Is pedophilia ingrained into imageboard culture? or can it exist without pedophilia? After all, imageboard culture has its roots in otaku culture, and we all know how extensive the overlap of "lolicon" and otaku culture is.

I don't advocate pedophilia, but I feel like people who post on textboards like this, announcing that they're anti-pedophile, are just the worst people to have discussions with. They could all just be trolls, sure, but I feel like anytime anything remotely pedo-ish comes up, regardless of the quality of discussion, someone extremely angry will spam or derail the thread at the expense of discussion.
