Ah yes, those people are totally start going out and fucking as much as possible. It’s not like that is a symptom of a more general social issue, that has been getting worse way before LLMs were popular. And it is also not that people will develop relationships with all sorts of inanimate objects and concepts to cope with reality. The problem was just the AI guys, yay pat yourself in the back

“Missing the point” is very hard to falsify because it is too subjective, so I won’t touch that. I think you expected the paper to be empirical, which is not the case, it is an analytical piece.
Referring to your concern, the paper cites research by Takatsuki Yasushi, mentioning that sexual abuse of minors in Japan was statistically much more common during the 1960s and 1970s and has been decreasing since that period, a trend that roughly coincides with the increasing prevalence of fictional lolicon. Two things to notice: One is that this is an old paper so it could be that things changed more recently. Another one is that this doesn’t mean lolicon inhibts CSA, it just means that it isn’t a predictor to it, which is justified by the depictions having nothing to do with real children.

I never said that a pedophile was a child rapist and I know there is a difference. My point with the analogy is to point out that the depictions of the “shoujo” in lolicon are not representative of actual children (as pointed out in the paper).
The comparison with violent video games was to show that the representation of something like a “battlefield” in a video game is really not close to actual warfare, that even applies to these historically “accurate” video games.
Also, regarding your last point, the paper that I mention also cites a reduction is CSA during times where lolicon was more prevalent.

It is difficult to have this discussion because not many really want to actually think about it but I’ll do it anyway.
I guess the main concern is about how this sort of content could coerce people to attempt their fantasies in real life. However, the subject for a lolicon is a symbol and the subject for a pedophile is an actual individual. To say that lolicons are pedophiles is equivalent to say that gamers who play violent games blowing up buildings or slashing people into a million pieces are terrorists. “Cest une pipe”.
What we know is that there is no direct implication between consuming this content and engaging in criminal activity. People have different minds and respond to things in different ways, lolicon is not a predictor of pedophilia. Also, the Catharsis hypothesis, the one where people say engaging on it would keep someone from committing a related crime doesn’t seem to be true either.
This one is a an oldie, but it is a nice overview about this topic if you want to get some context:

I think the most important point of this paper is that the shoujo depicted in such content no longer corresponds to an actual real depiction of the prepubescent and are no more than fantasy.

Ecofascism, as far as I know, is when you use an extremist authoritarian enforcement of racist beliefs under the pretext of environmentalism, which is not what I claimed. I am not particularly targeting a specific group of people but humanity as a whole and I do not enforce my beliefs unto others at all really. Antinatalism is an existential problem, not a political one.

- Comment on German taxpayers bled dry: Mass migration cost €40 billion in 2025 3 months ago:
Notice that the statistics you quoted in the news articles do not specifically filter for these “boat people” you speak of.
I also would like to bring to your attention that saying “most crimes are committed by ‘boat people’” is not the same as “‘most boat people’ commit crimes”. For example, even if 100% of all crimes in germany were committed by them, it could still mean that it is done so by 1% of them.
Don’t you think it is absurd that the chances of someone commiting a crime is simply explained by them being from outside? Have you met these people personally?
- Comment on German taxpayers bled dry: Mass migration cost €40 billion in 2025 3 months ago:
I am one of “them” and have been working and paying my taxes just fine. Your articles seem to refer to this “migration background”, which sounds like a convenient way to lie with statistics. It seems to also account for people who were born in Germany and had parents from abroad.
From the experience of my peers who are also migrants, they struggle to get jobs due to companies setting unrealistic german language standards, often on purpose, to avoid actually hiring them. The xenophobia is silent, but it is there.
Scapegoating your countries problems on immigrants while it relies on them to function is a stupid idea.

Try using GrayJay or some other frontend to avoid restrictions. The more resistance, the more clear it becomes that the people don’t want this until politicians are forced to compromise (if they don’t want to get hanged)
