@SeehIsMe: Actually, you know what, since...

Actually, you know what, since it's sunday and i have some free time, and this is a topic i care about since i've been a victim of CSAM, no, lolicons are not pedophiles

Gonna use the little knowledge that i got from studying neuropsychology for some years, so ay, silly emote🧵

"Pedophilia" (which in this case, we talk about the disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition with measurable brain differences, fictional media can't create it, nor give the satisfaction of the philia. They're structural alterations in frontal, temporal, and limbic areas

This is the same reason of why the theory of "Let's satiate this guy's pedophilic tendences with fiction" has never worked and been discarded by the scientific community, the same was used for healing rage with "just kill people on a game", the reverse wont work neither

Gannon and it's theory showed pedophilia arises through multiple pathways: genetic vulnerability, prenatal factors, or environmental trauma, that's how neurological this is, fiction can't rewire temporal lobes or alter amygdala volume, that shit's just childish thinking

Imagine it's to that point, that on 2002, one of the most interesting studies on the world (for me at least) shown that a man that got a TUMOR removed on his brain, completely killed his entire pedophilic tendencies, this shit is not a "erm but the fiction can make it" thing

You compare COD and lolicon to argue they're different, maybe in your own world, in the real one, for MANY people, they're not, Ferguson's meta-analyses, found violent fiction doesn't create violent people consumption does not predict behavior, same for any fictional content

And with that we go to the slippery slope, every moral panic followed the same pattern, comics 1950s?, Wertham claimed they caused delinquency, it was proved he fabricated evidence. D&D 1980s? CDC found no link. Video games 2000s? Supreme Court ruled 7-2 in Brown v. EMA (2011) -

that evidence was never suficient, fiction gets scapegoated, then research debunks it.

This is not an "but its only this!!" case, fictional content is fictional content, this moral panic shit happened through decades, all the fucking time dawg, and it still happens

"But it's still weird icky and wrong and it should be called out!! Why do you care???"

If you were just stupid i'd let it pass, but you ACTIVELY FUCKING HURT PEOPLE BY DOING THIS SHIT, to the point that there's ENTIRE articles ABOUT HOW BELIEVING THIS DESTROYS CHILDREN HELPLINES

Do i need to mention Collective Shout, an Australian anti-porn group founded by a conservative anti-abortion activist banning games under the "for the children, fiction is dangerous" label just to ban 20.000 games that had queer storytelling? Detroit become human and GTA V too?

Fiction is subjective. What you consider 'problematic' is different from others, and i assure you, what you deem "bad", WHATEVER it is, not only loli, because fiction can twist, will not be the same for others, and when your stuff gets hit? Good luck getting it back brother 🫡

The frameworks that protect real people exist for real people. Extending this to fiction, just gives censorship tools to whoever shouts loudest

If you dgaf about collective shout tho, ay, wanna have a talk with my friend Kennedy JR too? In big 2026 btw

Also "this is related to Japan too, the age of consent was 13!!!"

Yeah, and in the majority of prefectures, even on Tokyo, it was 18 since fucking decades

Why don't you go to Germany (14), Italy (14) or France (15) too? oh sorry, they don't contain icky fiction, my bad

There's a DOZENS of more points to do and that are interesting as fuck about all this, going back to gore movies, and even talking about other neurological patterns

But ay, i want to continue playing Spiderman, but, since i'm not a lazy bum, here's some sources:

hawaii.edu/PCSS/biblio/ar…

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC88…

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC44…

And some more

Last thing, u want to make a difference in the world? Stop watering down terms, and ask for sexology and basic psychology to be teached more properly on schools, so if something bad ever happens to a kid, the cycle doesn’t continue, and they’re able to speak about it without fear

And for the "LOL DUDE SO MANY RESEARCHES FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS?" people

i'd be grateful that researching exists, because without the 100s of researches that were made about violent fiction back on the day, you wouldn't have your silly GTA nor your Mortal Kombat brochacho

Also i do know that a lot of people dgaf about the actual topic and it’s just more of a “i dont like this so im gonna pretend its bad so it doesnt appear anymore” thing

But i like doing researches and talking about them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ shit’s fun and neuroscience is super cool

stopitnow.org

Also this is getting a lot of attention so shameless plugin

DONATE TO THIS ORG NEOWWWW!!!!!! i do my monthly donations and you should too 🫡 (if you have the money ofc, dont feel forced if you dont)
