Why are you talking about it on tiktok?
I will say, I respect the ability of someone to talk about it in a method that helps others dealing with it, such as in a tiktok video...
But the fact is these people view it as a badge of honor. It's like firefighters who go off about how many dead people they see and how they are haunted daily by "the people they could not save." Stfu and go host another pamcake brempfkist.
I love how I can't see any of these because I'm not logged in to their trash-ass tranny-fucking website. (

I know)

They're really speedrunning their demise with this forced login shit. How shall governments and shadowy entities propagandize the most gullible of internet denizens when Reddit finally kicks the bucket?
To be fair, there's nothing stopping you making an email just to have a reddit account that you barely use.
I would be very weary of this sort of thing because liberal types have been known to be intentionally dense and go out of their way to misinterpret laws and regulations to push their agenda. Meaning they could be deliberately poking the law to try and overturn it and get their drag queen story hour back.
I think this is just a 90% of the population thing. I see this in the people who wear flannel and think that and god is all that they need to have a complete personality... well that and day drinking. They don't know anything about the issue. They just believe what people who think like them believe, so they argue in bad faith because that's their only option...
I mean, they could just not engage at all, but then no one would hear their very important opinion!
I'm just saying that having a teen dress in drag for a school theatre show is obviously not what the law is trying to prevent. Unless the show turns into a weird sex exhibit, but then that would get press attention. Little Shop of Horrors with a female seymore is gonna happen because theatre types love that shit.
True... but frankly, why is she so bent up about it? Who cares? Play another role. There will be other plays where you can dress up as a dude. Is the law stupidly applied here? Yeah. That's the world we live in. Both leftoid and rightoid state legislation are just overreacting to others. I'm more tired of adversarial politics than I am about stupid kids being denied parts in a play.
and conclude what's emotionally driving these commenters is simply jealousy.
I don't think so. I think they just are conditioned to spout the first thing that comes to their mind. No one ever told them that you should think before you post. Or they did, but it got lost in the modern internet. Meanwhile, they are contrarians. They NEED to be against the zeitgeist. They need to use big words and seem intelligent (I know... from the guy who used zeitgeist, but the difference is I don't just copy my vocabulary from other redditors like some kind of fedora-wearing AI), and their concept of intelligence is they can point out flaws in other people's statements. I don't think they mean to be adversarial. They are just being themselves. They aren't thinking of the other person because it's not them and their needs. It's not malicious, but my god is it sure annoying.
watch anime you will find yourself excusing it at least partially
I can agree in some capacity. There are a LOT of people who are just maladjusted adults that gravitate to anime. Are these people pedophiles? I don't think lolicon leads to pedophilia necessarily. I think people who are lolicons already have deep seated issues. But, to be fully honest, I don't find an issue with loli itself. It's a drawing. It doesn't do anything for me, but I think the focus on the art itself is an issue. The issue isn't the loli art, it's the lolicons themselves.
As for sexualizing anime characters like those in MHA that are 15? Sure, sexualizing anime characters is weird, but if they look like adults, I think it's dumb to argue about pedophilia here because of the number the author put on them for a story's sake. If I showed you a 30 year old woman and told you she was actually 15, are you suddenly a pedophile?
The distinction for pedophilia is either if the idea of them being underage is what excites you or if you are attracted to someone who looks underage, with the later being worse than the former. And I think the vast majority of the anime community aren't like either of these. The vast majority of anime fans are emotionally and socially stunted individuals who think a show is deep because it makes a hero speech every episode.
And I say this as someone who followed MHA since it came out. I don't like to admit it, but I enjoyed it. But I fully enjoy ecchi comedies so I guess my opinion is just trash. I grew up on them through highschool and part of the appeal is the insane events that you could never get in live action, like a man building a robot out of panties and then going around sexually harassing women in the town. Just pure insanity, and I love it. But there are plenty of people that would say because the aforementioned show involves a man who is canonically in highschool, it's pedophilia. But in the case of a drawing, age really is just a number. The content is really what needs to be watched out for. Shows like Made in Abyss are a masterpiece (and I do love it for that), but with how many pointless sexual scenes there are in it, it's only a matter of time before the creator get arrested. That man is definitely into children. But i don't think the show shouldn't exist just because those scenes exist. We'd be out of frankly one of the best anime I've ever seen with some amazing worldbuilding and miyazaki levels of art.
Even K-On where it was almost completely wholesome decided they NEEDED to imply the girls were naked in the outro.
Oh boy... This show is adorable from what I've seen, but god I don't want to watch it JUST because of the fans. People who watch this show always seem to be absolute man children...
I thin this show is also a magnet for pedophiles. Maybe I'm just grasping at straws, but the whole school life focus would attract people who are into teen girls. So ironically, one of the most wholesome anime is a magnet for these kinds of people. Though I think a component driving pedophilia (or perhaps more accurately Hebephilia or Ephebophilia) is failing to make social connections with women at a young age, so they grow older but they want to date people like it's highschool.
I suppose I could've ended up as one of these weird fucks... hell maybe I am. The difference is instead of burying myself in fantasy worlds I looked to do more with life. I think that's the difference between a properly adjusted anime fan and a degenerate. Are you contributing to society? Do you have a job? Do you have other hobbies, especially those which take you outdoors? But keep in mind, I do say this as someone who enjoys watching anime here and there. So maybe I'm just entirely wrong.
