I mean, on the one hand, from what I can see, this is just the same type of take I've seen countless times just with much more even-handed, academic-speak. On the other hand, I do think that there should be real criticism of certain subsects of lolicons, notably, not to bring politics into it, those associated with the "alt-right" and incel groups, which most kodocons do not want to discuss. There is a type of lolicon fan, universally male or nearly so, that does just seem to be into young girls or nearly so and for whom lolicon media does not serve as a fantasy space but as an outlet for very real desires which, due to the nature of such communities online, may be acted upon. I think most loli fans don't really like to acknowledge that and tbh while I disagree with the entire gist of Petit's argument on the matter, I can at least appreciate someone coming into it from a clear-minded pov (rather than moralistic, blind, judgemental one) to shake things up and make both otaku academics and otaku elsewhere question (or make others question by their violent rejection, as I've seen looking up her name lol) the things they take for granted. This is intensely hypocritical to say which is why I never do unless prompted but I do feel there are "certain types" of lοlι pornography that often feel they express a lust for real underage girls and the fans of it often seem to confirm this - however, because this is merely a subjective look at it, I tend to not speak of it, but it's curious I also never see anyone bring it up.

On the other hand, I find how she equates ρεdορhιlιa with shota/lοli stuff to be wildly irresponsible, wrong and gross, as I do the appeals to state intervention (in the form of legislation). That part of her argument, that shotacon/lolicon being queer is the "gay = ρεdορhιle" conservative argument, is indefensible and shockingly ignorant.

So yeah, not a fan at all, and her fixation with lolicon and hentai strikes me as obviously neurotic and personal (she admits to consuming it in the past, which makes me think this is personal - not to psychoanalyze further, but) but I also do think that kodocons should be more critical and look at what they like from different povs. I critique the representational way of thinking about media always, but I think that blindly pretending that media contains no ideology at all is just as silly. There's no shame in admitting that media, as an expression of fantasies, contains its own ideology often not consciously thought about by the author. Shoujo manga, as much as I like it, often serves as "initiation material" for young girls to accept life as a housewife in a nuclear family unit, per example. It's good to draw the line between fantasy and its expressions, and ideology, and try to see which is which. It's just that miss Petit's way is most certainly not it.
