Loli/Shota Concerns

Postby SecretsAreCool » Sat Sep 04, 2021 8:15 am

So this is going to be so out there, so I apologize in advance for the length/if any of it makes sense.

I won't go into excruciating details, but I found myself "wound up" in the "loli/shota" community online, which, if you don't know, depicts pornographic images of fictional characters under 18. I really want to leave, it always makes me uncomfortable, but it's hard to do, and I don't know how. They keep telling me how it's ok because it's "not real kids" and "helps them not do stuff to real kids while they gather the money to go to therapy" and "it's just like how you play GTA to get rid of your violent urges".

I am just so confused and really need help "kicking the bucket" as it were. I just don't know how to get out and convince myself it's wrong. Does this make me a bad person? Am I a pedophile? I'm not attracted to real kids in any way, romantically, sexually, hell, I don't even want kids.

It's quite simple... YOU CHOOSE to stop going on the sites. There is no compulsion to do it other than in your own mind. When people still want to do something they try and argue "I'm addicted, I can't help it". This is justification because if I told them the next time you click 'enter' you would die or be exposed, they wouldn't do it all of a sudden.
