All right, I wasn't aware that was the general nature of it. I believed it to be characters (not specified/characterized as children or otherwise) in the "loli" art style having consensual sex.
What you describe certainly has a far greater connection to real-world situations of paedophilia than I imagined. Since it's animated, and thus do not involve harm to anyone, I don't think it should be outlawed, but I must admit I find the thought on what is apparently the actual majority content of "lolicon" to be quite unpleasant then.
Well, you learn something new every day, I guess. Though I almost wish I hadn't...
Indeed, it is far more pedophilic than you once thought it seems, but I still don't think that someone who likes loli means they want to go out and rape kids.
Same with certain fetishes like futanari (anime chicks with dicks). Just because you like that doesn't mean you like hermaphrodites.
As I stated before, the majority of hentai in general seems to be made up of rape fantasies. Not just loli. Go onto any anime porn website and I'll guarantee that most of what you'll find consists of tentacle rape or some other form of rape. It seems to be an ongoing theme in hentai along with lolicon and incest. Japan's weird like that
And no, I don't think it should be outlawed either. It's only a drawing. But many have stated that it is "gateway porn" if you will. By which I mean, it starts with loli then ends up with real pedophilic attractions. I can't say for sure whether or not this is true as I've yet to encounter any studies pro or against the subject but it is an interesting topic to me.
Like I said though, I really only enjoy things that fall under the "happy sex" category, which is partially why I hate real porn as it's all just too fake or seems non consensual to me.
It was a thread someone made about a year ago (before I even made a profile here) about a piece of fanfiction (on deviantart, as I recall) concerning the child(like) character Rika Furude from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, which they found very disturbing. I've tried to find it again, but it seems to have been deleted since, but if you've never even seen Higurashi, then it obviously wasn't yours (which I thought I remembered). I apologize for the mistake, though the actual point of it was merely to suggest that "loli" resided an entirely different place than "child" in the minds of those who enjoyed "lolicon".
No need to apologize for that. I've been mixed up before like that.
And yes, I do agree with that statement that the visual stimulus of loli porn triggers a different part of the brain than, say real child pornography. Though as I said, many of it
is rape themed and explicitly targeted towards a child loving perversion. Though considering no studies have been done before, I can only speak from past experience in saying, I don't think there's a connection between real CP and loli.
Though if you read the extremely disturbing comments left on loli "art" you will see people really are that sick and do wish to rape kids or at the very least view it. An example of which would be on a hentai image of a girl who is apparently around the age of 5 being brutally raped (I can't understand how anyone likes that) someone said "If only it was a real little girl" and it's only worsened by the fact that it had been voted as a good comment 17 times.
People can be sick.
