@beardalaxy @FarTooHorny is it really weeb shit though? As a woman, I don't consume most anime because a lot of it, even favorites like Eva, do have fanservice and actively sexualize 14 year olds. Just because it is fictional, doesn't mean that there isn't sexualization of young women and girls in Anime and Japanese society as a whole. You can buy school girls' panties in vending machines, laws against child sexual abuse are questionable in certain regions. This is honestly why I consider it a red flag to be obsessed with anime, and I've encountered way too many perverts into it.

Lolita the novel, was intended to portray the horrors of pedophilia through the perps lens, and then became romanticized in pop culture by weirdos who missed the point like Lana del Rey. Lolicon as a term implies Japanese media containing underage characters for sexual consumption.

The fact that this is even a discussion further solidifies that there is cognitive dissonance with taking issue with the p-word being used, while having a preference for the sanitized terminology that casually facilitates sharing fictional media of underage girls.
