Does liking this image make me a pedophile? I'm not sexually attracted to her. I just think she's cute and cuddly. She has a cute tummy. I don't have any sexual feelings toward children, but when it comes to lolicon, the thought doesn't really bother me, either. I'm truly neutral. Real children are another story. I find the sexualization of real children to be repugnant. In any case, I don't know what to make of this. I saw this image on another board, and I thought the character looked cute. She's cute in the way you have a crush on someone when you're a kid, in an innocent way. Or maybe I really am a sick freak. Full disclosure, I have OCD, and the thought of myself appreciating a picture like this in even the most innocent of ways makes me sick to my stomach. I'm concerned that means I'm going to turn into a full-blown pedophile. I know that's not true, because I'm not sexually interested in children whatsoever, but somehow, I can't help but feel like I'm a sick person for thinking this little character is adorable. I don't know what to do. I'm really scared.

Yes liking that specific image means something is fucked up in your head.
It's an obvious sexualization of a kid which you should be able to overtly pick up on.
It's like liking pictures of women sucking horse dick "because the women are attractive".
No man its perfectly fine I have "appreciated" some loli stuff. I have zero interest in real kidz
the difference between loving kids and pedophilia to me is this:
if you're looking at /admiring a childs body with no attachment to it's creation (or it has none) you're probably sick.
if you're looking at a child with the genetic combination of two consenting adults and find it beautiful (example: "this is what John and Jane created, how amazing"), you're probably not a pedo.
Does enjoying violent movies make you a psychopath?
Does enjoying videogames where you murder thousands of NPC's make you a serial killer?
The answer is obviously no (unless you're a soccer mom) because it's literally a drawing of a fictional character, but it's still creepy regardless. Guro, Ryona, Vore etc are all terrible for the same reason, they explore seriously twisted shit.
i think kids are cute i mean... idk, she's a cute little kid being playful. it's not sexual, she's smiling and having a good time
>"appreciated"
I don't like your choice of words. I don't get any sexual gratification out of this. I just think the character looks cute. Yes, the illustrator may have had impure intentions, but sex sells. Everybody knows that. I just think it's a cute design. I'm interested in learning how to design interesting characters myself, and I seem to have a particular affinity for this one, so I thought I'd save it, but then the thought occurred to me that it is intended to be consumed for sexual gratification, and I immediately got that sinking feeling.
It's an anime character, so I don't know how your second example could be applied, here.
This is how I feel about it, but I have my doubts.
i'm saying that you have no excuse because #2 isn't being implied here.
if it's not sexual attraction, it's a power / control fantasy
I'm not interested in abusing children, though. I just thought the character's design was cute. What's so wrong with that?
OP here. I did some thinking, and I've concluded that the sexual nature of the image makes it inappropriate. Thankfully, I'm not aroused by it, but I think I'll refrain from consuming this sort of content in the future. Thank you for being my sounding board and helping me figure this out. I'll try to mention this to my therapist as well, but I'm confident there isn't any cause for concern.
No because it's not drawn to be realistic.
Obviously not, but the law won't care about that as it is arranged to be entrapment and is ran by witch hunters.
Woah someone has common sense. Fascinating.
I'll always stand by the fiction does not equal reality stance. I have no doubt that some people who are into lolicon are into children, but I'm into loli (sometimes) and I fucking hate children. They're stupid and they're gross.
People claim the logic doesn't apply, but it's the same thing as violent video games. I love mowing down a few dozen innocents with my car in GTA, but I'd never do that in real life.
If you want a porn comparison, well I think incest porn is pretty hot, but I've never been attracted to anyone in my family.
yes
fuck off
I filter these out of habit, but I've seen the snippets of Deep Web stuff and that stuff is far more brutal
This is the Dark Web and let me tell you something friend
it was worse before
>This meme is as old as Rick Rolling
ngl i kinda feel the same way
it's cute but it's not sexy
like a little sister
I take it back
These are still dark days
But I promise you
the night is always darkest just before the dawn
>Chinese cartoon child porn
>not child porn
If it doesn't bother you than keep it as your background, but if rl people run away from you be proud of that oo.
Somebody please explain to me why aggravated sexual assault of a child is life in prison but a parent can kick the shit out of a kid in some states and it's legal or a slap on the wrist.
I legitimately do not understand how raping a kid is so much more fucked-up than just straight-up assaulting them. They're both traumatic and one literally injures.
Like, obviously both are wrong. I just don't see how one is potentially life in prison and immediate stigma but the other is just douchey and maybe jail time.
If we're at the point in a beating where it resembles attempted manslaughter, or if you're just bruising your kids up on the regular, how is that guy not just as bad as a pedo?
>to clarify, I think they should both carry the death penalty
One of them wants to rape the child
One of them wants to beat the shit out of the child.
Stay away from both of them. Anyone who does either is lucky not to be shot.
Another question is why is forcible rape of women seen as almost as bad as murder, while the state conscripting men into war where they are often ripped apart and penetrated by heavy metal objects is seen as natural?
People are weird about sex because most people are repressing their own feelings on this. Age of Consent laws were instigated not as the result of scientific consensus on brain development or anything like that but simply because of a moral panic sparked by a series of tabloid articles about an elite paedophile ring that was never found to exist.
You can't really expect balance or proportionality when it comes to these things. Most people aren't interested in justice.
Because people are retarded.
>both death penalty
And so are you.
I just don't understand why one carries such greater stigma than the other. One is life, getting beaten in prison, ruined reputation, scandal, and total disgust. With the other, you often get the kids back or face a relatively small penalty. Why is the one who wants to hold a kid down and rape them out of perversion a monster if the one who wants to hurt them directly out of anger is just a jackoff?
They're both totally psychotic urges directed at the most innocent and vulnerable. Both should be a bullet.
Need some advice. I haven't been able to sleep for 3 days almost, and been struggling real hard to get to sleep last two weeks, laying in bed for like 5 hours until I finally drift asleep for an hour. My mind is constantly hazy and I've been on verge to suicide. I don't know why this is happening, I feel tired before going to bed, but once in bed, I don't feel tired at all. Feels like I'm going crazy after this. I'm kinda social recluse and only work from home inside and I've shutted all my windows so no sunlight is getting in. Might this be a reason? I just can't open them again because then sun will come in and I will never be able to sleep since my sleep schedule since I was a youth has been sleep in the day, work in the night. Might it be vitamin deficeiency? I've been taking supplements tho, but dunno if that's enough
Oh shit, I was supposed to post this in a new thread, but accidently clicked on the one on top
Where do you live user?
Good ol' USA.
Good, then you can come to the same insightful conclusions that the rest of us make, by studying the simultaneous glorified violence our country lives up to while reading upon the hundreds of thousands of children wives we marry off to old men in the name of random christian denominations.
They're both perfectly legal here and they're are plenty of people you can start putting bullets into.

>Does liking this image make me a pedophile?
This pic is rather vaguely sexual with the whole neotenic anime thing going on so maybe you're just a lolicon but if you get off to shit like WAHH! POMF=3 with those realistic, kid-looking kids then yeah, you are a pedo.
It's the same thing with furries, really. If you jerk it to furries, you're just a furry. If you jerk it to actual dogs fucking, then yeah you have a problem.
My humble opinion of course and entirely subjective. I would steer clear of these things user, you might fall into a rabbit hole.
Kek
this, drawings represent the concept and idea of something that can be real
Something is wrong with you OP, I suggest visiting a psychologist/psychiatrist and check up yourself. You can recover eventually
>. I just think she's cute and cuddly. She has a cute tummy.
Pedo confirmed. Adults should despise all that is childlike so they can move forward. Adoration is degenerate.
Stick to cartoons. Many people are too damaged to inflict on humans. Fap to the cartoons, buy a fuckdoll, and opt out of ever interacting with children or anyone else.
youre attracted to anime lolis because youve entered a state of sexual arrested development from too much years being a virgin n as a result u still have the same mentality about sexuality that u did when u were a kid. Women your own age frighten you because they're rather large by comparison and also because to you, the grown woman represents all the dysfunctions of adult society. You're not sexually attracted to lolis, youre just sexually attracted to innocence.
Even if you are lolicon let's say that doesn't inherently make you a pedophile
Liking the 2d of something doesn't mean you you like the 3d of it too
Are you by any chance a 15 year old girl as well?
