NEWS: Tourist Jailed in New Zealand for Child Abuse 'Manga' Images

Pedophilia is no different in classification as homosexuality.

I'm out are you with me??

Being a lolicon has nothing to do with the age of the character in question, it's purely a body style. Nothing more. I'm insanely positive that if a poll was taken on a lolicon's attraction to real kids, you would find very little correlation.

Under US Law, a Pedophile is some one sexually attracted to a child.

There's not enough information to classify Hadley as a Pedophile.

Laws like this are generally passed in silence and people that report legislation disregard it since "animated child pornography" has no meaning to the public eye since most people likely don't even know it exists.

And in case anyone does care, I am a lolicon. I do not find real children attractive.

...just illustrates what he was talking about:

not all pedophiles are child molesters and not all child molesters are pedophiles

So just what is a child molester, if not a paedo? Non slang please.

A) Most rapes aren't sexually motivated - why are you so sure there's no bleed through to the sort of vile human that would rape a child? B) You're completely ignoring the more important point.

Nice way to circumvent my question, but as now I also tack on another request for explanation of which rapes are and are not sexually motivated in your opinion, I'd still like some coherent reply please.

You're conflating being a fan of loli characters with those who are fans of lolicon.

These are not the same thing. Lolicon is very aptly defined as a sexual attraction to loli characters. The word is derived from the book/movie Lolita, which I'm sure most people are familiar with.

Even if we were to survey those who are fans of lolicon, I seriously doubt most would answer honestly of being a pedophile because of the stigma that's attached to it.

There is no law regarding pedophilia, at least in the US. Pedophilia is nothing more than a classification assigned to patients under psychological care and is used internally. At current, it is not considered a medical diagnosis, indicating it's not something that can be treated. In fact, most cases of pedophilia are assigned CPT codes (for billing) that are no different than schizophrenia, bipolar, and any other psychological disorder.

Which is why I said "most likely". Keep in mind: I'm with firm belief those who are into lolicon are pedophiles. To me, you can not separate the sexual attraction equation from the issue.

It doesn't matter if these lolicons are into real children or not. Pedophilia and lolicon are synonymous with me.

Cut the head off the loli character and tell me if the bodies are different.

One final cautionary statement: for those into lolicon trying to defend the definition, it's important to realize that I'm one to believe such arguments would be futile when there are adult women with the same body type which can serve the "need", so to speak.

If the body type is the claim here, it's going to be very tough to convince me that the character has to be underage to achieve it.

This excuses the law's passing.

It does not excuse why the law's still on the books when it's made public.

Yet you don't admit to being a pedophile.

Doesn't matter because I know most people aren't going to openly admit to being a pedophile.

However, you need to be aware by admitting you're a lolicon, to many around here, you are also admitting to being a pedophile and will be treated accordingly.

I'm not saying that there's a law against pedophilia, just how it's legally defined.

This is still going on?

You want a definition stated so badly you won't infer it? Okay: the term "child molester" to me refers to someone who molests children(shocking, I know) and has nothing to do with why they did it(and since the vast majority of rapes aren't sexually motivated(as far as I know, there's no serious dispute on this point), it stands to reason that a great deal of those who target children are less interested in the age of the victim and more concerned with their helplessness).
