Different anon, but not really.
If anything, loli-esque art is probably a safe 'bleed-off' option for people with pedophilic ideations.
Drawings of cartoon characters are not people, your waifu is not real, and while jacking off to loli porn (or guro porn, or whatever weird fetish porn art you choose) is fucking disgusting, it's not hurting anyone save anon's mother's eyes when she sees his search history.
When however you chase that kind of thing down too hard however, that's when you push people outside of normal social circles, and into niche ones made up of similar outcasts.
That's where you get conventionally unacceptable social behaviors normalized, which in pedo circles means child porn rings and genuine acts of pedophilia.
And those populations will always exist. No one wants to be a pedophile, or a homosexual, or a transexual, or badly nearsighted. But like it or not, not everyone is born correctly, and a remarkably amount of people in the world need glasses.
