   Preach it, bruthah. I’ve never seen a country so in the closet about their pedophilia as the U.S. of A.

     Yeah, at least Japan openly admits it.

       Lolicon and pedophilia are too very different things…

         But they are both on the same (creepy) end of the sexual spectrum.

         There isn’t that much difference between “I’m attracted to children” and “I’m attracted to people that look like children”.

           Yeah, no, not at all.

           Except, y’know, that whole getting consent thing. You know, consent: that thing that kids can’t give, but adults who look like kids can?

             Yeah, except that an awful lot of that ‘lolicon’ material ignores consent at all and focuses on rape.

             Oh, give it time. Some day you’ll be a “bigot” for this stance.

             Incest and polygamy are already on the table…

               Right, because informed adults choosing to have relationships with more than one other informed adult is TOTALLY like sexualising children and fetishising the idea of taking advantage of their vulnerability. And it’s exactly like sexually abusing real children!

               I am fucking sick of people equating nontraditional consensual relationships between adults with child abuse, rape, and even beastiality. If no one’s hurt, if it’s between ADULTS who know what they’re consenting to and, you know, who actually do consent, it is nothing like those things. Nothing.

               If it’s not your cup of tea, fine, don’t have that kind of relationship. But don’t tell someone they might as well be a fucking child molester just because they are in a loving, romantic relationship with both of their best friends, who are totally fine with it.

   Actually, I’m an adult and my torso is considerably less than 3 heads long, but then, I only get hit on by pedophiles.

   I’m 34 and 5′ 7″ and a half. I have no idea how many heads that is, but yeah, not everyone is perfectly proportioned. But i agree with Old_Crow, America is very much in the closet about it’s pedophilia. Pedophiles are getting outed all the time these days. Hell, there’s a North American Man/boy love association (NAMBLA) lobbying to reduce the legal age of consent to before pre-teen. Sick, yes, but America is tearing itself apart because of it’s puritanism.

     Meaning that it is puritanism, denying yourself basic human pleasures in life, that tends to cause psychological problems. I hate goddamn puritans.

       I’m going to go out on a limb here and point out that pleasing yourself 100% of the time can make bad things happen… And also, having sex with children wo don’t even know what sex IS can cause some psychological problems to… and so can rape and drugs and a lot of other things…

       Actually, the Puritans were really open about sex. They had ten kids and lived in one room huts for crying out loud. The knew what was up. Actually sexual disfunction was a matter for open court in Puritan society; a woman could call for a divorce if her man couldn’t get it up anymore.

       Americans’ sexually repressive cultural values come from a Victorian root. Victorian married couples wouldn’t hold hands in public and rarely even used eachtohers first names because it was too intimate.

       Just, you know, thought I’d share.

   Heh. Every character in this strip’s got about that head-torso proportion. Willis openly admits his characters’ heads are unrealistically child-proportioned big.

   Not only that, but in It’s Walky, most of the younger characters were properly proportioned for kids 10 to 15, at about one and a half to two heads.

   Heck, now you got me to measure myself. At least roughly that is.

   I’m 5’9” and a half. Head to torso is almost to the point 1 to 3 for me. And while I was at it: Torso to legs are 1:1 if I take the bottom of the crotch as the division line. Since we were already talking about proportions in comics after all, where legs sometimes tend to get, well, long.
