Do you think Lolicon should be considered child enthusiasm?

shows signs of liking actual children

signs such as, for example, liking animated children?

definitely not trying to make a case for loli here, tho the thing i'd worry about is the legal precedent of applying the same standards from real life to art; i.e. entirely fictitious depictions of events with non-real actors are just as illegal as depictions or real actions with real individuals. i'm don't think it's entirely necessary to describe why that might be a sketchy precedent to have. on a purely legal basis, you would probably have to be able to prove that there is some party at harm, and you're probably going to be hard-pressed to find any victim here other than maybe society (victimless crimes are usually crimes because people want to uphold morality tho, so that's not necessarily a problem)

playing lots of first person shooter games is a sign of wanting to commit a murder

Like it or not it's just drawn art, and no matter how disturbing drawn art is, making it illegal is not a good thing to do as art is a form of free speech.

It's tough however when it's like "oh this character looks like they're 13 but they're actually a million years old and gone through puberty!!!!"
Because how do we know if the viewer is attracted to the young body style, or the young mindset/style of actions, or both? If it's just the young body style, there's a possibility of it slipping out of the definition of child enthusiasm due to that technicality, but I'm not certain. If it's any of the latter two, then it is 100% child enthusiasm special interest art.

If you regularly consume it you likely legitimately suffer from child enthusiasm, and even if you never plan on acting on it I suggest getting professional help.

Found the child enthusiast. You do realize that lolicon is illegal in Canada right?

Wat? You're calling me a child enthusiast because I for the most part agreed that lolicon is child enthusiasm and that people who regularly consume it should seek professional help?
And how is it relevant that a country without the same free speech as the US is banning it?

i would agree with this too but if i remember correctly some therapists in some areas are required to report any signs of child enthusiasm to the police and the extreme negative stigma associated with child enthusiasm without child predation often lead to child enthusiasts unable/not wanting to get help or just straight out killing themselves

but yeah if you're having thoughts of the baby richard try to get help because i don't think kids really want you touchin up all in their stuff
