"Humans are like isolated islands, floating in the sea of fate.
Human encounters are like the collision of these lonely islands, and once they touch, there would be an effect. Sometimes, the islands would stick together, in the name of ‘interest’, ‘kinship’, ‘friendship’, ‘love’ and ‘hate’. But eventually, they would separate, walking towards the path of destruction.

This is the truth behind life."

Well subjectively, the animations are not real people. So often i feel no shame in being attracted to a fictional character. For example, the way they are drawn anyway is meant to get you a little worked up. That's the aesthetic.
In Conclusion, If he or she is a cutie pa-tootie you bet my anime fictional character self would hop right on that thang!!!

Ironic how, if you ask male anime fans about "husbandos", most usually respond "no because i am not gay". So they do recognize attraction to a cartoon man and a living breathing human male as an indicator of homosexuality both the same. But at the same time, attraction to a cartoon child doesn't make one a pedophile. Cuz it's a drawing :^) How convenient.



we can look at this in reverse. There are many women who refer to an anime girl as their waifu. That wouldn't make them lesbians.

I like futa. I've admitted to being bisexual multiple times because I like women and dicks. Enjoying futa makes you bisexual.

Therefore, liking loli makes you a pedophile. I have no idea what's so hard to understand about this.
That's not even remotely true, bisexual means an attraction to men, not whether you think dick girls are hot.
How on earth is a man liking dick not gay?

the logic is that the dick by itself isn't male. The world where futanari exists assumes the existence of female dick therefore its not gay as you're exhibiting attraction towards the woman being fucked and the woman fucking her, not to the dick joining them together.

And loli waifus don't make you a pedophile obviously anyone with a brain can tell you this since there's no equivalent of them in real life? Rofl@ all of the above users arguing otherwise

Have you ever been a part of or even listened to a fetish or BDSM community? If a man dates a transgender woman, it does not indicate that they are also sexually or romantically attracted to men. Enjoying pegging and such also does not indicate that they are into men. Even thinking about giving a blowjob does not indicate that they are into men. Additionally, there are other phenomena such as straight women enjoying lesbian porn.

@Opticflash There is no bijection of course (you have used six times the word one-to-one yet speak about "complexity" of human psychology... or how to misuse mathematical terminology for dubious causes), but there is a clear multi-valued map between the two categories given by the forgetful functor called "Morals & Law."

If it's gradually showned to you, then yeah I can see why someone would like a loli.

But I do not think it's ethical, it has been normalized but I can't seem to understand the appeal. I dont really know what to think of people who are attracted to "lolis". It seems harmless yet immoral, do what you like as long as that doesn't transcend into something dark. I'm not fond of it being okay, it doesn't seem okay.

I was not thinking of any mathematical analogue when using any terms during the discussion. Regardless of whether you believe I have misused any terminology, it should be clear what the ideas of the discussion were around. "Morals & Law" is a separate topic to how some people are attracted to lolis but not necessarily real life children, and I was discussing the latter.

I don't really join that many discussions in the otaku community, but can someone please explain to me, not joking at all, the justification for the dissociation between fiction and reality when it comes to liking lolis? Like, I think that the characters that I am interested in or find compelling are those that are recognisable and correspond to real, human traits and behaviours. Like, a character that doesn't even resemble how a real person would think or act comes across as bad writing to me. I guess characters can just be vehicles to explore tropes or gags, but isn't that a different conversation?

So, if you have a compelling, believable loli character, and you are attracted to them, how is that not similar to being attracted to human children? I get if you like a character because they are funny or cute, they can be endearing but not in a sexual way...idk help

Lolis are amazing! So of course its ok to like them! actually, its weird if you dont like them :))

Anyone who relates liking lolis to being a pedophile is braindead as fuck, even liking the sexualization of lolis is not even close to pedophilia.

Personally i never saw the charm for loli and don't know why they are so popular as i like women in anime who are bit older, like why men should go for someone with no bewbs and butts but then i don't judge as these are just fictional characters so go ahead and have as many as loli waifus, it's your life afterall.

Creepy.

Don't say loli, just say child.

Don't say lolicon, just say pedophile.

If you think having an attraction to a character that looks like a child is normal, then you need to get a social life.

This question is media-illiterate. You do not understand what happens when a person looks at a drawing.

It's like Mary Whitehouse commenting on freeze-frames.



You're confusing a child and a collection of pixels. These are not the same thing.


So when you see a loli, you don't recognize it as a child? What do you see it as?


He'll respond with "a 2D image".
We'll respond with "of what".
He'll avoid giving a proper answer.

Liking lolis makes you a pedophile Is like saying video game's violence makes you a murderer

Not really though. There's a clear difference. To be a murderer you actually need to act on it. You need to have murdered someone. To be a pedophile though, you don't need to act on anything. You simply have to feel a certain way.


I don't feel like being a pedophile matters until you act on your urges, so in that sense, the argument holds up. Also, you ignored the basis of the argument and twisted the words.
Everyone knows that video games don't make you violent or more likely to commit crimes in the real world.
I don't get why people don't understand that it works in the same way with lolis. I can admit to being turned on by them, but not because I'm a pedophile.

-They're drawn with the intent to make them look appealing. In children's shows, I don't start salivating over some normal-looking young characters. Granted, I'm not someone that actively looks for these kinds of things, but I think it's like this for the vast, vast majority of people.

-Again, they're perfectly separated from reality. People keep saying that liking lolis means you are a pedophile, but how many times have you heard that the people who watch and 'enjoy' this kind of content committed an actual crime? I'm sure that if there were any cases like this, the media would pick it up and it'd be on the internet non-stop.

Why can't people be allowed to like whatever they want to, at least in the fictional world? Those that want to mingle with children will, it's not a matter of whether you like an underaged character in a fictional story or not.

The digital space is supposed to be a complete getaway from the real world, that's why it's so sought-after in the first place...

Sexuality isn't something you choose, is it? At one point in life, you just kind of realize your attractions differ from what is common or accepted. If you're a working adult, dedicating their spare time to their hobby (anime), chances are you won't run into children that much. So, if you find out that you find sexual depictions of lolis attractive, how could you know for certain that this goes for real life children as well? You could do 'research', but sexuality doesn't equal morality: I'm sure most lolicons (with a right upbringing) would rightfully be disgusted by the thought of doing this 'research'.
This means, I think, that a lot of lolicons are probably uncertain about this. And so they just hope that their attraction is exclusive to anime, and can you blame them? Most societies, for good reasons, condemn pedophilia, meaning that, if given the choice, most want to believe they're 'not that kind of person'. But this brings me to my starting point: every pedophile once believed they weren't one. You only fully realize you're homosexual once you've repeatedly fallen in love with the opposite sex. (Quick disclaimer: I'm not arguing that most lolicons are in fact pedophiles without knowing it, I only think that most understandably refuse to ascertain it.)
This is a very risky move here, but I might as well use myself as an example for further illustration. I find Renge from Non Non Biyori very adorable (who doesn't?), but the mere thought of sexualizing her utterly disgusts me. But when I watched Shoujo Ramune, I was... not disgusted? In fact, you could say it, well, y'know, did its job...
And so I thought, and still think, to myself: what the hell is going on?! Is it because Renge is sympathetically characterized as an innocent child with distinct personality traits, whereas the lolis in Shoujo Ramune are presented from the get-go as soulless sexualised objects? I honestly couldn't tell you, as I've been in this state of confusion for some years now and don't expect it to be resolved anytime soon. It is a major contribution to the self-hatred I regularly experience.
Basically, what I'm trying to say here, is that the debate surrounding 'to be or not to be a lolicon and pedophile' isn't just confronting and discomforting to 'normal' people. Having your sexual orientation not align with your moral compass, can lead to a fragmented self, an identity crisis, self-hatred, and all the other 'good stuff'...

"Morals & Law" is a separate topic to how some people are attracted to lolis but not necessarily real life children, and I was discussing the latter.

I see, but this usage seemed slightly odd to me since no one argued that such a univalent correspondence between those two categories of physical attraction (fictional and real) existed. In posts #84 and #95, you simply stated this non-existence reason, and if you elaborated more in post #90, you still repeated this statement and tried arguing about possibilities and borderline possible counter-examples (in the first paragraph: "Can we disregard the idea...").

And if I get it right, what a lot of people are stating here is that there is a strong dependence between what one likes in fiction (where more inhibitions disappear, and this is why I spoke about "Morals & Law;" think of Redo and of all the deluded individuals who thought that enjoying this show and not finding a good number of scenes disturbing did not say anything about themselves... Eventually, it all boils down to the sophistry "fiction has no influence on reality" made by the illiterates and those afraid of possible censorship who confuse critique and prohibition) and reality, and I am bewildered to see that you did not acknowledge that.
