i know, they're all about the same, obviously, that's not what i meant, i meant in the way the joke is laid out, they get less and less accusatory and more innocuous.
pedophile and lolicon are equally accusatory, they literally mean the same thing too, that's why i said it's a side-step. 'lolicon' is not a 'more intelligent' way to name a pedophile, it's arguably more retarded, its just the same god damn word but a weeaboo said it instead. "MAP" follows the joke much better, and if you can't see that, you clearly don't know how jokes work
i am painfully uninterested in the distinction between ロリコン and ペド because we're not in japan, we're not using those words in the way the japanese do. a lolicon is -basically- a pedophile for the purposes of this joke, which is to say, to a general audience. the only one who'd bother to make a distinction like that are lolicons and theyre clearly not the target audience seeing as the joke takes a shot right at them. i even said to take it out, but i think the joke will work just as well if it stays in and map is added.

pedophile necessitates a -sexual- attraction, lolicon does not, both in japan and abroad.
Carter Rogers
not in common usage, the average person seeing this joke will not make that distinction which is my point.
Gabriel Murphy
*shrug* the "average person" probably doesn't even know what a lolicon is, maybe people should start using words properly?
Josiah Stewart
sure but that's beyond the scope of what i intended to discuss
