While paedophiles may be lolicons, lolicons are rarely paedophiles.
Remember: 2D good. 3D bad.
Anyone who is sexually drawn to children in any way is a paedophile. The word is grossly misused and misinterpreted, stretched from a queer and irrational psychological disorder term into a disgraceful, malevolent kid-fucking buzzword that makes people shit themselves over with fear and hatred the moment it arises in conversation, thanks to the media.
There is a good difference between paedophiles and child predators.
"There is no do-over in life" is often said and, especially in the case of Lolicons who have committed crimes, the rest of their lives will be horrible. As an adult, one should be aware that getting one's life back on track is extremely difficult compared to children who have a better chance.If you are a Lolicon,
Trying to start your life again isn't possible.
