      “oh no, people are calling me a pedophile for liking lolis” As they should. Lolis are why I hate most anime because I know they’re catering to the weirdos that buy their products. The whole “It’s ok guys! This character is 1000 years old but looks like a child” is always and will always be sus.

        So just because someone likes something, it has to be for a sexual reason. Alright. I’m not saying there’s no one who’s like that, but it certainly isn’t everyone.

        There are irl women who look like lolis do, should one be called a pedophile for being attracted to them?

        Loli =/= child

        (I don’t care for Loli myself but let’s not label people an extreme thing off of 0 evidence)

          If the reason someone is attracted to a woman is because that woman looks like a child, then yes. If someone thinks the childlike woman is attractive for other qualities, then the woman is coincidentally childlike in that relationship. In the previous example, a relationship only occurs because she looks like a child. That is bad.

          There’s a subtle difference between starting a relationship because someone looks like a child and starting a relationship despite her looking like a child.

              And you’re being disingenuous. If you google search “loli” it’s definitely not just someone with small tits.

                  Ah so we’re going with the “there’s no clear definition” argument. I know you know what I mean because no one takes the time to say:

                  “Nowadays people will call you a pedophile on extwitter for liking an image of a clothed Hatsune Miku.”

                  You know what I’m talking about because no one would care if you said a character like Kiyomi Takada from Death Note was clothed or not. But you made it crystal clear that you meant clothed because there would be something very wrong otherwise. You can have the last word if you want man, all of you guys are just making excuses for yourselves.

            There really isn’t, just reads like you are one of those that call preferences “fetish”, I’m allowed to not find skinny people attractive.

              Google “loli” and tell me that’s something you’re okay with full-grown adults being attracted to and that it’s a “preference.”

          Have you ever seen Mushoku Tensei or Seven Deadly Sins? These are both very popular and highly regarded anime. Did you find anything wrong with them?

              This might shock you, considering the co pletely unrelated nature of this thread, but anime is kind of popular. Ever heard of Taylor Swift?

                Heard the name. Apparently she flies around in a private jet a lot. Seems to irritate the Internet. Couldn’t tell you the name of any of her songs though. What does this have to do with you only watching creepy anime and then feigning shock when that’s clearly what you are looking for? How does it relate to my choosing shows and movies that aren’t piles of half dressed children? You protest too much. It seems disingenuous to me.
