Couldn't have said it better myself. Just to be clear, I don't support sex with minors IRL in any way whatsoever. But there's a big difference between putting yourself in the shoes of a minor, and having desire towards a minor. I can kinda put myself in a shota's shoes because as a minor, I felt desire towards older woman, and I think that's the case for most men. Except the character in the game goes through with it.
However, grown ass men like myself still having desire towards young girls is fucked up.
Joey's Conscience Edgy_Memes I understand why you would think that way. However, I personally disagree. (THIS IS AN OPINION) I believe that loli and shota are both equally fine. Considering that in most instances, it's fiction. I, myself, like loli and shota hentai. But I do NOT consider myself a paedo, since I despise and have a desire to castrate people who commit sexual acts with minors, whether with boys or girls. It would be hypocritical to consider shota fine if loli wouldn't be fine, since both kinks involve fictional minors. However, yet again, it is fiction, and a person liking the shota/loli kink does not necessarily mean that they would approve or enact IRL paedophilic acts. Hell, the ones that do deserve to fucking die publicly in my opinion. Look, my point is: Don't generalise. Just because someone might like scat, piss or even bestiality in hentai, doesn't mean they want to recieve/give fecal matter, urine or have sex with animals. Same counts for Lolicons and shotacons. It's a grey line, I know, but please try to stop generalising. Ageplay is okay in porn too, and you don't see the actors performing coïtus with minors.
With kind regards,
Scythe, King of Perverts.
