[KMS] [1.2.132] New Opening Video

Your conclusion ("even if absolutely no harm ever comes from it?") is an assumed conclusion. No one can know if children are harmed by this particular instance of booty swaying in the video, so I find it strange that you claim it doesn't. The issue is not harm here.

The heart of this issue are the following two questions: "Does this video portray the sexualization of children?" and "is there a link between the sexualization of children in media and pedophilia?". Try answering these questions and I think you'll get closer to fighting Sarah's argument rationally rather than assuming her self-righteousness.

I'm trying to look at it from an outside point of view, because it truly is two entirely different things, to me. 2D =/= 3D, no matter the material.

My one and only question is, why do people even care? At this point, I don't even see anything sexual about real children at all, I'm more emotionally attracted to them because of their refreshingly "nice" attitudes as opposed to the toxic attitudes many adults have. If someone molests a child, they were almost certainly going to do it anyway, and they are simply being called pedophiles because it is a shorter term even if it has no relevance to them. That begs the question of, is it simply ignorance of the facts, or do people, having all facts on the issue, still make a big deal about nothing? Seriously, I'm just trying to figure out why it even matters to people, seems like yet another needless stressor in life. Not everyone is like me in my situation, I'm sure, but there is still no reason to project one or two extreme cases that very likely shouldn't even be taken as examples onto others, right?

I live in a society that persecutes consensual sexual relationships between adults of the same sex, and people who even think about having consensual sexual relationships with people of the same sex.

Not exactly the best way to start an argument, but nevertheless.

Children (especially prepubescent ones) are not sexual objects. They are extremely emotionally vulnerable

Quite correct. The only problem I am seeing is that you are extrapolating matters from "oh hey thats a cute kid" to "I must violate them" automatically, which is generally a bad way to view anything. In reality, a pedophile is someone attracted to the innocence of a child, and any sexual activity whatsoever with a child would be counterproductive to their "cuteness", so to be honest, that is really why I feel that people who think pedophiles have sex with children are simply ignorant of the reality of the situation.
