    it also enables the core behaviour of sexualising children to be socially acceptable because “oh it’s just a drawing”.

    By your logic, people shouldn’t play Call of Duty either because it enables the core behavior of shooting people with guns to be socially acceptable because “oh it’s just a video game”.

    By your logic, any movie or book depicting any illegal act shouldn’t exist because it would “enable the core behavior to be socially acceptable”.

    Sorry, that one doesn’t hold water for me.

      It depends on why people are engaging with those things, and what it is they think they’re doing.

      When people talk about fictional pedophilia “satiating the person’s needs so they don’t go out and commit a real crime,” they’re kind of tipping their hand, don’t you think? A gun-game player doesn’t actually want to kill anyone, but apparently fiction and non-fiction are veeery similar concepts in the mind of a lolicon.
