    However Karl’s own thesis describes the material - known as shota - as a genre of self-published erotic comics that feature ‘young boy characters in a cute or, most often, sexually explicit way’.

    :libertarian-approaching:

    However Karl’s study even thanks his PhD supervisor Dr Sharon Kinsella - who herself specialises in ‘Lolita complex subcultures’ at the university - for ‘always encouraging him to go where his research takes him’.

    :ancap-good:

    Some parents were unable to even finish the study’s introduction and described the contents ‘unspeakably grim’ as it documents pleasuring himself in great detail while discussing ‘pubescent boys’ and ‘the period of puberty’.

    :libertarian-alert:

        You can’t just do sociology at people you like. If you do that you’ll never figure things out. You’ve got to try to disassemble the weird outliers and figure out why they do what they do, even if they’re gross.
