Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

My memory is hazy on it but I remember a hexbear poster talking about how U.S. soldiers stationed in Japan started the whole lolicon craze in their pop culture. Am I talking out my ass?
I remember bringing up "Misora Hibari and the Girl Star in Postwar Japanese Cinema” by Deborah Shamoon in a thread a long time ago
Edited to include link to the full paper - not the abstract only.
It was probably you and where I was thinking on it, so it was a product of the postwar reconstruction?
I'm not a super smarty academic who has studied this, so take my opinion with a pound of salt.
I'd say many aspects of the lolicon craze in Japan have roots in American culture that rubbed off during the post-war occupation. People see sexualization of children in Japanese media and tend to have this orientalist "oh, Japan
" reaction to it while ignoring all the gross parts of their western cultures that also sexualize children.
