"oh no, people are calling me a pedophile for liking lolis" As they should. Lolis are why I hate most anime because I know they're catering to the weirdos that buy their products. The whole "It's ok guys! This character is 1000 years old but looks like a child" is always and will always be sus.

So just because someone likes something, it has to be for a sexual reason. Alright. I'm not saying there's no one who's like that, but it certainly isn't everyone.

There are irl women who look like lolis do, should one be called a pedophile for being attracted to them?

Loli =/= child

(I don't care for Loli myself but let's not label people an extreme thing off of 0 evidence)

If the reason someone is attracted to a woman is because that woman looks like a child, then yes. If someone thinks the childlike woman is attractive for other qualities, then the woman is coincidentally childlike in that relationship. In the previous example, a relationship only occurs because she looks like a child. That is bad.

There's a subtle difference between starting a relationship because someone looks like a child and starting a relationship despite her looking like a child.

There really isn't, just reads like you are one of those that call preferences "fetish", I'm allowed to not find skinny people attractive.

Google "loli" and tell me that's something you're okay with full-grown adults being attracted to and that it's a "preference."
