I like lolis. I can understand why others don't because they don't like little kids.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it, it can really make an Anime or Manga really funny and interesting while being perverted at the same time

All it is is drawings... If people are that desperate to be sexually attracted to art then they're stupid.... Stupidity isn't illegal get over it...

IT'SSS AWW-RIGHTTT!!!

I'm not a big fan but I can kinda understand it. A lot of what I've seen of it is older siblings and younger ones so there isn't a huge age difference but it's still lolicon and incest...

Me being as small as I am, I'm always concerned about whether the guys I meet who like Lolicon see me as a legal aged Lolishota or not o_O

lolicon to me seems just as perverse as child porn and those who like it should be shot in both kneecaps and have there teeth punched in , ahh i love a good rant

Hmmm i guess im semi against it; When it comes to 20+ finding a girl like 15 attractive in a manga or anime, i usually say fine, its only when actions are taken upon those thoughts that i dislike what it. Having not viewed particular lolicon based manga, i would guess however that it would involve more actions like i previously mentioned, hence why i wouldnt read. Anything younger then that involving a "legal age" male to me is a little disturbing, but like there are many different genre of manga, there are different types of people. I can understand the appeal of why someone who was interested in it would condone it, the whole innocent thing.. but it doesnt appeal to me. However, much like the example of the guy using it as an outlet, reading them doesnt mean you must have a shady background, or that you like that thing yourself. I read yaoi but i am not gay.

However, i am on quite a conundrum when the roles are reversed. When the male is 15ish and the female is older, i do not think i am so offended, but i think it might be due to the way the relationship is portrayed. In a manga i read, Kurohime, a young boy is saved by an adult female. 10 years later, making him about 15 i think, he finds the adult female but in a child form. When she feels love for him, she returns to her adult form and gains her adult powers. That is an example of a relationship, but it doesnt cross the boundries of perverted.. however its due to him being honourable rather then it being about his looks. Ral-Grad has a male character, 15, who has the fasination for boobs (typical boy then) but the women dont really seem to push him away.. This however is funny to me.

So the same situation but reversed (and by that i dont just mean swap the genders, but also the younger one liking the older one) is slightly more tollerable then the other way round... Regardless of sexual contact of any kind, a kiss, anything, cut all that out just so that it would be about having feelings for the other, its just creepier to me for older man liking the underage female, when instead older woman liking underage boy, and underage boy or girl likeing the older one, seem almost acceptable due to the way they are set out. Most of the times when you think lolicon, its usually a helpless, nieve, almost victim like character that doesnt really know what they are doing... to me that is like real life, which is why i find it disturbing. The others i've been talking about seem to grant the younger side with almost an adult style of thinking, making you forget about their age and care only for the story.

Thats my thought on it, i personally dont like it, but if others do thats their choice.

I understand totally if someone doesn't like it, and I'm no totally fine with it. I'm sure loads of people here know someone or have a friend who knows someone who is involved with an older person or has been connected to, in some way or another, to an older person, and we don't agree with it in real life. It can be a bit creepy.

But to be honest, it's not like anime PROMOTES these things! Just like A Clockwork Orange doesn't promote 'ultra-violence' or rape we can't say that just because its written down or said on TV means its a good thing or is tolerable. Fiction is fiction, its what the writer wants to use to get the story across, so if it's left in the books and in the anime, then I think we should just let people get on with it if they want. Freedom of speech and all that, you know.

Its kinda like with Shotacon, the ages arnt always that young. I dont like Loticon, but to each their own i guess. As long as its no extremely pedoish.

Personally, I don't mind it, seeing as how it is obviously fictional. There's a reason why no one's rioting against 10-year-olds going out into the lonely world to fight off crime, find love and what not. Because it is not real, not a representation of reality or someone's beliefs, and it's purely fanatical. Anime and manga, and, for that matter cartoons, are simply used to entertain an audience. So I don't really have a problem with lolicon, especially since I favor a pairing or two. But that's not to say that I agree with overage and underage love/pairing/etc., in real life. I only like it in the context of shows and the like, which is really what it's meant to do. Not to incite any similar behaviour in real life or the audience, but to provide fun and captivating stories. So I'm sitting on the fence, but facing "I'm in favour."
