You genuinely seem confused about it, which is curious because I thought everybody putting both in the same basket were set out to stain lolicon with the stigma of child pornography.
Seeing it can be just an interpretation mistake, it brightens my day.
The fact is, they aren't the same thing for a few reasons.
First, because child porn involves real children involved. Now, the damage caused to them varies a lot depending on what you call "child porn" - for example, there are russian child model agencies that make slightly-sexualized non-nude photoshoots where probably the "children" involved were just making some easy cash with the parent's consent. But in other cases it can be
real exploitation of children, which is bad and shouldn't ever happen. Loli material, on the other hand, <<
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Treachery_of_Images|does not involve real children>>. This means that while child porn might mean exploitation of children, loli material wouldn't.
Second, because the interest in both might not be correlated. You might get aroused and fap to an image of loli guro even if you would be completely
disgusted by seeing it in real life and be entirely against the act. Child porn involves moral issues, but lolis are images, and morals do not apply. You don't have to be a sick criminal to play GTA
and like it.
Thirdly, heck, some lolicons probably find real-life children a turn-off, because of how annoying they are. Lolis are an idealized version of a mix of cuteness and sexyness, and some times other things like badassness. You can make it wonderful, and everything is allowed because the limits are your imagination's. It's fantasy.
Lastly, as Mindwipe said, equating both trivializes child porn. Probably not all child porn is rape, as the hormones are ready much earlier than at 18, but in the cases where it
is rape, it's wrong. This sort of thinking leads organizations like UNICEF to <<
www.sankakucomplex.com/20...li-is-a-dangerous-weapon/|protecting 2D imaginary children instead of doing their actual job>> (nevermind police arresting innocent people).
Actually, this even leads to a worse point: hampering freedom of expression and arresting innocents, potentially even using such a thought crime at police's discretion (like "piracy", and related bullshit crimes).

It isn't corrupted here... even with clean cache o_O
Does it happen to anyone else?
