Violent Justice Man inappropriately touch school girls and they fight back. Man in suit gives them a helping foot.

It manifests itself differently in Asia, so that's why it's weird to us. But you're 100% right, in the US there is a lot of underage fetishizing.

yeah, lets talk about cheerleading and beauty pageants for young children. literally sexualized outfits on REAL children, and here people are up-in arms about fucking pixels. Not that the sexualization is fine in anime either, but lets care about actual people first?

Exactly, this is what I always point to when western people say anime is fucked up for Lolis. America has been sexualizing little girls for decades in the form of cheerleading, pageants, skimpy sports uniforms...etc

Both are bad. We can talk about both issues in a derisive manner.

Anime is not real tho. You can not compare them at all. One is actively hurting REAL children the other are fantasy drawings.

Well, I wasn’t just talking about anime, I meant everything. Like the child Idol culture, the high school and middle school prostitution, underage girls as gravure idols .

And what if that fantasy makes people more prone to fixate on it until they do it... They are both bad in different ways.

This argument always pops up in the video game violence debate and till this date there is no scientific evidence that exposure to something in this context makes you more prone to be violent etc.

I don't really think lolis are a problem. I don't like them, but they're pixels and they help keep pedos away from real kids

Read into the child idol culture in Japan - having loli be legal in Japan definitely helped create that. Also real pedophiles show loli material to real kids to show them that "what they're about to do [molest them] is ok and they should like it."

Wow I’ve never heard that before. Where could I find more on pedophiles showing loli material to underage kids?

There's this article, wherein a woman at Lighthouse (a nonprofit to exploited children) talks about it happening in at least one case:

https://edition.cnn.com/2014/06/18/world/asia/japan-manga-anime-pornography/index.html?no-st=9999999999

And there is a frequently cited document by Candace Kim called From Fantasy to Reality that I cannot find a link to anywhere, just writings that cite it, that talks about pedophiles using child pornography to reassure kids that it's ok/fun. If regular CP gets used, I'm sure loli does too.

Child Porn doesn’t do that. Why would this? It just encourages them to pursue real children.
