I really don't want to do it, but I feel compelled to do what Matrix did that one time and screenshot some various quotes from loli hentais to drive home the (obvious) point.
Stuff like:
"I'm fucking a single-digit!!!"
"I'm cumming in a 5 year old!!!"
"I'm fucking an elementary schooler!!!"
"This little girl is sucking my cock!!!"
"Elementary schoolgirls are so hot!!!!"
Or I could just tell people to look up Nishi Iori, Kereno, Wada Wau etc... etc...
The fact that lolicons can read loli hentai, with those exact quotes in them, and then say "there is no pedophilia here!!!!", is a level of cognitive dissonance which should be impossible for the human brain to engage in.
I while back I made a post about the first loli hentai which I saw. It wasn't a comic, it was a full like 18 min long hentai video.
The entire plot was a guy got an 8 year old girl to have sex with him by buying her snacks and sweets from a store.

How can a lolicon see something like that and then say "there are no pedophilic tendencies here!".
I just don't get it.
It's also one of the highest-rated loli hentais out there. I think it's up there with Soju Ramune.
And the plot of Soju Ramune is that x3 (i.e. there are 3 girls).

All lolicons joke about SR, and yet the entire thing is about a pedophile coercing little girls into having sex with him in various ways!!
Imagine being a lolicon who now (to maintain the position that you do not have any pedophilic tendencies whatsoever) has to say you're against the most popular loli hentais because they mention age or the fact that the guy is fucking elementary schoolgirls or kindergarteners or the fact that the male character embraces being a pedophile in the comic in no uncertain terms etc... etc... etc...
What are you left with?
Oppai loli?
3,000 year old dragon empress godesses who just coincidentally take on the form of an 8 year old girl for plot reasons?
And I thought my jokes were bad...
Another thing one can do is go on Allthefallen and look at the comments on pics tagged with "age-difference", "toddlercon" or similar things.
Or even just go on Pixiv and look at the "loli" tag and how often it coincides with the "pedo" tag (yes, there is a "pedo" tag, because unlike Americans, Japanese people at least are honest).
90% of the comments are "lolicons" being totally open about being pedos.
Yet lolicons on this instance, and others, insist that they are not pedos.
Yet ATF is like, the Mecca of saved and catalogued loli hentai, and Pixiv is basically a more legit (i.e. more censored) version of Baraag.
It's all cognitive dissonance. It's so frustrating.
If it's this frustrating for me, I wonder how frustrating it is for them!
