It makes sense that the Anglo-Saxon obsession with pedophilia would spiral into a complete hatred of anything Japanese. The reason Anglos are so afraid of drawings in the first place is deeply rooted in their culture; a fear of and guilt about sex inherited from the Victorian age and its predecessors. The Japanese don't have that, which is why they aren't afraid of their own imaginations. Or you might say that they're not afraid of their own shadows.

In Jungian psychology, the Shadow is everything a person disavows and denies about themselves. What people repress will ultimately control them, chaotically, from the unconscious. And if I may get a little bit schizo here there are powerful people who are aware of this and are exploiting it for their own gain. They are essentially sorcerers; people able to use the unseen world (the unconscious) to affect change in reality. Their magic isn't supernatural, its psychology weaponized through propaganda. Through scaremongering about pedophilia, they are able to manipulate the psyche of the masses and manufacture consent for illiberal legislation like digital ID and banning certain types of pornography.
