I think I don't want you "teaching" me any more about this. I feel like I'm worse off now than before.
At any rate, I wasn't joking about the FBI. When I found out that "CP" was code for "child pornography" in order to hide activity, it sickened me. It wasn't much of a stretch to assume that above cutesy term was a similar way of "hiding" stuff.
I really honestly couldn't care less which group started using the term first, and I don't care if they have two gender specific terms. However, it DOES disturb me that so many English speaking fans took it upon themselves to FIND OUT all these Japanese terms and make it their own. That actually makes it WORSE! Why did they do that?! Why would they WANT to do that? One thing's for sure, now whenever I see someone use some weird Japanese term online, I gotta just make sure to ask myself if I REALLY want to know what that term means. You're mired in it ABF, you should find this stranger than you do. You're the frog in the slow to boil pot of water.
Yes, I am going to call them all pedophiles. You may have a point about fake depictions being better than actual photos (though what's with your distinction between "2D" and "3D", I really don't think an Oculus Rift is going to make much difference here), but at the end of the day, we've got a planet full of 7 billion people. I can afford to be just picky enough in who I associate with to decide I'd rather not have anything to do with anyone who is sexually attracted to children, whether they can limit it to fictional depictions or not. There's just not room in my life for such people.
If what you say is true, and most of the anime made today is incredibly niche in Japan as well, pandering to a bunch of shut ins, that's not something they can sustain. If they're really too afraid to offend those shutins for things that frankly they should be called out on, well, that's no good. I think I see now why I avoid so much of the anime these days. I'll take the super hero fighting stuff any day of the week over these sad excuses for shows.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
