@matty@nicecrew.digital @SuperSnekFriend@varishangout.net >what is it that attracts you to these particular images? Do I dare get involved in a conversation well above standard comprehension that could easily devolve into hell thread if discussed improperly? No but it'll happen anyways. The most simple answer is irrationality. There are people who get super invested into bestiality or such, but have no desire for a real horse to destroy a woman (disgusting as I find it either way). Loli artwork is often fairly detached from reality in a multitude of manners, and that creates a level of desire for the fiction as people discover it. Similarly to those who like really big tits in their artwork, often improbable to exist, and should you find a woman with such things, they would not be there in the same way as the fictional one would, as the fictional one is an idealized, impossible world. While you could say "what is that idealized world depicting," the answer doesn't exist. In the same way a reader avoids questioning Tolkien's fantastical world, those invested in these fictional anime girls don't question the false reality they invest themselves in. It's all made up, pure randomly obtained desire. It's impossible to avoid that there are those who have ill desires in such fantasies, but then that's true of all things. I do not stop drinking water because a man has been waterboarded before. I know all of these thoughts sound disconnected, but It's all I really can say. It's hard to justify something that holds no real basis in anything beyond respect for fiction, same as how difficult it was to convince the misinformed puritans of the 80s and 90s that things like Pokemon weren't devil worshipping nightmare games (a burning rage for hating new things that probably would've been better directed at other things that actually took a toll on society). I'm typing into a void, I'm well aware, but it's an interesting thought nonetheless. Probably wont continue this since philosophical and moral debate aren't my forte. In fact, I rather dislike them in some aspects.
