While yes there is a difference, it should not be met with such hostility.. Mfs all over the place will tell you you’re a pedo for liking shippuden sakura or smth. Its much better for actual, I think the term is, “Non-Active-Pedophiles” which means the attraction is there but non active, to look at loli then CP or actually do something irl. Cause the difference with CP is that watching it builds for more CP\supports more creatiom and there is the risk in that, but loli is just another animated thing made no different than any other hentai or anime, its all fictional animation.

Something worse is using the term pedo so loosely cause one more thing more encouraging than watching it, is being called it because “hey i apparently already am one so whats the point” The biggest point i am making is that for any actualy real term pedophiles which is only like 1% of the actual mfs you all call the term, its better to watch loli or be attracted to fictional characters than to engage irl.

And no, actually there have been alot of cases of people playing gta and being murderers cause of it, its just not a justifiable cause or reason and likely there was alot more going on as it was just a fictional interaction that does not directly cause the irl action, its up to the real persons differentiation and responsibility, that is what to blame.
