My Clear Stance On LoliSho Stuff and Moe Style Art

 

Any pics I will do my best to credit the artist for as I feel its important to do that unless I can't find the source please do not harass any of these artists if any of their art makes you uncomfortable

if any of the artists don't want me using their art please let me know and I will delete/replace them on this blog

I make it no secret about some of my faves on pixiv or the things I retweet on twitter I love sharing stuff that makes me happy and whimsical colorful art I find adorable or fun even if its just cute innocent art 

but I do also understand any concern anyone would have for certain pics I have shared or retweeted that may have caused uncertainty or maybe drawn the line a little unintentionally  such as these pics below as an example 

(Art by Yuyucoco one of my all time fave artists to be honest) 

(Art by Drugsneko I see myself as this particular character tbh and find this persons artstyle cute)


But I wanna make my stance 100% clear regarding this especially since I lost a friend this year because of it which I respect and understand why but man rejection sensitivity is a bitch which I'll get to more why later 


so to be clear how I see loli and shota characters or I guess child coded characters is in a simple innocent way of these few things 

(Art by @htk_2720)

1- I just find them cute or wholesome 

(Art by @yuyumatsu_ another artist I really adore who does cute moe art)
2- I like the cute moe art style or the way a particular artist draws characters 

(Art by Chitosezaka Suzu)
3- I see myself as small and little somedays due to my age regression and find myself relating to these types of art and characters 

(Art by the Artist PoorTrainer of Kirean from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet hes a precious bean) 

4- They are the types of characters I rather protect from any harm or danger and just give them comfort and do nice hang out stuff like video games or coloring in or even playing games like keepy uppy in bluey as friends or younger siblings 



So my love of the moe artstyle and lolisho or chibi type characters is usually in an innocent non sexual way 
again I understand why some pics may be seen as sexual or drawing the line a little such as showing skin or in a suggestive pose 
or whatever else 
(mild nsfw warning) 

(Art by @Tsukimi_Mumi who does really cute moe artstyle type art)
Like I do get it I really do but even if that is the case 
I don't see myself getting my pp hard over stuff like this its just in a aww thats cute way if that makes sense or haha ha thats silly lol 


"But Dewie didn't you use to get upset over shit like this what happeend??" 

Well I won't get into the full story for obvious and privacy reasons and obviously will keep the person anonymous so please do not ask for more details or who this person is but a close friend of mine I know considers themselves a loli/shotacon and while I was uncomfortable with that for a long time I knew they were never a harm to real life minors and trust me the day I find out otherwise that they did harm irl minors or their lying to me (which I HOPE NOT) is the day they go into woodchipper (figure of speech) 

But something they saw which was full on actual csam/csem really messed them up and cause them major mental anguish and was very disturbing and traumatizing for them  thats the short simple version of the story and with how heavy it was for them and not to mention how much the incident shocked me as well and how also disgusted I was it really made me realize and put a lightbulb in my head I should of put in a long time ago 

Its not worth getting angry or upset at others for what they enjoy in fiction 
AS LONG AS IT STAYS FICTION   
If something I don't like shows up I just ignore, block and move on 
or I tell the person to not share it to me personally in dms if it makes me uncomfortable
and If they do actually harm themselves or others especially children or animals 
THEY GET THE HAMMER WACK FROM TINKATON AND OUT OF MY LIFE ASAP


The idea of anyone harming children and animals in an abusive emotionally, psychically and especially sexual way makes me feel really sad and really sick to my stomach especially since I was technically groomed as a minor myself (nothing sexual happened but romantic wise it was still extremely awkward and inappropriate and messed me up a lot thinking i could manage it but boy was I wrong...)

Honestly separating fiction from reality and really understanding the difference better its really helped me mentally not to get angry at dumb online discourse 
and helped me open up more to more fictional things and stories and helped me understand media literacy better in a way granted mainly VNS but still

 I find their art really beautiful to be honest mixing real life photos with animation is always a wonderful thing to me)
Obviously I know I don't expect everyone to have the same mindset as me on this and thats perfectly fine 

All I ask is if anything I retweet on twitter makes anyone uncomfortable or concerned is to please talk to me calmly about it or just block the artist you find uncomfortable 


Now I am aware others into loli and shota isn't always with.. innocent intentions 
I know some are in it for sexual reasons and of course some art or even in anime aren't always with innocent intentions such as this clip and this song below

(Sadly couldnt find the proper source for this art piece but I think it looks like Chino from Is This Order A Rabbit or Hiyori Shiina from Classroom Of The Elite)

(I hate that I find this song catchy as fuck though especially Bao The Whales cover on this song its a guilty pleasure song I will admit :c ) 

and I'm not gonna pretend that doesn't exist or people like that exist or things like that exist cause yeah no shit they do 
and its perfectly valid to find that uncomfortable or feel unease by that or its not your thing, its not my thing that's for sure

I personally find it problematic when anime-style artists or folks who enjoy the cute art-style are accused of being a "pedophile" simply for drawing a minor character in a cute way. This art-style can be enjoyed responsibly without the peripheral sexual overtones. To be clear, if a person has actual caused actual harm (mentally or physically) whether intentionally or unintentionally to another human being, they should absolutely one hundred percent be called out for it. But provide proof that they are actually a harmful person. Don't just lump everyone who likes anime art-styles into the same box disingenuously

although I will say some (not all but some) people in the community who call themselves lolicons/shotacons gonna be blunt I find them super annoying and cringe as fuck 
Mainly the type of right winged grifter types of people like Rev Says Desu who only seems to care about censorship when it only involves loli or is WAAAAY to defensive of it or just a huge anti woke grifting prick people like him seriously annoy and piss me right the fuck off 
and those who get SUPER defensive being like and being cunts towards people uncomfortable at the content or being rude at those being polite to them (mainly on twitter I see this behavior) those types of people annoy the shit out of me sometimes its better to just take the L and move on cause its not worth it to be honest especially on the internet 

I also want to add some people who are into it sexually could be for coping mechanism reasons when dealing with their own traumas such as sexual abuse or to deal with their own mental health issues or sometimes they see themselves as the loli/shota character as well the same as some people who are into taboo fiction in general and that I don't mind cause their just minding their business and doing their own thing especially those who are queer leftist lolicons/shotacons on bluesky I found those type to be the most chill I've chatted with sometimes to be honest  its just those cringe disrespectful annoying right wing grifter types like rev says desu on twitter I find fucking stupid... or actual sick fuck harmful pedos like thewhitebowser who belong in the deepest depths of hell for the harm he caused to a lot of people 

Also a more personal thing for me and just my own opinion but to be honest I hate the word cu*** (sorry for the censor of the word not even comfortable writing it myself to be honest....) to me its like hearing the word moist and makes me feel icky and blegh about it I know I can't stop people using it obviously but no... just no.... 

   

and now two more things that might annoy some people but I don't care lmao my opinon sorry not sorry

I REFUSE and WILL NOT watch Kodomo No Jikan mainly due to the girls wanting to do stuff with the older male teacher which is not my thing AT ALL for personal and triggering reasons for me and while the character the designs are pretty cute the story yeah no fucking thank you if I were to ever watch it 
it would be for a ha ha funee lets watch bad animu with friend for the meme kinda thing like what I did with Boku No Pico
Which speaking of

I would of prefer if the anime was just the boys being cute doing cute femboy slice of things not all the sexual shit to be honest...
NO FUCKING THANK YOU

if people wanna enjoy both series you do you I guess just keep it a million thousand feet away from me please 

So with all that out of the way 

I hope this helps makes my thoughts more clear and out of the way cause I'm gonna be honest its been eating me up for ages its the type of hyper fixation or type of hyper analyzing going on and on in my head that really got to me mentally in the grand scheme of things it really shouldn't and I should respect and understand those who don't wanna be around me because of all this 

But due to my own rejection sensitivity it does really sting and get to me a lot 

(scene from Oriemo)
I get why I really do and obviously I can't stop it
but I just wish it would stop hurting and bothering me a lot cause it really shouldn't 

Like I said in my blog about me enjoying ecchi anime and not wanting to feel shame anymore (this one here https://thelunarainbow.blogspot.com/2024/12/no-longer-feeling-shame-for-being-otaku.html ) I always fear judgement from others and anxiety is a bitch  

But its something I need to get over and let go and accept that some people will come and go and its their loss if they wanna let me go because of my interest in moe art especially lolisho art 

My interest in this stuff will always be with innocent intentions and I will respect those who rather not want to be around me because of it even if it will hurt a lot 
and its just something I need to learn is still enjoy what I enjoy and still be proud being an otaku and not let others judgements or opinions get the best of me 
I even talked to my psychologist about this and they had no worry or concerns for me enjoying the art 
I will end this blog by sharing this video that helped me understand better of lolisho art in otaku culture and why it exists especially in moe spaces and how we need to really have better discussions and clearer communications on the topic
and lets be honest its just part of the otaku culture and its not gonna go away anytime soon 
(UPDATE- 4/1/26 
I also highly suggest this thread I found by @imalunasol as well that words somethings better then I could regarding lolisho stuff and the concerns people have for it which I will link below)
its okay to criticize it or find it worrying or even problematic trust me I did too I still worry at times due to my own trust issues after cutting 2 former friends off for being inappropriate to irl minors online but still

If anyone still has any concerns or have any questions about my thoughts on certain things let me know in the comments below as I am happy to have a calm civil discussion

That is all for now

2025 Reflections

 

Well its time for another reflection on the year and what its been for me 

and man its been a rollercoaster thats for sure but overall it feels like a huge improvement and nesscary changes for me 

lets get all the icky sad angy stuff out of the way first and then we get all to all the good nice happy things lol 

Well first theres the fact I felt thrown away by someone and felt played and used by him after him pulling a 180 on supporting lgbt stuff and being asexual to back to being anti of that stuff and hating "woke" things i really felt played and used and thrown away like yesterday's garbage cause of it part of it is my fault for giving bigots a second chance but on the other hand I really hoped he got better and redeemed himself
can you believe all that happened over THIS IMAGE

Like what the actual fuck bruv well its their loss anyway cause I'm still gonna stand for what I believe and nobody gonna stop me because children who are trans and wanna be trans deserve to be themselves the way I wish I was if I figured out my gender at a young age 

its a wholesome and beautiful message 
and you see this energy below? (cw-transphobia, misgendering and inappropriate sexual talk)

WE ARE LEAVING PEOPLE LIKE THIS IN 2025 AND NEVER GIVING THEM ANY CHANCES EVER AGAIN!! 

 

I thought this person was sorry for the way they treated me but their still the same old bully they always were and it really hurt me a lot 

I felt this year because of people like this 

It left me with major trust issues and scared of getting hurt again 

At the same time it really is a reminder to never give bigots any chances or mercy and let them figure out shit on their own cause its not fucking worth it

I need to remember to stop putting my hands onto the oven like no shit its gonna burn idiot 

I'm all for people changing their ways and learning to be better people but I can't deal with it anymore and I need to stop getting myself hurt 

My social anxiety also got worse due to fear of others leaving me or cutting me off over stupid shit such as my anime interests and other things or feeling like I just took up space 

My depression was getting really bad again so it was why I got the higher dosage of meds

I also ended up on an indefinite hiatus of streaming for multiple reasons and to be honest I don't know when I feel like going back to it cause the thought of it freaks me out for multiple reasons 



Alright onto the fun stuff now :D

Now for the good stuff 

I did the hugest walk at the Dandenong Ranges with my support worker around June and while we had a chaotic time at the end and finding a way back we did and survived was very proud of myself that day my support worker and I still talk about that adventure sometimes 

Porter Robinson live and still doing the concert despite my tummy and anxiety issues I felt very proud that day and glad I still went to that amazing show 

I also went to see Green Day live in March which was very healing since the last time I went was with my ex in 2017 and it was such a great time!! 
I would always do what I can to see Green Day over and over again if I could hahahah 

Linabell being a new special comfort character in my life  and helping me during a time I felt thrown away and abandoned yeah I know its probs me just sounding like a "disney adult" cause of her being from duffy and friends but still she really helped me during a rough time for me this year and that I appreciate a lot as well as my current great amazing friends I still have in my life 

Finally figuring out about me having pmdd and getting a higher dosage of my antidepressants which has helped things a lot

I still have moments but not as bad as they use to be at the moment 

Also finally having medication for my ibs issues and learning to tone down a lot on take away and other certain foods which has really helped me a lot 

Especially during animaga and pax where I had little to no tummy issues!!! 
and had the best time checking out new games and buying amazing goodies and art 
and sometimes talking to people x3 and had the best time at the cons

(Art in the Saba Shrine by Yukomeow, cookie.teaa, twee_draws and megiibun pls check out their amazing art!! also suggest in general for local aussie artists screampuffart, littlebink and many more)

These puppets especially are amazing hahahah check out daystardebris and ghostpuppet GB their pretty awesome :3 

Finally going to the punk bar near my area called cafe gummo and while talking to new people still scares me at times I love the vibe and feeling safe there and the awesome music and events and things they have here 

and saving the most important for last 
In October this year 

I did probs the most bravest thing I ever done and was a witness in a zoom court case to help a friend go against an ex friend of ours who has harassed them and also me and others for a very long time (I am not saying names and I rather keep it that way please) 

And it was really scary knowing I would be on webcam wirh my face showing to said ex friend 

But I did to help support my friend 

And im really proud of myself for being a big adult and being very brave to stand up against a person who has caused mental abuse online to my friend and others and even myself for years 

And if said ex friend or their mother tries to contact me again

I will just learn to block and ignore everything 

My sleep schedule fucked up badly due to it and my anxiety got the best of me at times 
but I managed things really well 
it was worth it knowing I can be strong and be a big boy for once which I also had to do for another incident for another friend but irl at the police station which I am keeping private as well The anxiety I felt before the zoom call was EXTREMELY intense

But I did everything I could to handle it

Played legends za

Called beyond blue

Watched an adult swim 2004/2005 broadcast i found to stay awake 

I did everything I could

And was even stimming with a dnd dice while in the call to keep calm and keep having a resting bitch face or professional face lol 

It was the most proud and most brave and amazing I ever felt in a very long time and its a powerful strong feeling I will never forget feeling that intense strong confidence in myself and how much potenial I truly got if I believe in myself and not give up for myself and my friends I know it sounds like cliche cartoon stuff but its true in a way

I'm gonna be 30 tomrrow and while my 20s was an intense rollercoaster of figuring out myself and my emotions and whats good for me in my life or not 

I still have somedays where I feel still feel a lot of remorse and regrets

But I hope when the time comes when my life is over and im on my deathbed I hope at least I know I lived a happy life and made fun great memories

And pls archive my brain and characters just not as ai slop lmao

I'll talk about the more deeper stuff just then in another blog for another time XD

Overall

2025 was the year of hibernating and figuring out my shit mentally 

And slowly figuring out my boundaries and the right people in my life and becoming stronger and better as a person 

I don't really have much goals for 2026 currently other then hopefully legally changing my gender on my birth certficate to trans male/non-binary at this time 

but all I know is I hope 2026 and the rest of my life from now still has beautiful amazing happy times I am happy I am alive and breathing currently for 

and enjoying the little things in my life that make me happy 
such as adorable cute moe art and cute art from australia and other places too

(Art and VN by モノコード yuyumatsu, Shiono Room and Panmimi Soft aka Pan )

Enjoying yummy safe food lunches at places like Fork n Path and Tylers Milk Bar 

Still enjoying gaming or reading vns at times now on the MSI claw especially 

and despite being 30 tomrrow I'll always be a silly koala in the gumtrees
