My Clear Stance On LoliSho Stuff and Moe Style Art

 

(Art by  @usagicandy_taku )

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 cuddles 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 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)

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




Honestly 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 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
what I don't like personally is people throwing words like pedo around online like confetti without actual proof of said labels on artists or enjoyers harming real life minors if they have caused harm to others then yes call them out but find proof of it before doing so (especially those like thewhitebowser sick fucks like that they need to rot in the deepest depth of hell)

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 

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 
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
