I dunno if you would consider this "good" advertisement, because this basically re-enforces the sterotype of all lolicon hobbist = pedos, which is for the most part (hopefully) not true.

If it was adult woman size, then it wouldn't be a problem...but a small child......... Confused

[sarcasm]But it's perfectly healthy and normal for an adult manga reader to want a pair of little girls underwear. Anyone who thinks this is in anyway perverted must be a communist who just wants to ruin manga.[\sarcasm]

They are doing nothing else than blatantly encouraging pedophilia.
That's just the saddest news I heard in a long time...

Considering who their target readers are, I am not surprised.

I'm all for whatever two-dimensional fetishes people may have, but when the fetish extends to three-dimensional, that's when things get a little dangerous and people start confusing fantasies with real life...

By definition actually, they are much closer than most people think.

By definition, a pedophile is a person who is sexually attracted to prepubescent or early pubescent children. You don't have to actually partake in the act of having sex with / sexually abusing children to be a pedophile.

Proper useage of the term changes two aspects. First, it expands to include people with said attraction towards addolescents, and contracts to only include those that partake in activities related to pedophilia, ie: buying child-porn and having sex with children.

Ephebophile, is the proper term for those who are attracted to adolescents.

Lolicon refers to both pedophililia an ephebophilia.

Let's look on the bright side of this one...at least it's better for this their readers to get pre-schooler panties from a magazine than to get them by kidnapping, coercion, or any other means that involve actual pre-school girls.

I fantasise in 3 dimensions, surely you do as well? I can't really see the harm in giving away new panties, if they were used then that would be something altogether more sinister...

So what happens when they want to make it into a collection? Do they buy another manga, or do they just skip that step?

I personally think this is pushing it a little, though I've always though that genre was for Perv's in the first place. >.>
