For those that are unfamiliar with Lolicon and Shotacon - it's basically the fetish of young, under-age male/female, originated in Japanese culture.
Personally, I don't mind manga with this type of theme so long as it doesn't cross the non-explicit/adult boundaries. Although there are exceptions like Kodomo no Jikan where I found freshness in the plot-settings...watching a 23 year-old elementary school teacher getting harass by masegaki(s) (mature-child) is just that much fun. Having that said, as a male, I always view Loli as a form of uniquely enchanted cuteness, a psychical attractiveness in which you don't find on adult females - the facial and body structuring/scaling - without any sexuality ("yeah right, bullshit!")...ok, maybe just a little bit but still...imo if even to an extreme state, it would only remain as a Fetishism and would rarely lead to Pedophilia.
Disregarding the available inept psychological studies/reasoning, what are your intakes on this subject matter?
Lets commence the Shorta/Loli-rally...shall we?

Poll
I ABSOLUTELY love it to the point of obsession and am not afraid to defend this fetish - "Bite me!"
I enjoy it in a non-explicit manner (mildly suggestive theme) and am not ashame of it - "I read what I want so back off!"
I'm on neutral ground...don't hate it nor taken a fond of it - "Meh...whatever"
I don't like it and would always avoid this type of manga - "Urghh...distasteful!"
I am STRONGLY against it and am not afraid to express it in word or action...BURN THEM ALL - "INFIDELS, they must be purified!" Renault Mograine: WoW

Ehhhh I'm not obsessed about loli/shota but I don't mind reading it and wouldn't mind defending it. I've read both the explicit and non-explicit stuff and I don't really distinguish between the 2. As long as I enjoy them, it doesn't matter.
Otherwise, nothing to say... really. They're just stories to me, with a certain degree of sexual content or if not, with a certain amount to no storytelling. *shrugs*

Hmm, I wonder if this is a repeat.

Quote from NightSwan
The difference I see is that this one is more focus on the "level-of-degree" of like/dislike for the topic instead of gathering a general statistic perhaps?

Middle ground, I won't mind it.
But I do like curves.

This thread seems like a repeat..
Anyway. I really like Shota. Loli...Not as much.
I prefer the Loli to be on the older side (while still keeping the Loli label)
otherwise it starts to sicken me a bit, no offense
I'm fine with Shota at any age, as long as it is not Toddlercon.
You guys can have your Ero-guro and Bestiality, leave me alone.

There are no kids exploited, just silly to factualise this.
To me its just silly.
Should we arest the artist for drawing this? You know artists are supposed to get a good comprehension of how the human body works, so when drawing the skelatal of a kid they all practicaly draw them naked. Are they perveted because of this, NO!You just need people mature enough to read things like this.
When i say mature...i mean mentally.

and no im not into it

I really don't like it. It is hard to defend myself, since I don't even know how to word it. I suppose this is why I rarely include myself in conversations about lolicon or shotacon.
It's partly because I just dislike children in general though.

Don't care.
The only shota I've read had a thirteen year old boy
And the only Loli I read was... I dunno how to describe it.
It was smut... but it wasn't titillating. It was just the point of the story.
As I have said before I don't really see them as kids just little adults. You hardly ever know their real age anyways.
Overall I can count the number of shota/loli I've read on one hand.
What I dislike is that when CP gets all filtered down, manga with consenting teenagers gets kicked in the arse. That's like... all smutty shoujo down the drain.
++ Can I please add that looking up some of the loli I've read... I feel like a pedophile with that little warning. LOL

I really don't like lolicon or shotacon manga. I mean, if there's a little girl or boy in the story and there's nothing sexual going on with them, then I'll read it. Otherwise, give me a H-manga where the girl and the boy don't look like they should be in elementary or middle school.

Middle ground. I don't enjoy it, but I've watched anime and read manga that had what would be considered Lolicon/Shotacon in it. It doesn't bother me, but I don't find it interesting.
I honestly don't know why people are going batsh*t insane over this. It's manga/anime. A comic/cartoon. It's not real... But whatever, not everyone has common sense.

i hate it... it always leaves a bad taste in my mind.. not that my mind has a tongue or anything but you get the point right anyways...
i picked the second to the last option because if you burn all that stuff away... all the threads about it and all the fun debates will be gone as well... i wouldnt have a genre to hate anymore... so dont burn it!!
