Expressions & Terminology

part 1: History of lolicons and Shotacons

Lolita complex refers to romantic feelings towards young girls ( pedophilia ), and also to a person who possesses such feelings. It is a Japanese-made English term composed of " Lolita " and "complex , " [ 1 ] and is often abbreviated as "lolicon ." The name Lolita originates from Vladimir Nabokov 's novel of the same name, and is the nickname of the much younger girl whom the middle-aged man in the novel loves.

Japanese Wikipedia

Lolicon is attraction to little girls, while shotacon is kind of like its opposite which is attraction to little boys.

we also need to know about an important figure to lolicons:

Yamada Hiroyoshi

Unlike most scholars, Yamada believed Carroll’s girl photography was intentionally lustful in nature. Writing as Kawamoto, he described these photos as “convey[ing] the feelings of a lonely girl-lover observing girls”, saying these were taken with “affection and imagination”. (Mushizuka 83) Yamada also expressed remorse over Carroll’s destruction of his own photographs, and took interest in cataloguing his surviving photography. 

Yamada was also especially fond of a Carroll-inspired book of portrait photography called Shoujo Alice, published in 1973 by Sawatari Hajime. The book contained full-colour nude portraits of a real 8-year-old French girl, staged as Alice from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, posing in long, frilly dresses and sheer sheets of lace. Yamada was passionate about this aesthetic, but most other adults were repulsed by it. He continued to quietly “collect” media that fell in line with his girlish fantasy.

source for both quotes

Yamada himself was someone against strong censorship.

one of the first "lolicon" things was a movie. containing real children.

This film was admired by early lolicons, who related to Pierre, and interpreted his actions for better or worse; Kawamoto Kouji was especially fond of the film, and regarded its premise as a “fantasy” wherein a grown man was allowed to frolic with a little girl.

The people who let lolicon happen

the world lolicon also comes from a misunderstanding of the book Lolita

Part 2: Radqueers history

Radqueer, an abbreviation of "radical queer", refers to a radical ideology that supports transidentities and paraphilias. The original definition also supported the inclusion of these identities under LGBT+.[1]

LGBTQIA+ Wiki (unsupportive of radqueers)

this is not using the original 2010 meaning, but the current newer one.

i am going to be focusing more on the xenosatanist side of radqueers.

radqueers started out on the idea that "LGBTQIA+ isn't very inclusive." so they made their own . using what is called as "transIDs" (to be honest I don't think they have anything else besides transids)

Part 3: Expressions & Terminology

their arguements both rely on the same ideas.

"freedom of art" (most commonly used in arguements for lolicons) -> "freedom of expression" (most commonly used in arguements for radqueers)

without the lolicon movement in Japan, which normalized the pedophilia in Japan.

"but Japan has lower sa rates"

Japans police silence victims a lot. the sa rates do not really have anything with lolicon.

According to 2014 statistics, “Japan’s incidences of rape are astonishingly low — less than one incidence per 100,000 people, in contrast to the almost 37 per 100,000 in the US.” At first glance, this low rate paints Japanese survivors as liars. However, less than five percent of incidents are even reported; for children and LGBTQ+ survivors, this rate is likely lower. Japan’s male-dominated, conservative society makes it difficult for victims to come forward. Legal red tape further complicates reporting and silences survivors. The Me Too movement never impacted Japan the way it did the US—but it did encourage a new phrase: We Too. 

It's a lot, for books aimed at eleven year olds who want to read about kids turning into fun animals.

On the podcast, the two (American) hosts happened to get onto the topic of the post-9/11 Iraq War and their reactions to it. They were both children at the time and as such could not be expected to have particularly nuanced views of US military policy. The person who hadn't read Animorphs was unsurprised by the declaration of war; that's what you did. Someone attacks America, America goes to war. That's how a country protects itself, through military revenge. The Animorphs fan, about the same age, had been devastated and against the war from the start. War was a Big Deal and, while sometimes unavoidable, should be a last resort; a lot of people were going to die, and a lot more were going to get hurt, and no matter how the war shook out it was still going to be horrible. They attributed this perspective, of course, to the series that had taught them about the horrors endemic to war in an engaging way at such a young age -- to Animorphs.

"Look, I'm just saying pedophiles use the sexualization of fictional children to validate and normalize their proclivity for sexualizing real children"
