I don't think anyone is arguing that it does.
> Isn't it curious that a country which is relatively open about acknowledging subcultures who are "lolicon" and catering to them is also one of the safest countries for children, with very low rates of child-abuse for its population size/density?
No, that's inaccurate.
> Isn't it curious that a country which is relatively open about ... catering to it's sexual fetishers who are "lolicon" also ... has very low rates of reported cases of child-abuse in which a conviction was handed down for its population size/density?
Not really.
> Drawn pornography catering to a niche that might otherwise feel very sexually frustrated and inhibited seems like a good idea.
Can't say I entirely disagree myself. How about a National Lolicon Registration program? Registrants get free porn in exchange for their freedom of privacy.
