@Aldo2 @matana if you don't like the instance rules or how it operates, again, you are free to go somewhere else. I'm not talking to you as a mod but as a user with an opinion, and matana is a user too. You are free to post your opinions on things (so long as they don't break the rules such as condoning child abuse). Other users are free to criticize. That isn't the instance itself, it's just users.

3DCG, to my knowledge, is banned here because of potential issues with realism. That is Matrix's personal choice. If you dislike that, feel free to go to a different instance that allows it. Personally I think there is still a clear difference in most cases but I can understand not wanting to face issues over that.

Again, let me remind you that even among lolicons who are pedophiles, there are those who will have different opinions on it. I don't think all lolicons are pedos and I don't think all pedos agree 100% with each other on laws regarding children. There is absolutely a clear difference between pro-c and anti-c. There's no monolith of thought and I don't think lolicons are desperate for acceptance either, if anything we just like to laugh at people who get so worked up over drawings.

Like it or not, there are people who can tell the difference between the real and the fictional and there are people who only like the latter, or at the very least only want to look at the latter because they have their own set of morals despite any proclivities. I think it is disingenuous to say the only reason lolicons aren't siding with pedophiles (or in this case, people who have been convicted by a court of law) is because they are dying to be accepted by normies.

I know most normies won't accept it. I know most normies probably have some weird shit they're into too. I mean fuck, there are people who hate loli but get off on watching cartel killings. I don't really care what they think. Likewise, I don't care what pedophiles think about me not wanting to defend certain people or accept a specific age range that I think isn't good. I don't think it's hypocritical at all for me to think that something in real life is abuse even if I enjoy it in fiction, even down to specific cases. I'm not going to throw a blanket over all of it and be like "ohh I enjoy x in drawings, so I can't condemn it in real life!" that's retarded and goes back to the whole point lolicons have. It doesn't matter if some of us are attracted to real children or not, it's where you stand morally.

I share the Comic LO covers because I think they're really well illustrated and beautiful. Don't really care who is drawing them or who is featured in them.
