@r000t @matrix of course, saying "the kids" (talking about pedos basically is the same thing) do you really think someone is going to say no?
even the pedos wouldn't out themselves that way
and yeah, there's such a weird culture around it, the "pureness" of those characters is basically everything and they being blatantly minors enhances that fantasy
and of course there's a distinction between fantasy and reality, I don't think that most Otakus that publicly say that they like lolis and such would go beyond that
but it greatly increases the probabilities of developing the fetish and gives a path towards more real stuff (just look at pawoo lol)
so it's worrying at least
