What the fuck are you talking about? It's everywhere. There's never been more of it. The notion of an "online career" and being "cancelled" continues to not be a real thing in Japan, which is the only place that matters when it comes to this stuff. Stop being retarded.

A few things;
1. Normalfags (mainly Anglos) own the internet now.

2. The mythology of consent replaced the mythology of homosexual sex being unnatural/abnormal/sinful. It allows Anglo normalfags to be accepting of homosexuals while still fulfilling their psychological and cultural need to shame people for their sexuality.

3. Feminism overcame patriarchy, and now we live in a matriarchy. Anti-pedophile activism is misandrist, and began as a movement within feminism.

Nah, he's right. Loli used to be relatively uncontroversial on teh interwebs. Now people call it "cartoon CSAM." There's kind of a lolicon fad going on because being a lolicon is the only edgy thing left now, but outside of that it's become a niche.

As far as western artists go, theyre routinely harrassed by mobs of d*scord moral jihadists, it becomes too much of a hassle to deal with, sadly.

Japanese deal with their own feminist/neo-moralist crusaders too, theres many japanese artists who are on their 10th twitter account due to foreign and domestic harassment campaigns.
If you live in a country where you dont have to worry about local LEAs getting involved - some shitholes like brazil, mexico, el salvador, then you can freely and publicly disregard harassers, however if you live in a european country or an anglo countery, or even some eastern european countries that have morality/obscenity laws, if the police are pestered by your detractors enough, they get involved, and nobody wants that.

As an artist, its not very much fun to get scary messages from social media platform moderators because a group of nonbinary teenagers decided your drawings shouldnt be seen on the internet. With targetted harassment groups and social media platforms drinking the "even drawings are harmful" koolaid, it gets to a point where it just becomes not worth it anymore to engage with the public. Many many artists including myself have stepped away from fanbases of 100k or more, in my case about 45k, because dealing with obsessive, awful people became taxing.

Many loli artists, like a lot of other japanese artists had moved to fantia and other patreon-like paywall services, this usually keeps the riffraff out, but it also means that less of their artwork is freely floating around.

Another factor is payment processors, even in japan banks have been pressuring japanese commerce sites to ban artists who draw lolis, or not host lolis on their platforms, this is chiefly censorship coming from "western" finance in an attempt to wrangle cultures.
This had a knock-on effect that caused many artists to change what they draw, in order to keep using these websites, they go from drawing todcon and loli, to drawing larger breasted girls or plausibly-deniable post-pubertal types.

who is this sea sam everyone is talking about?

It was always a niche! Where the fuck were you where being a lolicon wasn't a niche? Who's calling it "cartoon CSAM"?

This is bizarre historical culture war revisionism. You're a retarded faggot.

Someone told me theres tweens and teenagers on t*kt*k calling proudly themselves lolicons.
Im not sure if they are just trying to be edgy but it makes me a little bit uncomfortable that they have zero shame about it, almost to the point of lacking self preservation. its scary!

i guess its just a generational thing

>>187690
have you realized that they are emulating zombiebeats, who also called herself a lolicon

>>187687
seasam is not a submarine yet full of seamen

>>187691
i dont know who that is

honestly creating or interacting with lolicon on any kind of platform seems rather despairing currently

on one side you have people trying to start flamewars by bringing politics and 3DPD into it
on the other side you have a constant influx of neglected kids being neglected kids
then you have people who will hunt you down to the ends of the earth because they're bored or sumthin

what happened to simply enjoying the medium for all that its worth, huh?!
i remember fondly the days of yore where the brown bear would run around the parasol hunting the little girl and that would be it and nothing more
though i can't deny that scouring through some profiles on both dedicated and non-dedicated sites brings me into despair, anonymity really is a blessing on both sides

a lot of the younger crowd uses the term "lolisho", which i find offensive. lolis and shotas are different, and shouldnt be lumped into one... I dont know where it came from, but i dislike it passionately.

the modern feminine culture despises neotony as it represents a fleeting yet ephemeral beauty in this world, a respite amongst the sea of chaos. something that HAG women become deeply resentful and bitterly jealous over. such a thing cannot be allowed!

>>187697
simply stop being jealous and love lolis, its easy. （　´∀｀）つ

azuma-sensei said something about young people identifying themselves as lolicons and something along the lines that they are not lolicons, i wish i could find the image though. in my opinion youre a lolicon once youre 18 thoughnot saying young people can also enjoy lolis.. but i miss the days when bishoujo lolis were treated as something quirky and as another part of otaku culture since it literally is!

>>187689
What used to be a niche was otaku culture, lolicon was just inside that culture. Nowadays anime and manga is something all normies consoom but lolicon has remained a niche because normalfaggots will call you a pedophile for enjoying it, 100% virtue signaling. They even call you a pedo/lolicon for any series where the characters are just young, like Keion or Madoka Magica. The anon you're replying to hit the nail on the head on why this happens.

Solution is simple and thats 2 ignore everything thats anti-otaku and just go for teh most otaku shit there are out there! Old is gold! :3

>>187689
you just don't know history.
pretty much no one ever complained about loli on ibs before like 2010. CP posting even if banned was normalized with ib users in the early days so if people were complaining back then it wasn't about loli. loli was so normalized that most casuals didn't know it was different from regular hentai

I think a LOT of the loli complainers today are from actual child abusers and predators who moralfag to hide themselves in the mob of reactionary retards, or they are just retards themselves.

GTA or Schedule 1:
-Crime is only virtual
-Violence is imaginary
-Its art
Therefore good, its not real and doesnt turn people into violent criminals

Lolis:
-Lolis are only virtual
-They are imaginary drawings
-Its art
THEREFORE MURDER EVERYONE BECAUSE ITS SO REAL AND TURNS PEOPLE INTO MOLESTERS ZOMG

request to move this thread to /l/ to promote loli discussion on the loli board?

Youre right there are a lot of dark triad types who are moral crusaders.
Many weirdos like to re-direct blame to others to hide their own weirdness.
Theres a lot of moral policing from people in south america, meanwhile they have the highest rates of child pregnancy...

I think these types fixate on drawings because its an easy target, its easy to pick on people who just want to make art and dont want trouble.
And what are they going to do, they cant defend themselves to society - "Help me, these people are harassing me, all i wanted to do was draw babies getting bukkake'd" as a loli artist its an incredibly hard position to defend to the public, so most dont fight and instead retreat when harassed. It makes them easy victims/scapegoats for these censorious sociopaths. its unfortunate.

Japanese artists stand on the shoulders of greats who did a lot of work to normalize loli/moe in otaku culture, the west is just barely getting started with the pro-lolicon subcultures that are coming up online, nobody should compare the two societies because theyre at completely different levels of evolution.
