What if fake lolicon content helps pedos resist their urge to do it IRL?
(Disclaimer i have never had this issue i don't even like IRL kids)
I don't think that the fake stuff will have any sway on real life pedos, lolicons and pedos are two different beasts.
It's not some sort of gateway drug like cannabis either.
It's the idea that stimulates the lolicon, if you've ever been around a real kid with snot running down their face, screaming, rambling on about how caterpillers look like squiggly noodles, or find saying "dooky dooky doo doos" the absolute height of hilarity, that'll quickly dispel the idea that they're adults in children's bodies. They have no agency of their own when it comes to sexuality and if anyone's deluded enough (Sigmund Freud or whatever) to consider otherwise then their agenda is obvious. No kid wants Gary Glitter sliding his hand up their leg.
Just like how people claim that their dog is for sure vegan and consents to love them
in that very special way. Yeah, no!
It's kind of like people who have a nurse fetish, if you have ever known a real nurse you'll see their haggard form stagger through the doorway, regaling you of stories of sickness and death and ass wipings while smelling like said death and poop.
It crushes any potential idea of nurses being a viable fantasy, but everyone can understand why someone might think about
kind and caring (lol) nurses in that way.
Pure fantasy.
