tl:dr - I’m not defending his cheating, that’s terrible. But liking to write about and even being attracted to FICTIONAL underage characters is NOT pedophilia.

Now here’s my two-cents (intentional misspelling for morons who are going to comment on this) on one of my close + https://twitter.com/luminous_twins/status/1309581167625080833
friends on here and the drama that’s surrounding him.

I first want to say that I knew him a lot better than a lot of people on here, excluding Mini of course. We used to talk everyday before we sort of... drifted apart.

Second of all, I’m not condoning how he cheated on his +
Partner at all. My stance on cheating is the same. If you made the choice to cheat, you have serious issues.

Now, onto the meat of my two-cents.

Yes, I was aware that he was into loli/underage characters. And guess what? I was fine with it! Nothing he said made me +
Question whether or not actual children were in danger because of him. It was only a taboo kink that he enjoyed writing about and looking at pictures of. Furthermore, all of the screenshots shown were of him talking/writing about fictional underage characters. Emphasis on +
FICTIONAL here. And let’s remember the entire reason pedophilia is illegal and morally wrong is because children cannot consent and are most often exploited by pedos. Fictional characters can’t consent, they’re not real. They don’t have rights. They don’t exist, period.

+
My opinion on loli/shota/underage characters used to be the same as the people who were attacking him. But through a series of talks with a good friend who shall remain nameless (you know who you are if you read this) due to the toxicity that this kind of shit breeds, they +
changed my mind on the subject by informing me of this one simple fact:

Law enforcement doesn’t care about lewd art of loli/shota/underage characters. It’s not used as evidence for pedophile cases because no study has linked this art with actual pedophilic ideation. +
In fact, law enforcement agencies receive a substantial amount of reports about someone possessing said art, which takes resources away from ACTUAL cases of pedophiles harming children IN REAL LIFE.

So to conclude, my friend isn’t a pedophile liking that stuff since +
He has never expressed any intention or desire to harm ACTUAL REAL children and there is no proof to conclude that his kink will lead to actual pedophilic ideation or action.

You can have whatever opinion you want on someone enjoying lewd loli/shota/underage character +
Content, but for fuck’s sake, don’t call him a pedophile. A pedophile is someone who is attracted to REAL children in REAL LIFE. That’s obviously not my friend.

As you can see, he stated that he was going to commit suicide. And let me tell you, he’s serious. He struggles +
With severe depression and anxiety. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to comfort him when he was feeling especially down.

Knowing him, the accusations of being a pedophile most likely got to him the most. So I ask you, how does it feel? To know that you directly +
may have contributed to a man’s death just because of the fact that his kink made you uncomfortable? You are pathetic, especially the ones that mocked him with memes that didn’t apply to him in the slightest. I don’t have any respect from you. If you think he’s a pedophile, +
Fucking block me because you clearly don’t have a good grip of reality. And frankly, I don’t need you to pollute my TL with your filth.

But to those that are open-minded, please delete those posts bullying him for something he isn’t. If you think less of him, +
That’s your prerogative. But for the sake of all things good in this world, don’t call him a pedophile, because it’s simply not true. Do your research if you still aren’t convinced.

And again, I don’t condone his cheating in the slightest. I agree with him that he does have +
Issues and he needs help. But not for being attracted to drawings online.

I hope he comes out of this a better man. And I hope to God he hasn’t done what he said he was going to do in his last tweet. I’m not religious, but I’ll be praying for him tonight. I love you, brother. +
Hang in there. 🙏
