Lolicon and Shotacon are two of the categories of toonophilia, and a generic term for people who view imaginary children as sexual objects and is an abbreviation for Lolita Complex and Shota Complex. Often treated as synonymous with pedophilia, there is a slight discrepancy with the original definition of the word. While they view imaginary children as sexual objects, they do not show that much interest in real children and are often [[:Category:Misopedists|misopedists]] to the contrary. However, there have been documented cases in which sexual love for imaginary children has turned into pedophilia (one notable case was Elsagate, which caused YouTube to remove videos and ban channels that displayed content especially sexual ones. Another one was the Japanese serial killer [[Tsutomu Miyazaki]], who was a fan of both lolicon and horror media), and it is not entirely unrelated to pedophilia. As mentioned before, these categories are '''STRONGLY''' associated with toonophilia. Due to this reason, these categories are subjected to debates, most of which are very controversial in nature.

Websites that are based in the Western world (such as the United States) typically bans lolicon/shotacon (if the content in question is reported) and in some countries (such as Japan), a content warning is required to remind viewers or readers that lolicon/shotacon are fictional and attempting or recreating the contents in real life will result in investigation by law enforcement. These content warnings also warn viewers and readers that the contents are also distressing. Websites in all countries had a button to report any suggestive comments (such as sexual roleplay).
