I am absolutely not a pedo defender, there's a huge difference between being attracted to an 18 year old, who in my and most countries is of legal age, and being a pedo.
The difference apart from being attracted to children, is that at 18 years old, you are considered old enough to make decisions for yourself also called being of legal age.
Having sex with a minor on the other hand is automatically rape, as a minor is NOT considered old enough to make decisions for themselves.
I am disgusted that your post has an upvote. When the persons are above 18 there is no moral argument to call people attracted to them pedos.
USA however has a weird double standard in that regard, you are of legal age when 18, but cannot drink until 21????
This doesn't make the slightest bit of sense, you can buy a gun, join the military, but you can't have a drink?
USA is a pestilence of moronic double standards, and the country is suffering from am enormous degree of moral corruption, mostly originating in the insane level of Christian fanaticism, that is more similar to the middle east Islam, than to developed democracies. Of course similar moral idiocy exist in other countries too, but almost always driven by religiosity.
You literally are saying that it's ok to be attracted to children just as long as their backstory is they're over 18.... everyone knows that loli shit is fucking pedo shit.
Cool. Glad we can agree on that.
Except the characters you loli people are into are literally depictions of children, and you justify that shit by saying they're a 200 year old elf or some shit.
What?
Hey...hey stay with me... we're talking about you liking or defending those who like depictions of children and saying it's ok because you said they're 18+...
There's a very strong difference between what we think and what we do.
Being attracted to 18 year olds is absolutely legal. So what the fuck is your problem?
By your standard role playing a wizard that kills an orc would make you a wannabe killer!
The slippery slope pearl clutching around pedophilia is absolutely detrimental to actually protecting children against REAL pedophilia.
For fucks sake let's attack the real problem instead of chasing shadows!!!
Because you're not attracted to 18 year olds, you're attracted to children and justify it by saying they're 18. Huge difference.
You are outright insane.
Says the guy who's suggesting that it's ok to be attracted to children, because the characters are 200 year old elves... they're still children.
You are insane, that's all I have to say. You are literally insane if you truly believe that.
So... answer some questions here.
Simple yes or no.
Do these characters look like children?
Are these characters 18+ and never age past looking like children?
What characters?
And in principle it doesn't matter, if they are 18 it's legal to have sex with them if they want to.
If they are 14 but look like 40 it is not, and for good reason, because they are not old enough to give consent.
Are you saying there's a minimum number of wrinkles that determine if it's morally correct? And putting on makeup makes the men attracted pedophiles?!
So you can't answer the questions then...got it.
I absolutely answered your question, but you failed completely to respond to mine.
HOW MANY WRINKLES?
And is a role playing wizard killing an orc a wannabe killer?
You are the one who has no grasp on what you are talking about, and can't answer simple questions that are similar to the accusation you put forward.
I can call idiots like you out, because I'm in a safe position to do so. Your accusation however can be very damaging to innocent people.
The hyperbole is insane, and you are way way out of line.
Wrinkles lol
If it looks like a child and you call it a 200 year old elf... it's still a child.
Loli shit is pedo shit. Stop pretending it's not.
If it was actually pedo shit, why then didn't OP report it to the police?
Yeah I can see you are a real defender of the children. 🤣 🤣 🤣
It's weird to be okay with sexualized drawings of children. This amount of doubling-down on it really says it all.
I am not, I was misinformed, by what OP wrote, to think we were talking about actors that were visibly 18+ years old.
I only later found out we are talking about Japanese cartoons, which traditionally have that child like look.
I absolutely do not condone sexualization of children.
You seem to be fine with it in drawn form.
The context was that the characters were identifiable as being 18+.
And don't fucking text back, I've blocked you, I'm sick of pearl clutching idiots like you. Who scream wolf at every rustle in the bush. Making wild baseless accusations left and right.
Kk...you keep jerking it to drawings of children and telling yourself it's ok because they're really 200 year old elves...
If you draw a baby wearing an actual diaper and arbitrarily call it a 200 year old immortal vampire, is it fine in your mind to depict it being raped by some random dude? I literally do not understand your thought process. Although, frankly, given the "difference between what we think and what we do" part of your comment, I'm not inclined to look on your thoughts particularly charitably.
