I'm in the camp of "most lolicons and their ilk are just weirdo gooner fetishists who need to get some bitches, and probably don't have any intent on harming anyone in real life, although the ones that DO cross that line need to get help and/or seek jail time."
ddork mentioned the realistic 3D hentai, and I think that stuff is WAY too close to comfort for me; I prefer sticking to the animesque/cartoonish shit. And drawing porn of IRL people without their consent, kid or not, is just wrong (I might make exceptions for pornstars, because they've chosen to base their brand off of sex stuff, but if you're drawing a picture of you fucking your niece and putting it online... don't.)
I can't really blame people for feeling uncomfortable or unsafe when it comes to that sorta thing, given the subject matter, but in the end, it's just people jacking off to cartoons and stories and stuff, and I can't really bash someone for doing that, especially given that I'd be a hypocrite if I did. And I don't think we should be incarcerating lolicons for being who they are or banning their art or attacking and slandering them, when stuff like GTA exists. GTA lets you run over people, kill hookers, rob banks, and just overall be a fucking menace to society... in the game. And we don't think video games of that type are causing people to become terrorists, right? Only the PTA Karens and the politicians would have the gall to say that. So if there are people robbing banks and killing prostitutes in GTA, or committing genocides in Civilization or Undertale, and they didn't become terrorists or war criminals, and people understand that, then why don't people apply that same logic to stuff like loli?
I'm not saying I'm against Grand Theft Auto, I'm just saying that games like that involve the main character doing acts of immorality, or allow (and even encourage) the player to do immoral stuff in the game, yet are usually acceptable forms of entertainment, while lolicons are slandered.
I do wish more countries (especially in Europe) had similar laws than Japan when it comes to loli/shota. Mostly because then I could see Italian or French dubs of shit like Fate/Kaleid or Psychic Squad or what have ye.
