lolicon is actually illegal in most of the west, from california to estonia. the laws against "depictions of minors in sexual situations" does not have a get-out clause for the special and unique "culture" of japan (even the people there find this shit weird, what a bizarre cope)

the only thing saving these people is that no law enforcement agency gives a shit because they're understaffed on the child porn front (it's a very psychologically demanding department to work in, and most pigs don't join the force to do hard work like that)

these laws do get enforced, however, when one of these mentally stable lolicon enjoyers order a doujinshi and someone bored at customs takes a look inside the package and notice it's full of child fucking
