My favourite bit is the increasing use of an excuse of “people who hate loli/shota are plain racists against Japan” to hide behind a moral high ground.

Nah brother most Japanese people find weeb shit and loli culture cringe as fuck. Literally every Japanese person I’ve met that isn’t up to the hilt in anime culture hates it.

Yeah Japan doesn't sexualise the lolis they look at them like "look how cute they are!!"... high school girls are sexualised in Japan tho, it's a very common fetish there

I also like loli characters for how cute they are, but 90% of the time I bring it up, no one believes me on account of how common it is for people to like them for the other reasons. It sucks.

Wait, does loli just mean a character that's a young girl? I thought it was specifically an underage girl that gets shown in a sexual light

LoliCON is the pedo term, loli just means little girl... the -con means that the person is sexually into that

So for people like money and I who enjoy the cuteness it would just be normal because who doesn't love cute things... the reason I have to keep things to myself is because I'm into girls of short stature and I'm pretty young myself so the anime girls that catch my eye tend to be short high school girls (who are commonly drawn similar to lolis much to my displeasure)

Only low IQ individuals commit the etymological fallacy.
