Some people seem to think that unless they are sexually attracted to actual living, breathing children, they do not count as pedophiles. They are wrong. Dictionaries, encyclopediae and the DSM say nothing about children having to be real.
Now, one could argue that "lolicon pics are not children, they're drawings!" and that, "for instance if you took some clay and shaped it to look like a hotdog it wouldn't be a hotdog, it'd still be clay!" but not only is that stating the obvious, it's also missing the point; drawings, sculptures, paintings and so on depict things -- in the case of lolicon hentai, little girls -- and it is these things that we respond to when we look at them. For example, if you're a guy and you become aroused when you see hentai pics of Tifa from FF7 but not of, say, Cloud, it's because you are straight. Likewise, if you get turned on by hentai pics of Sakura from CCS, you're a pedophile.
Remember, these characters may not be real people, but they are people nonetheless in the context of the stories in which they appear.
To insist that you're not a pedophile if you fantasize about having sex with characters like Sakura would be like saying, "Man, I'd like to get fucked up the ass by Goku from DBZ. But I'm straight! Seriously!" It's bullshit, and you know it.
Thank you and goodnight.
