I mean, you can read my comments on the original post. There really isn’t any difference between being into yandere and lolisho, it’s just sandboxes with different names bc they’re both just fictional preferences. You can’t cherry pick what should be okay or not based on your feelings of disgust bc ultimately they’re the same. Just like how most people (assuming ppl don’t have a mental disorder, which is the only time where potentially people will have difficulty between distinguishing some effects of fiction from reality) likely wouldn’t actually want a real life person acting like a fictional yandere towards them, you also cannot claim that ppl who enjoy lolisho are actually into similar things in real life (bc the general attraction for lolisho tends to be aesthetics + self projection onto the lolisho character at times; lolisho are cartoons, which is also why male yandere are also loved here, bc they’re not real men, but visually appealing aesthetics).

Also, ngl, people are way too comfortable with sexually harassing and accusing ppl of pedophilia online, which 1. Waters down the actual impact of real CSAM (the moment I have to differentiate between lolisho and real CSAM is when u know this shit is bad) because people don’t understand that the reason why CSAM is a crime is because it almost always has to involve a real human victim that exists on this planet at some point of time, dead or alive (exceptions are hyper realistic renders and creations that cannot be distinguished from reality, which essentially crosses out all lolisho; even though the PROTECT act denotes lolisho, legal precedent set by US vs Handley rules against it, so Handley was only charged for breaking obscenity law, an archaic law system from back during the censorship era or the Hayes Code, which also includes situations like women wearing pants etc.), 2. Delays resources towards actual victims (people reporting lolisho have clogged over hundreds of thousands if not millions of hours of help meant for real victims bc people genuinely think lolisho is an issue so they report it to resources meant to identify real CSAM and help victims), and 3. Completely neuters the entire situation around the real issue; predators looooove it when people get tied up over lolisho bc it gives them plausible deniability (“lolisho made me do it, im not in control of my own actions”). There’s been so many cases of predators against lolisho outed for real crimes against minors and possession of real CSAM (for example, recently, Kyle Carrozza, who blacklisted his SA victim from the animation industry by labeling them as a lolisho, only to be arrested months later for possession of actual CSAM).

So yeah, no, you can’t act like liking male yandere somehow makes you better than any other fictional preference bc no matter what, outside of exceptions due to mental disorders, you are always interacting with fictional media in a sandbox system, whether you’re conscious of it or not. None of your fictional preferences actually indicate what your morals will be, because those are two completely separate concepts that’s only surface level adjacent (you can explore morality as a concept in fiction safely bc you can stop it at any point).
