TLDR: Worry about real sex crime, not fictional sex crime.
The Japanese chose to put their most warped sexual delusions into fictional fantasy, rather than take their most warped sexual delusions and brainwash children with them like most of the Western world, ie the people who told my gay friend she should be murdered and burn in the afterlife in a giant oven/concentration camp called hell.
So, Japan has normalized perverts showcasing their fetishes with fiction, as a result of their country having horrible sexual expression in the first place (people act like hugging in Japan is innapropriate at times, physical contact is highly scrutiized there socially).
The West has the same weird BS. You know cherubs? Pissing angel babies in fountains are just as weird as lolicon shit, cultists are just brainwashed to be used to it. Same thing with Cupid being a naked angel baby shooting people in the ass to make them fall in love with each other. That literally sounds like some hentai shit. Like, look at this and tell me we're less weird than the Japanese.
The Idol industry is bad, but at least it isn't a human trafficking ring pumping out shitty movies to make money launderers more money like Hollywood is. Ugh. So sick of seeing wonderful, talented people get abused and used by entertainment industries.
Westerners that donate to the Catholic church love loli-shit way more than the Japanese and hentai artists do, because they're actually supporting kids getting fucked. Same with people that support Hollywood, honestly.
Twitter acts like jerking off to magical girl hentai is supporting child rape, then tells you to go to Hollywood movies made my IRL child rapists.
We're still fools who care more about bitching about fictional shit than dealing with real crap like the British royalty being full of pedos, and Jeffrey Epstein's client list proving the US government is run by child rapists, and that the FBI and federal agencies would rather cover up the names of the rich child rapists than get justice for their victims.
Total conspiracy theory here, but I've wondered if the rich child rapists push that intentionally. "Here, focus on people jerking off to underage fictional characters, so you don't pay attention to us actually raping your kids!"
Whenever people try to blame hentai artists, or drag queens, or trans people for shit, I'm like, "yeah, go ahead and ban then, your country will still be run by rich criminals, come on, man."
I totally undestand why people are disgusted by lolicon content, it's just you have to realize the US and Europe have constantly been run by rich child rapists in the last millenia.
To the Japanese, my country is stupid trash that lets themselves be ruled by rich war criminals and sex criminals. If they hear me call them rapists for jerking off to fictional characters, why wouldn't they think I'm a fucking idiot? To them, we're the crazy ones. We all get brainwashed differently.
To me, when you see grown women making lolicon hentai, I doubt it's because they wanted to get raped as children. It's probably because they wish a bunch of dumb fucking adults had never owned their lives and genitals in the first place, and they wish they could have controlled their own sex lives growing up.
I write very lewd scenes between teenage characters, but it's because I want young people to be able to actually love each other, not because I want to see them get taken advantage of.
Content that sexualizes young fictional characters should be heavily regulated so it's not on shit like Twitter, that's what bothers me. But, I'll be frank, seeing people advocate for child marriage on Twitter pisses me off a lot more than seeing random anime loli lewds. People should keep their sexual delusions to themselves and not force them onto other people, and, I think the Japanese hentai community has gotten a decent amount of respect because they try to keep their content in appropriate places where children aren't located.
Western governments do way more to rape and murder kids than hentai artists EVER will, so why the fuck would the hentai artists respect us acting like they're worse? To them, we're just hypocrites. If I can tolerate supporting people who worship the cult that mutilated by genitals and made my sister and gay friend suicidal, I can tolerate people lewding anime girls.
As long as people treat real children with respect and don't hurt them, and they don't put their weird fucked up shit in public places, then, whatever.
Way too much real life sex crime to worry about fictional sex crime. Real children hurt when they're abused. Anime girls aren't real, I don't give a fuck who jerks off to them, or how, as long as they're not forcibly involving me in it.
