What's the difference between lolicon and pedophilia? Is it okay since it's a manga, no harm meant, just genuinely curious
This is my own interpretation and I am not going to discuss it or reply to people that do not know how to read tags.
In short pedophilia is a real life sexual attraction towards a young child.
Lolicon is a manga and anime trope that depicts an attraction to someone younger but not necessarily sexual.
When it applies to real life people, pedophilia is obviously a crime.
Being able to enjoy lolicon works doesn't make you a pedo as you are just looking at drawings and no real child is harmed. It is all fantasy.
The problem arises when people cannot distinguish reality from fiction.
There is no need to assign human rights to pixels on a screen or ink in small books.
That is my take.
Mods feel free to erase this if you want. I just wanted to answer a question that is somewhat pertinent to these type of works.
