You talk as if drawing small children in a sexual way wasn't a staple of the anime genre. It isn't just that it's common in the fanfics. It's just plain common. That's disturbing. Can I say that I was deeply affected by that picture? No. I will say again that those who draw such things and then claim that they are pictures of adults aren't fooling anyone. Well, anyone who isn't a professed anime fan, that is.
I didn't say it was a picture of an adult, you'd have to be quite blind to think that, and I only think Nikki claimed it couldn't have been because you two took eachother a little too seriously and she felt backed into a corner.

I am very aware of a subset of anime and manga draws young children in sexually charged situations and that it is called Lolicon and Shotacon, it's quite weird but I wouldn't call it pedophilic, I mean my favourite anime (Neon Genesis Evangelion) involves quite a fair bit of nudity and sexually charged situations involving fourteen year olds and that's quite universally aknowledged as art, first off because it's done for a reason. I am also vaguely aware that some forms of hentai center around pedophilia. I don't like hentai. That's sick.
