What's the difference between lolicon and pedophilia? Is it okay since it's a manga, no harm meant, just genuinely curious
Kinda difficult to say tbh. Meaning depend on people, some consider lolicon anything that looks like a young girl ( shota for the boys ) regardless of age, while other define it as clearly prebubescent/pubescent kids. They do have a different word for pedophilia in japan though outside of shotacon/lolicon, ain't gonna say anything on wether or not it is considered to be linked or not cause I have no idea lol. In the english internet there's the faction of lolis being just cute young or small looking character, or literal child and it's pedophilia. People don't agree on definitions for it. Lolicon stuff doesn't have to be sexualized though.
Then on top of it there's the can of worm between real life and drawings. Ain't going into that one.
