There are a lot of people out there carrying a torch for Mimi Yanagi right now. I'm not. I hope they go back to jail and rot there forever. I've seen this pattern before. He (no, I'm not even going to bother pretending this isn't a biological male) is pity-baiting after being caught with such disturbingly explicit material that the police and courts got involved. Idiots who have done zero research or looked at any of his content are now blindly defending him because 'MUH CENSORSHIP'. Meanwhile, various posts are already being made exposing some of the utterly depraved, viscerally revolting stuff this man was actually into. I predict these will lead to revelations that they are, in fact, someone who likes children IRL and is using loli content as a deflection. We have seen this happen time and time again. It is time that people accepted that lolicons being into real children is as bad a problem as furries secretly being into the same thing. I am sick and tired of the anime community pretending loli is wholesome and sweet when it is constantly used as a shield by predators to get away from criticism. What infuriates me is the blatant double standard on display, especially by the more right-leaning and libertarian anime fandom. These people will casually say things like 'oh a trans person wants access to kids? Of course they're going to groom them!', but the MOMENT you imply that a lolicon who draws art of their character having sex with animals and sucking pacifiers might actually be into real children, that same fanbase becomes a howling mob outside your door screaming 'ARTISTIC FREEDOM' and 'DRAWINGS AREN'T REAL PEOPLE'. I no longer have any clemency for these people.
