I never knew drawing pedoporn was such an exacting process.

LOL! I'm a little curious to see how the images differ after that short debate.

It's an interest article, not a news article.

And wow, how to unpack that tweet? I'm almost a little morbidly curious of how they define the difference between an 8 and 9-year old.

And I don't know, something about using the phrase "fine-tuning" here just makes my skin crawl a bit...

There is a fine line between lolicon and toddlercon, after all.

Even if you`re into children or drawn children, guess there are limits to what they prefer. The magazine covers are good though.

I would be very interested in seeing a survey of readers, and see how many actually care about exact age?

I would be very surprised if the majority of readers cared.

Even pedos have standards I guess. Either 8 or 9 is still way, way, way, way, way too young to be considered in such a way. Either way you would face more severe punishment than doing the same thing with say a 14 year old. Although as long as their pursuit is limited to magazines, I guess it's better than molestation but still really disgusting. Rather, I could not fathom finding such things appealing, though I imagine it's not something they chose. Ultimately, they aren't monsters, just people who need help before they hurt someone.

Most of the appeal is the cuteness, not the age itself.
Real kids usually aren't as cute.
Basically the same for hentai vs real porn.

Considering it's an erotic magazine, I think they are finding the kids the wrong kind of cute, as in the way a teenager would refer to someone of their preferred gender they liked, especially in a physical way. If you find small children cute, that's fine. Fairly normal in fact. If you want to look at pictures of cute kids, that's fine, if a bit weird depending on the amount and intensity. Where it becomes unfathomable is when those kids are naked or in sexual situations, as they would in an erotic magazine.

Whether it's sexual or not doesn't matter to what I said, the appeal is still mostly the cuteness, not the age.
Just like a character could be 20 but if they look like they are 9 it works too.
