I always see phrases like this getting spammed “Seperate fiction from reality” “Don’t like, don’t read” or “It’s not harming anyone”. It’s a useless conversation to entertain because those people have been called out, but continue to argue, and still repeatedly deny that such content is harmful. My gosh, the comparison that reading horror = being a killer is such nonsense. People can enjoy the thrill of watching horrors unfold (bc they’re not the one doing the killing!, but consuming what is essentially CP is entirely different. Consuming lolicon and defending it is harmful, because its content is actively sexualizing little children and warping people’s minds into thinking it’s okay. That type of content EXISTS to bring pleasure to pedophiles and convince society that outrageous age gaps are okay, I don’t understand why people vehemently defend it saying it’s not harmful
You don't say. I've had someone yap to me about how shota and lolicons are not pedophiles or predators, bc the children they're gooning to are not real children. Also shit like, pedophiles aren't predators bc they don't harm children unlike predators, how pedophilia can be cured or smth. God, reading that gave me an aneurysm

Just had an argument with someone who so insist that lolicons are not harming anyone and I replied that lolicons are literally weird af and is actively harming a group. They went on a whooole ramble on how they seperate fiction and reality and then said they're not acting on it. BUT YOU ARE. You're literally reading a loli smut. Istg ppl think someone's only a pedophile if they go SA a child, no it's the attraction itself is what already makes you one. They always use but "so everyone who reads horror is a killer?" NO? THEY DIDN'T KILL ANYONE? They could be weird for liking the murders way too much but YOU SIR IS ALREADY ONE. "Dont harm people" my ass.
