Loli Pantsu Explosion
Posted this short article I wrote in response to the recent increase of silly moves to ban loli manga and anime on DC.com. I feel that my views should be aired on my blog as well, so, here goes!
Let’s take a closer look at loli and why there’s such a big fuss over it.
What is wrong with loli?
Based on the opinions of many, a loli is defined as someone (mostly girls) who looks like a child / preteen or simply below legal age.

The Age Factor
~
What will you do?
Loli Anime or Manga (with sexual content) may disgust some and even when the age of the character is stated as 18, people still scoff. But wait! Why can’t an 18 year old look like a child? I am sure that there are many cases of people who look far too young for their age in the real world as well.
Take Konata’s argument for example. She stated in episode 22 of Lucky Star (12 minutes in) that if she was of legal age, but looked short. If a guy her age loved/liked her, would he be considered a lolicon? Therefore, we cannot really judge a loli by appearances. I am sure that in certain cases, this can be considered as discrimination.
Loli Line up?
Check out the pic above. All the characters pictured are 17/18.
On average, 18 year old Asians look like 12 – 13 year old Americans. Many American teens could in turn pass off as an adult in Singapore,Japan, etc… It is really sad that some people do not know the difference.
Some other factors to consider when judging loli:
- actual age
- maturity
- appearance
- sexual knowledge
What about those loli that are stated/depicted to be actual children. Well, read on.

2D vs. 3D
~
If you could only pick one...
Some protest that such material will influence adults to become real-world pedophiles. Where is the proof? There has been an article (which I lost the link to) that says that Japanese sexual culture is much better than Western sexual culture as 2D is popular in Japan. It is highly unlikely that a fan of 2D lolicon would be converted into a 3D pedophile. There is a a huge difference between the two as many Anime/loli fans would point out.
Even if loli Manga and Anime does indeed depict actual children. They are just drawings. These drawings are harmless. Arresting someone for possessing loli manga without them doing or committing any wrong is just, well, unjustified.
You might as well arrest someone who looks suspicious just because he MIGHT commit a crime.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But if something offends or disgusts you due to your religion or beliefs, just avoid it! You don’t have to rob others of their freedom, nor do you have to spread or convince others of your ideals. Each individual has their own unique fetish.
(Of course, real world CP is just plain wrong, sick and twisted.)
What are your opinions?

What you cant ban it!! (I havent visited dc.com b4 though)
my thoughts may be a bit messed up cause i dont really under stand this
I mean wts so wrong with juging somone as 13 but there 18
ok i get it now i just read it through again and i dont know why im not deleting this bit now…..
[REAL BIT STARTS HERE]
Ok first wts wrong with having a 18 year old girl look like a 13 year old
I understand that people may be pervs or somthing but these are pics and they cant really hurt anyone like a real pic where they can track u down with (lots of infocause just a pic wont do much )
But if i was 18 and i was a prev looking at people i would go to a porn site or facebook the only pervs ur gonna get on sites like DC are nerd : ) thats me and old guys like 50 and arent loli mangas and animes just like doujisn ? Just go ahead and ban those why dont you
and wt if somone like me whos 12 ( yes i know my utube page says 17)
wnts to look …… im looking at people who look the same age arent I
In certian countrys at the age of 10 im classed as a adult (its surpuzingly cool) and in the jewish religon 13 is the age of a adult
and if it real people who are loli dosent that mean im looking at somone older ( damm the person i like is 5 months older…..this is a very bad controdiction)
But evreyones views should be spread but some views are plain wrong
No banning loli on DC (i may just go look at some of that …..)

They do arrest the ones who look like they’re gonna do something. It’s called the PATRIOT act. lol. really pathetic thing, the PATRIOT act.

I think that the whole loli banning thing is ridiculous. If they’re going to do that, might as well force 3D lolis to stay inside all the time or something.
Although for the 17 year old picture, they really should have used a better pic for Konata, she’s shorter than Ink! [Although, how tall is Ink anyway?]

“Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But if something offends or disgusts you due to your religion or beliefs, just avoid it! You don’t have to rob others of their freedom, nor do you have to spread or convince others of your ideals.

Unfortunately in some countries like the US there are such things as arresting people for being suspicious… and they wonder why I’m a hikkikomori *sigh*

I don’t mind sexualisation of lolis if the real age (fictional age) of the character is actually legal (e.g. Yami-chan 2loveru). However I cross the line on sexualisation of loli characters that are also fictionally underage / pre-pubescent (e.g. FREEing figure of Kyon no Imouto – that figure is disgusting to me).
However underage loli characters just meant to be cute, and not sexualised at all, is perfectly fine to me (e.g. Kyon no Imouto in the actualy series).
In so far as moving to ban it? Imo if it goes againts my guidelines, I’m marginal on it. It depends on how extreme it is (e.g. tentacle henta with ficitonal pre-pubescent girl/boys is way extreme). Then again no one 3d was hurt to produce it, but it still makes you think that whoever is into that stuff is insane and gives you the impression that that kind of stuff is OK in the 3d world as well, when it obviously isn’t. Just my opinion!

I hate when people think that just because your attracted to loli you will want to rape or do something to a real life person.

I like loli. If they ban it (which is probably never gonna happen) I’ll just look at it anyway. *is put on government watchlist*

Silly PK Atomsk: Several countries already banned it succesfully. D:

Alice Margatroid is a loli, sooooo believable.

the thing is some lolis don’t even look like lolis and according to my friend the term loli means a female Asian (japenese/chinese) child porn star don’t ask how he found out.
