Yes, I think it would be ideal for society to become completely desensitized to sex. If indeed people weren't affected by it, then I would whole-hearted not give a damn about loli. But as it is right now, society lets sex have a certain power over them and that sexual taboo turns impressionable youths that wouldn't otherwise be into future pedophiles.

Society has not been desensitized to ALL violence. Certain acts of violence are just as taboo as sex. And until those taboos are demolished in entertainment, I'll deem them equally inapropriate in material marketed to younger audiences.

Yea, if you say it like that, my wording doesn't make sence. ^_^;;

But i guess what i'm trying to say is that it would be less likely for a rational person to become irrational if others didn't react to it. I think the best way to describe it is with the fire analogy how a normally rational person reacts in an irrational way because of the paniked crowd.

To younger minds still seeking moral guidiance, it isn't insane to be swayed easily by popular culture.
