when loli art first boomed in Japan and got published in magazines that also featured underage gravure photography they had people writing in complaining about the photographs, saying they had a '2D complex'.

Lolicon is as close to getting off to real kids as guro is to getting off to snuff porn.

Lolicon-as-coping-mechanism is best discussed as an edge case, for most it is basically on the opposite end of the spectrum to pedophilia, closer to a form of age play. The best praxis is generally to distinguish it from pedophilia wherever possible because pedophilia is understandably demonized.

Moderation of a website is not the law. Lolicon is only illegal in very specific places.
The problem is that Internet moderation in a lot of big websites is handled by people who are ignorant

ウェブサイトの節度は法律ではない。ロリコンが違法なのは、ごく特定の場所だけだ。
問題なのは、多くの大きなウェブサイトにおけるインターネットのモデレーションが、無知な人々によって処理されていることだ
