There's no definite conclusion on whether consuming and distributing lolicon content could lead some individuals to seek out or create explicit content involving real children

If they rule that out entirely through the scientific method one day, then I'll join your side

Weebs usually respond to that "Well that's like saying video games cause violence!" so I'll jump ahead of you, that would be like saying we should forbid Lolicon videogames in a society that already has lolicon books, lolicon movies, lolicon cartoons and where history classes mostly cover instances of countries showing lolicon to each other. That's not the situation we're in, and even if it was, it's still not necessarily comparable. Sexual urges have properties that violence doesn't share.
