Very good point. 18 is just an arbitrary age we use. In Japan, IIRC, it's 16.

It's the pre-pubescent stuff I find a bit peculiar. And i'm just curious. I'm not saying anything about it. It just seems like it's "big in Japan", and I just wondered why.
Again, well put. When I was a teenager, I thought teen girls were hot. But once I turned 18, then all the sudden they weren't supposed to be? Odd. Teen girls are still hot, I guess. But the thing that migrated my interests was that there is a huge canyon in terms of mental maturity between the ages of 18 and 19, and again between 19 and 20, etc. This disparity seems to taper off by the early-to-mid-20's. It wasn't the fact that they ceased to be physically attractive. I was simply moving into the adult world, and I could no longer relate to high school drama crap.
I've walked up and down the streets of Akihabara, and I'd never seen this store that dcharlie was talking about. I think Skykid had mentioned that store on this board before, and I was troubled about this. But now by reading dcharlie's description, I'm not quite as offended as it seems that this shop is just skirting the boundaries of what is acceptable (typical for Japan).
Japan does seem to be a bit more accepting of the loli thing, but mainly because Japan is a country where people pretty much ignore others if they aren't bothering them and don't have crowds of fundamentalists who get all worked up over stuff.
But to contrast, it is ridiculous to swing the pendulum to the exact opposite, as
this article illustrates. Basically, they're banning women with small busts in porn in Australia, deeming them immoral since their depiction will incite men to become child molesters. This is such moronic nonsense that I think that any true feminist should be outraged, since it is basically dictating how a woman's body should be shaped. I really shouldn't care about what goes on in Australia since I don't live there, nor do I really care about porn because I have plenty of other things to do than to waste my time with porn. Typical porn exemplifies the physical features that make me sick: big, slutty melons (most likely implants) and bald pussies. No thanks--makes me glad I married a J-girl. However, this ruling in Australia really offends me. I married a petite J-girl, and I admit that I am pretty partial to DFC chicks. Boobs can certainly be too big, but I really don't think they can be too small. Case in point, let's use anime characters.
Check out the nightmare-ish, gimungous sacks of fat on the appropriately-named CATTLEya from Queens Blade:
Holy crap. Puketastically nasty. Looks like she's tied two laundry sacks around her neck and hung them from her shoulders, and probably would have the spine to prove it if she were real.
Now, check out the DFC on Etna from Disgaea:
TEH HAWTNESS. Case closed.
I'm not into lolis, but I do get turned on with a good DFC. However, apparently the lawmakers of Australia consider me a pedophile as a result. Well, up yours, Australia. I've had jackasses insinuate that I'm a pedophile just because my wife, who is only exactly one year younger than myself, has the body of a young teenager. I've had some bitch in my neighborhood spreading gossip that I married some child bride from Asia. That bitch only wishes she'd look as good as my wife will look once she's her age. Now the Australian government is treating me the same way. I love my wife and I love her body, so that makes me a frickin' pervert? Up yours, Australia. I don't see you jerkwads passing laws against depicting women who wax their pubic hair. Why isn't that raising any red flags of pedophilia?
OK, my rant is over. This stupid crap just pisses me off.
