just sort of creeps me out. |

A loli is a character that has a body that is not mature. Pedophilia refers to having a sexual attraction to children. In short, loli simply refers to appearance, not age. I'm pretty sure most loli haters (or pedophilia haters such as yourself) will have no problem with Cleo Zaubraff simply because she doesn't have the body of a child of her age. However those same people would hesitate to say they like Nana Astar Deviluke who has a rather childish body despite being a teenager. And if you didn't know, Cleo is 12 and Nana is 14. In this case, Cleo is not a loli, but Nana (who is older than her) obviously is. Just clearing that up, though I do understand where you're coming from. OT; Yes, I do like loli characters. The biggest reason would be that from where I come from, having a body that is just slightly more mature than a loli is quite normal. In fact, my personal preference goes towards lower sizes than bigger. And no, I don't see anything wrong with being attracted to a loli, or even children (as long as you don't do anything illegal in this part, that is). |

The problem is that we shouldn't be encouraging unnatural attractions to the bodies of children, for obvious reasons. If those reasons aren't obvious, it's because the overwhelmingly vast majority of people who look like children are, in fact, children. 2D or 3D, it makes no difference: adults should not be attracted to that. If you are, I feel sorry for you. |

Why are they gonna make adults and teenagers in Japanese anime look like American adults and teenagers? That's completely illogical. And you obviously haven't seen real life children if you think lolis look like real life children. Either way, it does not promote pedophilia in any way what so ever. It's not like anime say, "Hey Americans. Here's how women look like in Japan. If your women look too adult, just do the kids." |

All first-person-shooting gamers are people who enjoy competitions requiring various skills, such as marksmanship and tactical thinking.

It's the very definition of the word. Now, if I were saying "all lolicons are child molesters," then your comparison would have some degree of validity. I'm not, of course; that would be ridiculous. I'm saying they're attracted to the bodies of children, because they are, by definition. Now, you could say, "but they're just cartoons! They look nothing like REAL children!" But honestly, if you're only into 2D girls and not 3D ones, that's a problem in itself. See: Japan's record low birth rate. And, no, "those body types" are not common in Japan among adults. When you find an adult woman who looks like Kuro Kagami, you have found someone very rare and very unfortunate. |

Dude, once again a lolicon =/= pedophile. Lolicon refers to the physical appearance, while pedophilia refers to the age. They're different. There's nothing wrong with being attracted to a woman whose body hasn't quite matured. There is nothing wrong with being attracted a child either (it's disgusting, yes, but not wrong). It's wrong when you act on your impulses on said child. Please stop mixing actions and opinions. As I said before, my preference to loli over big busty comes from the place I've lived in. Maldives doesn't really have a lot of women with big busts. Thus my preference of less matured bodies over more developed bodies. Also, if you've watched Japanese movies or dramas, you would see that a lot of women their don't have really developed bodies. Hell, I was thinking that the person who played Sayu's role in the Death Note movie was around my age when she was 8 years older than me. There's a reason why a 20 year old was given the role of a 15 year old, or could they not find a better 15 year old to play the role? EDIT : For some reason it appeared here, so I'm "merging" my posts together. No, your post is there. Mine isn't. It's a pain to write it out all again, so I'll just write a little summary of what I wrote. Lolicon =/= Pedophile. Lolicon refers to an attraction to a physically under developed body, while pedophilia refers to an attraction to an under aged person. There is nothing wrong with either one, unless you act on your impulses against the other person's wishes. It is looked down upon in the west because western women are often more developed. In Japan, it's the opposite. More women have underdeveloped bodies more often than not. For example take a look at this: That is a 20 year old woman playing the role of a 15 year old teenager. I myself mistook her to be around my age, when she is in fact, 7 years older than I am. For them to use a 20 year old to play the role of a 15 year old, that has to say something about the Japanese. NOTE: I do not mean Japanese look like children, they just have underdeveloped bodies, which is what a loli is. If you take a look at most loli characters, you'll see that they don't look like children, but rather have underdeveloped bodies. |

Loli's are just cute. Some Real Life kids can be cute, but they are usually naive and still learning everything around them. However they are usually, between 2-6 years old, before they start becoming annoying brats. Of course this depends on their up bringing. To me a Loli is just a girl with an underdeveloped body, And I would class myself as under Takanashi Souta's love of small cute things, rather then sexual attraction. |

Okey, first of all- pedophilia. I hope you people are aware that it was perfectly ok for adult man to have a sex with, lets say, 14-15 years old girl back in 15th-16th century? Thats not so long time ago. 400 years, its like 5-6 generations ONLY. This implies that your own ancestors, the guys with YOUR bloodline did this and YOU still turned up to be just fine. About now-days. What if that 13 years old girl grows up, and when she hits age of 18-20 she tells she still wish she could have had sex with that old guy back when she was 13? In this case, I guess, it would be ok for her to actually have sex when she is 13, if her wishes doesnt change when she is adult. Also, a lot of 13/14/15 years old girls do in fact have sex when theyre in this age and their parents dont even know it and these girls grow up to be just fine. Google "when you lost virginity" and you will find countless of articles from mature, respectable women who lost their virginity at age 13/14/15 and grew up just fine. Thats just sex. Sex means something good. Act of sex means that both parties involved will feel physical euphoria. How can consensual physical euphoria be wrong, regardless of age? No physical harm have been done to any of parties (assuming pregnancy doesnt occur). Guess what, im 30 and I still wish that lady would have fcked me back when I was 14. Thanks a lot mom for ruining this for me. |

I disagree with the rest of your post however, since the times have changed and there have been both scientific as well as moral developments in this subject matter. 400-500 years ago it was a certain way, 1200+ years ago it wasn't so strange for grown men to marry and bed 8-9 year old girls in some countries as well. But I believe the main issue is that people try to impose reality on anime. Anime characters do not follow a singular and absolute standard for age. Anime characters do not even closely resemble a living, breathing human being either. Last I checked, 5th grade girls didn't have gemstone eyes, rainbow hair, or the physique and sex appeal of college girls (of course I don't mean breast size, flat chests for life!). |

This clearly doesnt apply if she still wants same thing even when she is old enough to make her decisions.

But the grown woman can't possibly know what consequences would have come out of acting on that desire. She may also have a misguided understanding of the situation based on warped ideas that she had when she was 13. Additionally, simply looking back on a desire with fondness and regret that one did not act upon it does justify the action itself. For example, I wanted to join the Bloods when I was 13. If I look back now and say "aw man I wish I had become a gangster after all", does that mean that joining would have been justified back then? I can't possibly gauge the consequences of what would have happened if I joined based on experiences I never had. |
