No, but I believe people who watch loli are pedophiles since it's explicitly child characters. Hentai, in my opinion, is degenerate, but not inherently pedophilic on its own.

I think there are absolutely problematic links between anime content and pedophilic attitudes. The sexualization of minors in some anime fosters unhealthy desires.

I disagree. Just because some anime contains suggestive material does not mean it promotes pedophilia. Animation does not equal reality.

The prevalence of young girl characters in sexually explicit situations normalizes it and fuels deviant interest. It's dangerous.

Most anime fans clearly distinguish fiction from reality though. Attributing criminal intent to them is a stretch.

The content itself reinforces desires towards minors and adult-child dynamics get portrayed as permissible when they are not.

Anime viewers are not criminals, policing fiction crosses a line into restricting free expression.

Free speech has limits, child sexualization contributes to harm. Most anime may be innocent but regulators should still address the worst
