Anyone else notice that? Makes me not want to watch anime..
Wich ones? i've seen lots of good material around, Zombie-loan, Soul eater, and even the classic ones.
Moe is the answer you are looking for. Catering to pedobear otaku is profitable, so anime studios have forsaken the model of broad appeal that gave us stuff like Macross and Cowboy Bebop back in the good old days of the 80s-90s.

It's anything but now. The golden age of cute anime was 2007-2011-ish. Shows like Moetan or Skygirls? There's nothing modern and comparable to that.
All relevant modern animes (think No Game No Life, or Re:zero...) have a loli as a stock character, but there's no single anime purely dedicated to the trope.
All you get is politically correct, C+ cup moeshit.
Why is there so much pedophilia in anime now?
Now?
Did you see your first anime in the last year or something?
Maybe it just seems like there's more 'pedophilia' coming from Japan because people are largely oblivious to how prevalent sex crimes committed against children are in their own countries. Seriously.
Unlike many countries in the west with chronic problems with pedophilia - Japan largely abides by the age of consent rules. If you look at crime statistics, Japan is typically ranked 50th or lower for ALL sex crimes INCLUDING pedophilia related crimes. The US, UK, etc are keeping it classy in the top 10 to 20 for most sex crimes committed.
One of those differences is that Japan allows for the outlet of undesirable sexual attraction through fiction - lolicon culture, underage characters, fictional pornography etc.
The west on the other hand won't even allow abuse of fiction children to occur in peoples imaginations - it's repressed to the point that quite a few people snap and go after real children instead.
Japan isn't shy about the existence of people attracted to younger ages - but because they openly allow safer outlets for them it makes them an easier target for countries that are essentially massive hypocrites.
If I had to choose between Japan allowing the pursuit of fake, non-existent children on paper and computers versus the Wests frequent sexually active pedophiles, child sex trafficking rings and dark net child exploitation and porn distribution groups... I'd rather Japan stick with the saucy drawings and computer animation and leave real kids out of it.
Don't go looking up the registered sex offenders list for people in your area. You WILL regret knowing just how many kiddy diddlers live within driving distance of you. That is a fact.
actually, I like moe and lolis, so this isn't a problem for me
Since the 'lolicon' culture started to be spread (thanks to the internet that created an entire culture around that and treated it as a normal thing), animes with lots of sexual content involving children or people that look underage have been the most profitable. Japanese people also lack some sense of morality, which is why most of them will produce anything that gives money.
The animated movies industry, however, hasn't been that affected by the 'lolicon' culture. In This Corner of the World, Kimi no Na Wa and Koe no Katachi were produced recently and are great movies. That's why I don't watch many TV series but still watch movies very often.
Lolis aren't that bad, it's the moeblobs who are the enemy.
Loli moeblobs are the worst!!

I wouldn't rely on sex crime statistics being accurate. Counties that take sex crime more seriously are going to both enforce it better and make victims feel safer about coming forward. Japan really discourages women from reporting sexual harassment and so on.
>>14
So what are you supposed to base anything on, if you say the numbers lie? I highly doubt that "anyone that draws/reads loli, they must all be pedophiles" is accurate. You would have to move into changing their culture completely if you wanted them to "more accurately" report their crimes.
>>15
Let me rephrase this. I wouldn't rely on sex crime statics as a good indicator or how much sex crime is committed in one country compared another. It's only accurate for reported sex crimes, that meets their standards for what counts as a sex crime.
I wasn't arguing a position on whether or not, Lolicon leads to adult otaku's actually going out and raping little irl lolis. I really have no strong opinions on that. I would more likely believe that people who seek out porn of actual children are a lot more likely to want to have sex with actual children. This is entirely based on nothing, as it's not something I've looked into and I would be surprised if it's been studied extensively without bias.
I noticed it. Makes me want to watch more anime.
The issue I see with the loli / lolicon debate is that it make s people who are normally principled and rational abandon ideas like free speech and free expression in favour of appearing to fit in and hate the 'pedos'. I mean don't get me wrong, I hate child abusers too, but lolicons and paedophiles are two vastly different things. But I digress, the point I want to make is that even if lolis do allow paedophiles to get off, they should still be allowed. The reason is simple: the creation of fictional characters does not cause real harm. Even if lolis are wrong and immoral, they don't hurt anyone, and you're free to avoid them if you wish. This being the case, they should be protected by free speech just as things like blasphemy are. Now, some people might respond by saying that lolis could lead to real child abuse; this is simply untrue (I think most of you probably already know, but for those of you newly born degenerates, this is a completely unfounded and baseless claim, with no evidence to support it).
Fake lives matter?
read manga instead
Think of the fictional children!!
>>22
The fictional popo are coming to arrest you.
Watch out. They have Jack Bauer.
>>23
now i'm in fictional prison where fictional niggers are raping me
>>22
Chris Hansen is en route, stay where you are
>>24
And you're also underage now, making them the pedos.
Also if pedos get off to lolis it's all the more reason to let it be. Pedos getting off to drawings is way better than pedos getting off to child porn or going to kindergartens or something
ur all gay
cunny
lolikon daisuki~
Who the fuck doesn't like moe? Especially if you like loli.
>>31
Moe anime is just fanservice fluff (yes even the early 2000s shit people on tumblr post dithery .gifs of). Unless it's an actual well written series with good animation it's trash made to sell as many figurines as they can before the show becomes another forgettable flavor of the month
Remember when anime was good? Anime was never good.

because only white people are not pedophiles, that's why
I wish there were more cute kindergarteners in my anime.
It's not pedophilia is just apart of Japanese culture it has been since the late 70s.
>>36
japanese age slowly. we had a jap working at our office, she was like 24 but looked 14. so if a girl is 18 she'll probably look like a 12 year ol. they all look younger than they are. thats wht pedophilia is accepted in japan because no one can tell anyone's age.
In Japan under 25 is considered attractive and over 25 is considered too old.
>>37
Even so, there's plenty of lolicon where it's specifically stated that they are elementary/middle school students. CP was also legal back then.
I'm from year 2023, living is no longer legal.
>>37
It's an unpopular opinion at least with normalfags these days but I dont think pedophilia is based on age alone, but mainly on mental state
You're probably a pedophile if looking at kids in a playground gives you a boner but being sexually attracted to a woman who looks young because of genetics or fucked up hormones isn't morally wrong because mentally she's an adult, but society has a problem with stuff like that
Conversely, dating a mentally retarded person should also be considered pedophilia
Having a penis should be considered pedophilia.
May stop watching pedo shows? Most anime isn't pedo
Anime isn't real. So everyone entertaining the idea is by default seeing these drawings as sexual beings in existence whenever they really aren't. You're the ones who are clearly delusional.
I guess pedos pay
why not?
GREAT JOB
