Why is Violence in the medias ok but Lolicon is not? I've looked around different forums and I notice how every internet forum related to manga or anime often have 1 or more debates about the lolicon controversy. There will be the people who are fine with it, and then there will be the fanatics who are utterly against it to the level where they would want it to be banned rather then just ignore it.
Now lolicon have has some flak from the media lately, like unicef trying to ban it and stuff. So I can see that people in public do not like the stuff(atleast when they are interviewed by person).
But what I dont understand now is...if something like lolicon is opposed with such zeal because people believes it promotes pedophelia, or it encourages pedophiles to go out there and kidnap children or commit what they read in those stuff....then WHY are people ok with horror films, slasher movies, ACTION movies, wrestling, shonen, etc...?
I dont know, but I think that violence is a MUCH more serious issue then bad sex is...
If lolicon promotes pedophilia, then wouldnt all the action and violent media that people are so fine with be even worse?
If an impressionable children were to stumble upon both those thing at once, saw them both. I would be MUCH more worried about that kid deciding to take a butcher knife and start killing people rather then worrying that she might masturbate in her room alone because she wants to reenact the book.
So the question is...why are people ok with violence like slashers, shonen mangas, and action while they are repulsed by something harmless like lolicon? And if you say something like children are not supposed to be sexualised and that its wrong...then is it ok to brutalize them? |
