honestly Diz, your words were just a trigger for a gun that was ready to fire already. Everyone was highly untrusting of the project, as I said this is for good reason. Not going to repeat why though.

Its an unfortunate incident, but don't blame yourself at all here Diz. They made a number of mistakes themselves that could have avoided this entirely. Don't fully blame yourself as anything would have triggered a reaction.

Shota and Lolicon are considered borderline genres as it is, as they are an attempt to exploit the element of child-like innocence often to please a fantasy in a way, which is not always sexual, but often sexualised looking on the outside. A lot of fans of the genre outside of Jaapn lack the association of genre, which is criticised as "giving perverts child porn or fantasies without actually giving them it", in short it is often taken as a loophole on the subject. This puts the genre at odds as it treads a fine line and as attitude is changing slowly in Japan it is subject to some controversies related to it. If the subject is 18 looks 10, is it "safe" still? Why does a 18 even look like a child to begin with, at 18 it should look like an adult right?!?! Such thoughts are the drive behind the move against the genre to begin with, as there is also a move against the portrayal of females by otaku's right now as almost "pets" in fiction. Its especially touchy if there is a handful of characters look like that, or an entire gender looks like that when their opposite gender is "normal" for their age.
