i don't... Perhaps when I'm 80 but not now. I detest, despise and shun both shotacon and lolicon. To me it seems an excuse for child porn. It's the Idea that is disgusting not the actual characters.

Love lolicon a lot. Can't get enough.

It isn't shota if the boys are 16-17 years old. ...like those two are.

uhhhhhhh......kids under 18 are considered minors....

Yes yes, but shota means kids under 12 (or sometimes 14) years old.

....so in japan.....kids after 14 are considered adults?

Lol. That has nothing to do with it. I'm talking about manga/anime genre 'shotacon' not about what's legal between real life people.

teenager boy x teenager boy = yaoi
teenager boy x adult man = yaoi
little boy x little boy = shota
little boy x adult man = shota
little boy x teenager boy = shota

It might be illegal to an adult man to have a relationship with 16 year old boy but when you have that kind of thing in a manga, you call it yaoi. For example Nee, Sensei and Calorie are both yaoi although the first one has adult x teenager relationship and the second one teenager x teenager.

wow....I also thought Shota just mean under aged explicit stuff that's not legal. Either way, it's sickening.

I love shotacon!
But only because it's NOT in real life.

I love shotacon to a manga or anime extent considering that both are fiction-based and it's yaoi (I'm a yaoi fan) so real-life child pornography is out of the question.



Some of you might say that anime/manga shotacon is no different from real child pornography... In my point of view, it does.
There's a fine line between reality and fiction. ^__^

If you like shotacon to the point of watching anime and reading mangas, then it's fine [It's called a hobby.. a weird one, but still a hobby]. If you like it to the extent that you're watching real ones and even thinking of doing it with a child then you might have a serious problem in your hand.XD
You might even be a pedophile for all I care [j/k].

I like shotacon because it's cute,adorable and shows that anime/manga children can be considered mature enough [than real children] since they realize their own feelings and are not afraid to express it, let alone do something about it whilst some grown-ups hide their feelings even to the point of death... ok, the grown-up thing is a bit of an exaggeration but you get the idea.

This is my opinion anyway ^_^

I never been much of a fan of either, I can't stand lolicon, but shotacon can be really good if it has a good story with it. But somehow finding that "good story" can be really tough....

i am more inclined to read lolicon, like Osakabe Mashin's Kindan series. But i would like these women to have a womans figure not that of a child. I guess there is something there between younger woman/teenagers [definitely not children, i guess i like them with curves ] and slightly older men [20s-30s] that kind of catches my attention.

Don't like either one.

Neither. I'm a yaoi fan, but I can't stomach shota or lolicon. ;;

I do not like shotacon nor do I like lolicon.

But...
when I was that age (ages ago ) I would not have thought of it as underage sex or shotacon/lolicon. Only as sexy scenes between characters who were not on their last feet

But I was kid back then
