That's not what I said, and you know damn well what I mean.
You can rationalize it all you want, but highly sexualized drawings of underage looking girls are icky as fuck.
They’re drawings in a very unrealistic artstyle, the argument that “they look underage” is pointless when under a realistic lens they barely look human.
If you think they’re icky that’s fine, I’ve seen plenty of anime artwork that made me kinda uncomfortable, but equating them to a serious crime like pedophilia is an argument I’ll never get behind.
And there you have the plausible deniability... "It's ok because it's just a drawing" "Maybe it's an adult woman who just looks petite" "Sure she looks 12 but in the anime she is ackshually 2000 years old".
Also, in some animes the girls are canonically underage.
Pedophilia itself is not a crime. It's a paraphilia, aka a mental disorder. The crime is when you act on it with actual children.
So sexualized drawings of 12 year old girls are not a crime in most jurisdictions, but they're still pedophilia and problematic.
It’s still a drawing, and an unrealistic one at it. You can’t say liking an unrealistic representation of something real equates to being attracted to the real thing, any furry would be considered a zoophile and anyone who likes a zombie character a necrophile.
Not to mention if you go for the specific paraphilia term, that applies to people who like prepubescent children, and I don’t think they’re the same people who would appreciate SrGrafo’s stuff or “14-year old” characters with massive breasts like Yoko Littner.
