As gay and retarded as adult women pretending to be cartoon characters is, attraction to an adult female can never be pedophilic considering they are not children. This is the "she was a 24 year old child" argument. A 40 year old mother of 3 putting on a schoolgirl outfit for her husband is not humoring pedophilia.
No I don't agree with that there's a difference between erotic role play involving age and outright monetizing the sexualization of lollicon.
While I understand where you're coming from, but there's a crucial distinction to be made between adults dressed as cartoon characters or role-playing as students, and VTubers pretending to be lolicon characters. The key difference lies in the intent and the power dynamic.
When an adult woman dresses up as a cartoon character or a schoolgirl for her partner, the context is clear: it's a consensual, adult role-playing scenario between two consenting adults. The power dynamic is equal, and the intention is not to deceive or exploit anyone.
In contrast, VTubers pretending to be lolicon characters often blur the line between fantasy and reality, creating a persona that is intentionally designed to resemble a prepubescent child. This can be problematic because it may appeal to individuals with pedophilic tendencies, who may be attracted to the idea of a child-like persona. The power dynamic is also skewed, as the VTuber is an adult presenting as a child, which can be exploitative and potentially harmful.
It's not about the age of the person wearing the costume, but rather the intent and the impact of their actions. While an adult woman dressing up as a schoolgirl for her partner is a clear case of consensual role-playing, a VTuber pretending to be a lolicon character can be seen as a form of exploitation that may perpetuate harmful attitudes towards children.
It's digital pedophilia
