like, i'm not saying this manga is wrong for existing or that those who read it and enjoy it are wrong to do so. what i did react to, however, was your opinion "As far as I'm concerned I can be horny for whatever I want in fiction and still be a decent person irl".
there are a lot of things that can be called fiction that's still harmful for both consumer and the producer. childporn that depicts the child(ren) enjoying whatever is being done to them, are just as much fiction as porn starring professional adult pornstars - yet one is harmful and one not so much. drawings of sexualized children is very much childporn, even if it is fiction. and i do trust you and believe you when you say you have no sexual interest in children irl, but i seriously doubt that goes for everyone else who has that mindset you do. one might take a moment to consider a few things: who makes the shota/lolicon stuff, who do they make it for, who is enjoying it and for what reason are they enjoying it?
let me know when the time skip thingy takes place cuz I'm dipping, this is way too disturbing and closeted pedos should stop defending it and giving mangakas a ground to sexualise children even if they're fictional
