@taylan@fedi.feministwiki.org @crunklord420@clubcyberia.co I think the term "drawn child pornography" has multiple issues.

1. Lolicon is not an obscure term. Everyone on the fediverse and might read this post knows what this means, also people outside of the anime fandom know. Just use the term for the thing that everyone knows and stop making it sound worse than it really is. The term is well known and properly defined: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolicon

2. I think the term "drawn child pornography" heavily implies that this material should be illegal. Because if it is a form of child pornography then it should be covered by child pornography laws, right? While in reality actual child pornography is illegal virtually everywhere, but lolicon is not, because they are distinct. In countries that do not make this distinction, generally weird censorship things happen.

2. Again this is going to sound very Stallman-esque but most lolicon characters are teenagers, not children. What they in the field call "toddlercon" is closer to "drawn child pornography".
