Gah! Thats wrong! When i last went to Akihabara, we went in Lammtarra and it was all fun and games til we saw a video on display that you could buy - it involved small girls innocently being tickled. It was being sold amongst piles and piles of xxx stuff 0_0 I hope they pass some kind of law for this kinda thing soon....
Japanese TV report regarding lolicon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLrO0am5j54
I could accept if they sell it from 15-16 year old, but 5 or 8 is just too much. I think extreme loli should be kept in 2D, and not with real children. Might be a good think to lure in and catch real pedophiles.
That really is so wrong. I'm actually lost for words...its just...wrong. I can't udnerstand for the life of me, why would anyone want to look at stuff like that? Well if they do, they need their heads looking at.
What's wrong about it? Who's getting hurt? Why is it wrong? Because they're young? They don't know what's happening? So what? You might know, but it doesn't affect you so SHOVE OFF! Let other people make their own decisions, they don't involve you anyway.
don't see anthing wrong about it... young models, they'll have a big career. it looks cute, doesnt it?
This is shameful!! Some really don't have morals. I already didn't like the principles of lolicon, but I would tolerate it at worst. Here it goes way too far. I certainly hope that that kind of underground network gets dismantled and fast. Who knows what would happen... This can't go without a suitable punishment for those who are responsible for that!
Something like that it's just sad in my opinion! But hey, if they want to do it...
@Kite_DH, so you wouldn't object if your kid would be concerned by it? Wow, I do admire you not fearing issues of paedophilia and such. Now, I don't know if that was sarcasm from your part or not, but this is surely not the kind of subject you should have a laugh to. This world is already a complete mess and no one should deny that.
WTF??? This could be considered pedo..... I like lolis and loli-con but in the fantasy world of anime and manga, not in real life. When I'm with a 5 year old or a 9 year or whatever her age is I tend to be the big brother (onii-chan), this is just very wrong

Arguing about ethical issues is pointless. Living creatures can get used to anything in their enviroment.
5 Years a bit too young but those 8 and 9 year olds? Moe moe.
Again, you're just posting YOUR opinion. It's totally meaningless.
Uggghhh, not something I'm into. It's ok to see in anime/manga if it doesn't go too far, but real life is sick. That's my opinion.
Me myself I dont mind a bit of lolicon but in this situation where gurls as young as 5y/o are in bikinis??????? that is just wrong... I am to understand that lolicon takes quite a sizeable piece of the pie in japanese culture, as most japanese ladies are pretty petite (which makes them extremely cute) but itleast they are legal or at least most of them are or at least the ones that I know of are *wink wink* ^_^' I am not totally against child modelling, the market will always have a place for kids who want to model but pushing them to the point where they have to ewar bikinis & flaunt their cute looks is in a way crossing the line. I dont think the parents fully understand whats going on

Please remove this stuff from your website, it is actually very illegal and should not be posted there. "Loli" is gross!

These have never really struck me as surprising considering that child pornography was legal in Japan less than 10 years ago. Well, I guess it doesn't help that we do it in the States, too.
I´m not the type that loves the anime lolis, but i can acept that, In other war real life lolis are too much sicks even comparing with the yakuzas
glad you talk about that Danny, cause i heard of that a few weeks ago and went crazy. It's really a big problem in japan and nobody cares/dares to talk about it I'd throw them weirdos buyers to the yakusa just to see which part of their bodies they'd slice first...
pure sick.
Just thinking and talking about something like this makes me feel sick. It need to be talked about, since it is the only way society can defeat it. Throw them to Yakuza I say!

Who are the parents, and how could they exploit their children like that? Are things like this been looked down upon by general public? If not, how come?
This is by no means limited to japanese society
I guess that as long as they aren't hurt in any way, it's fine. Altough... yeah, it's kinda spooky x_X!
Yikes. I like my loli but only in the realm of animedom. This is wrong on so many levels. Keep it in the anime world, I say!
mafia, not that i like loli, which i don't in any form. people have their "thing" i guess.
loli in anime is fine and i even like it but loli in real-life is sick... some people have weird fetishes
Disturbing indeed. That's why I'm not a fan of lolis. o_O
sick+perv=jail
きもいですね!
is disturbing...
they are who they are can really judge but im an american we dont see sexual things in any good light its all taboo thats there thing its better a picture then a really child. the loli thing was cool tell i found out the true meaning i like the figures that have that innocent over the top anime look but thats it no nakedness those can stay at store for someone else
Whats crazy about the Lolita magazines is that they are available EVERYWHERE in Japan, such as RIGHT NEXT to a Kindergarden, in one one case at least (Kichijoji, Tokyo). Another thing seems to be that the majority of Japanese women have NO IDEA publications like this even exsist. Whoever left the comment: "Throw them to Yakuza I say!" That makes no sense. Why would the Yakuza beat up their own customers?!? The Yakuza are heavily involved in the Japanese pornography / Lolita / Gravia DVD industry. My guess is that some people here have purchased an A.V. at one point or another - consider it a guarantee that a percentage of that cash went STRAIGHT to a Yakuza group. Thats just how Japan is, you have to get used to it....
yah thats messed, just plain wrong. you should seriously get a lobotomy if you like that stuff...
To answer this question: "Who are the parents, and how could they exploit their children like that? Are things like this been looked down upon by general public? If not, how come?" The parents are just normal Japanese people who have a pretty daughter, that they are trying to get her into modeling, TV commercials etc. The vague thing about the said publications - is that they are "Innocent" photographs. The STRANGE and WRONG thing about these magazines , such as "CREAM" (really), is that very young looking 18-year-old models posing NAKED are mixed up with the pictures of the 11, 12, 13 year-olds stting aroung in Bikinis. The other thing to keep in mind when thinking about this subject is remembering that there is NO traditional Sexual "Morality" in Japan. Sex is viewed as functional (making babies) or as fun (having sex). But it is never considered "bad". Japan and Japanese people do NOT adhere to what I call the "Judeo-Christian" moral code. THe christianity rate in Japan is 0.01%. The Lolita thing is stupid to me personaly , as girls in Japan ages 18-29 all look about 18 anyway.
Ah man, thats sick! I can't believe people buy crap like this. I'm at a loss for words.
Sick man, just plain sick...

I am very surprise to read here some peoples saying they like this in anime world but not in real life... Have you consider that Anime-world is a fantasy? If your fantasy is to watch very very young girls doing "things", subjective or not, even in manga or cartoons... I mean... What can I say...Get yourself an appointment to the shrink? It's still time... Danny: What do you think as an "Otaku"? Anime loli stuff is morally right or wrong?
I'm stunned that the Japanese government allows this to go on. They should draft legislation (or enforce it if such legislation already exists) that will protect the rights of these childeren and stop them from being exploited.
Yeah, because obviously it has such a tragic and dire effect on everyone's lives, doesn't it?
This is just wrong.. nuff said.
Marcel, keep in mind that unlike real children, drawn lolis tend to have body proportions attributable to mid/post-pubescence. For example, if you look at the screenshots in the most recent Sky Girls post, you'll see that the loli characters still have older characteristics such as wide hips, long legs, and sleek faces. Such characters are basically impossible fantasy creatures like elves, which leads me to believe that most fans of drawn loli are closer to xenophiles or ephebophiles, instead of pedophiles as so often assumed.

knew bout these quite awhile back. after reading the comments i still can't see what's the fuss' all about these videos. unlike actual child pornography, no one actually got hurt from these videos. i mean, if lolis in 2d form's an acceptable thing this should be as well, after all these videos exist only cater to just another form of (sexual) deviancy just like the tons of deviant oriented material out there.
i really like a lot about japan and japanese culture except that kind of sick and disgusting pedo-bear stuff. This really worries me about japan...
But the kid is only 5 (or 9 in the other video). Yeah nobody is hurt, but if this item has a huge success, think about the next step. Pfuui :( I recently watched a report about lolicons, I don't remeber where (maybe here) where there was a girl aged 12 (I think) and her father was her producer, manager and photographer. How sick you have to expolited your daughter like this?
ロ・リ・イ・タ 僕はロリコン! ロ・リ・イ・タ 僕はあぶないお兄さん
Literally trandslated "Lolita! I'm a lolicon Lolita!" Could be "I'm a dangerous big brother" or "the forbidden fruits" or something, I forget
Yeah, this is one of those scary things, especially in this Christian-ized yet ironically sexualized world. Decades ago, even the 1940 or 50s, I doubt a little girl playing at home or the beach in a bikini would've been viewed through the global filter of exploitation. Then again, you could always argue that parents "exploit" their children in sports, TV, film, music, and beauty pageants. If a family must choose between a financial poverty that's moral, or a financial stability that's less moral, which should they choose? Or maybe flip around the perspective... From the eyes of a smart 7-year-old girl playing with her 7-year-old friends, how do they see it? If they choose it, they probably see nothing other than having fun or even some fame, with little idea of the scary world around them. Or with clever girls, they might believe they're helping out their parents' lives as well. So whose view do we support? Damn, that's tough.
OMFG this is so f....... sick ! i admire Japanese culture, this this is just so... filthy :|
Uh, wow, that is rather...disgusting, to say it politely
gosh that's disturbing alright ^^; I wonder if the girls know what the heck they're doing =_=;
What's the appeal in this really? It's like saying a bud is more beautiful than a flower.
That's cute and all but a line has to be drawn somewhere.

Sadly, Japan still is a pedophiles paradise. Sexualizing little children like this or in some of the more disgusting Manga Anthologies (can you say toddler-sex) is one of the many things wrong in Japan. I love the country, but this is disgusting and needs to go!
this is sad, I love japan, but this is just sick, ruining the kid's future :(
child R-er= go f-ing die sorry for the harsh word. BTW, did they got r-ed? even seeing 12 or 13 year old in bikini are just sick... 14 are considered fine to sick...

hi, my wife is 16 and i am 32 ~we where married in Rome 6 months ago most persons who see us in the USA say there goes WoodAllen? & i get called a peado as well,does that make me a peado because my wife is 16? ~my mum was married at the same age
I feel sorry for the girl... :(

This is one of the more disturbing aspects of Japanese society I have seen.

this stuff is great. the body of a human is amazing and should be explored.

alright... here's what i think about it. yes, it's disgusting when the child is RAPED... but what about when a child leads a parent or close adult friend into sex? what if a child is exposed to sex in an everyday environment, IE kissing, hugging, and other such things in the media, and they want these things? the child will get curious, and who can ignore a sad little girl's face when they want something? imagine it one moment. you're friends with one of these children, then YOU'RE asked for a kiss by them. at first you will deny it... and they'll get sad, maybe even cry. you'll end up feeling bad, and wanting to make it up to them, and you'll give them their first kiss. eventually this kind of thing escalates into a sexual activity. the only thing that messes a kid up out of sex, is when an adult that they look up to walks to them and says "NO! WHAT YOU DID IS DISGUSTING! YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER DO THAT! THAT IS WRONG!" after a... lets say 10 year old girl has sex... what's their inclination? "i did wrong.." and that.. THAT is what tears a child up. its YOUR prejudice of the situation, especially when the girl wanted it. then after this, the girl will be depressed, and grow up thinking "i'm a slut" "i'm a whore" and that, in essense, is EXACTLY what they become, becaus those thoughts ATTACK them... and if they become a rape victim, they dont know how to defend themselves. does anyone here at least understand that? if not, then i've wasted my time. there's also the fact of some hentai on the internet, OVERDEVELOPED little girls, and UNDERDEVELOPED legal girls... so how can you even trust hentai? enjoy EVERYTHING about hentai, in that case (AND ANIME!!!!) and stop bitching about the small things.
The poll dosent make much sense Danny - many of these publishers & studios are funded or owned by Yakuza groups. This is part of the way they make an "honest" living nowadays. (ever since the heavy crackdown on gambling & prostitution) There used to be an amazing lecture on Japanese Yakuza groups on youtube, but they were sadly deleted, as they were obviously deemed too sensitve and explicit in detail about the Yakuza's role in DAILY life. Shame...

First I'd like to make a quick observation about this particular topic. I've actually taken the time to sit here and read all these posts. I find it interesting how all the posts from people who are are completely against Loli in any form usual leave posts that sound somethine like "that's sick. not right" yet the posts from those of us tolerant of Loli or fans of Loli are the only ones that seem educated and actually take the time to explain themselves.
Now, I've read a few people say things like "I've seen some people say that they like loli in anime but not for real, it's the same thing and you're a sicko". NO... it's not the same thing... in fact it's very different. When using the term fantasy in reference to Loli it's not concerning the wants and wishing of the reader but infact the fantastic or fictional nature of the work. Cowboy Bebop could be considered a fantasy yet let me assure you that no ammount of time with Faye Vallentine could make me fantasize about having the same fate as Spike Spiegel. Being ficticious in nature (which is made obvious by the fact that it's drawn in pencil ¬.¬) puts the reader at ease and allows them to enjoy what they find appealing about Loli. Here is where real life pedo strays away because the audience to such activity is fully aware of the reality behind the situation and are most likely taking pleasure in the fact that they are watching some real life little girl in sexual activity, willingly or by force.
I've seen a few of you ask what the appeal of Loli is anyways, saying that it's like "saying a bud is more beautiful that a flower" and in someways, you're right. Now before I continue, I'd like to state that I am simply a casual Loli reader, I don't really go out looking for it but should I come accross it I will read it. See the endearing thing about reading a FANTASY/FICTIONAL sexual situation concerning young girls is simply that being so young these FICTIONAL characters come accross as completely and totally innocent which when combined with a sexual situation, makes it feel less dirty because the characters are not having sex simply to fullfil their carnal desires, but instead to simply satisfy their sexual curiousity and open themselves the world of sexual pleasure
There's the water, I've led you to it. The rest is up to you

This is something not just unique with japan, don't blame Japan, see: http://www.nn-guide.com/ thousands of legal sites with europeans and americans but it is ok, no harm is done to anyone!
hm....i didnt expect to see what i saw when i clicked on your links Jason54321.I 'm close to their age so its just as creepy to me.i understand no physical harm is done but where are the parents?Do they know these kinds of pictures are being taken?Or do they fully support what there children are doing.or are they taking part in posting these pictures on the internet.If they were 16 or something it would probably be less shoking to me but some of them are like 8 and 8 yrs olds should be doing other stuff.this is just rushing things.And what kind of people are looking at this stuff.diffinetly not kids their age.

realmente asqueroso. es un horror.

I can't whate to go to japan so i can be accepted as a lolicon. Honestly where not all out there to rape lolis. Some of us actually care about there well being. Real life CP stuff I am disgusted at because quite frankly it hurts the lolis. But i cant help being who i am. Lolicon is such a saving grace in my life. Why people would think its wrong is beyond me. It's the only thing keeping me sain. You don't have to see it, but no one gets hurt in the process. as long as the lolis are fine and your not being forced to see it why should you care. It is also very legal in the us. [i]ndistinguishable" . . . means virtually indistinguishable, in that the depiction is such that an ordinary person viewing the depiction would conclude that the depiction is of an actual minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct. This definition does not apply to depictions that are drawings, cartoons, sculptures, or paintings depicting minors or adults.” If you look at United States v.Williams case, he was only charged with having real life ecci stuff and informing others that he had real life CP.
this is really scary. this kinda pedophilic stuff is one of the biggest problems of the japanese society i think. well, its male part's at least
One time me and my cousin found one of those book on the net and be honest we wish we could stab our eyes out. That stuff just so wrong.
Unlike loli in animes, this is scary, the photographers should be arrested, and stores closed. The main reason is because the pics, even if took in an "innocent way", might eventually cause great harm to those kids. And stuff like this is not a Japan-exclusive thing. I think people picture Japan as a country that has this abnormal problem with pedophilia, but the truth is people are just impressed with Animes. Western countries has a lot more problems related with Child Abuse and prostitution. But they hide it, or turn them into statistics... which is even worse. But back to the topic, it's also an interesting issue to look into. What's the difference between a photografer that will shoot 8year olds and sell the pics, and a dad/brother that takes pics while on vacation on a beach on his daughter/sister, then posts it on a blog? It all comes on intentions... something pretty hard to judge. Also, more closely now: What's the difference between a professional photografer that takes the pics and sells it to pedophiles... or to stores that ressels to pedophiles... and a professional photografer that takes the pics for the summer line on a department store? Is this a moral thing, a religion related thing or what?
what the heck? this is scary... seriously scary... whatever happened to family friendly photos of children??? if this continues... by God i don't know what will happen in the future... (a scary thought: picture a younger child than the one shown dressed in a bikini and force to pose... you get the idea)
I can understand ages 12 to 16, maybe even 11, but 5 and 8? I'd be more concerend with feeding them than anything else. Besides, as a personal preference, I'd like someone who has a slight idea of what I'm doing
To all users who thinks it's Hot??? What makes an 4 or 8 or 10 year old child???Your one sick person!!!! The FEDS should slice and dice all of you sick bastards! For the love of God these are children.
