TLDR: theres a couple of main types of lolicons I have seen
> people that treat lolis like other anime women tropes (tsundere, kuudere, etc.)
> people that uses lolis as a praxis of control over consent
There's a waifu culture in general Japanese otaku culture and part of why lolis are seen as "normal" is more or less because women in Asia just generally look younger than Western women and thus focus a lot more on appearing cute to appeal to their culture
i keep seeing my mutuals retweet this but i kinda have beef with specific points:
> protecting children as a point is regarding the sexualization of them from the rightoid perspective iirc, so points like "gun control" just really don't make sense to throw in outside of idealogy
> weighing children in schools isn't inherently related to sexualization and tbh is just a few steps from "crack down on teachers sexualizing students"
if you want to do that and include prevention of weighing children, go ahead but this alone does little
> "Get children pit of abusive situations immediately."
wdym? unlike the police, you can't really have people just observe parents from a far and while we'd all imagine cps to be amazing, I've heard and seen too many cases of that system perpetuating abuse (albeit on accident)
I feel like the whole "Gwen is trans" controversy if you will, shows how important original representation is. people literally act like its still the 2000s where this kind of thing wasn't promoted socially unlike now and imo its because we don't have good trans characters
listen to their logic:
"why not just us have this one thing?"
"why can't we headcanon this"
they still actually want trans characters that are preferably not dogshit or hamfisted. They just don't really have the intelligence to explain that
its like how Bud Light activists probs don't know about the ESG score, the Frankfurt School Intellectual Ecosystem, etc but feel like as if theres something wrong with the advertising they get.
