However Karl's own thesis describes the material - known as shota - as a genre of self-published erotic comics that feature 'young boy characters in a cute or, most often, sexually explicit way'.

:libertarian-approaching:

However Karl's study even thanks his PhD supervisor Dr Sharon Kinsella - who herself specialises in 'Lolita complex subcultures' at the university - for 'always encouraging him to go where his research takes him'.

:ancap-good:

Some parents were unable to even finish the study's introduction and described the contents 'unspeakably grim' as it documents pleasuring himself in great detail while discussing 'pubescent boys' and 'the period of puberty'.

:libertarian-alert:

This guy needs help before it goes any further

Found a link to the actual study, CW defence of pedo stuff and actual pedo stuff

His argument for why he should do this is just straight up gross

CW, justification for pedo stuff

The solution had been there all along, printed in plain language in the interviews –I had just not seen it so clearly. Because no matter how my research participants’ takes on shota differed in terms of favourite theme, preferred age and style of characters, how they related their own selves to the story, and so on, they had one thing in common: almost all of them said that they masturbated to shota material. I tried to inquire about the details of these masturbation sessions, but it was hard to know what to ask, and the conversation sometimes stalled. In addition, it would have been impossible for me to grasp how the intellectual reasoning, for example, of entering an alternative past, was connected to the bodily sensation of masturbation without me ‘doing it’myself. Audre Lorde (1997: 282) has written: ‘The erotic cannot be felt secondhand.’ Indeed. And so I realized that my body was equipped with a research tool of its own that could give me, quite literally, a ﬁrst-hand understanding of shota

This is all also almost entirely a fucking lie when it comes to how he portrays himself as some kinda clueless Dante figure being lead through this weird sexual landscape, he's been trying to normalize child porn for literally 10+ years including running several magazines about publishing softcore child porn with pictures of actual children, he has absolutely jerked off to children before and did not just suddenly discover he has a dick in his pants in the course of running this joke of a study.
