That sucks, and I'm sorry it happened, but I would say that being falsely accused of being a ped because of a harmless art style change is pretty different from someone expressing discontent with some weird behavior and someone coming in and saying "So what? We're into that shit and so are the based devs, so fuck off with your morals and go bitch somewhere else, normie tourist".

Honestly, the drawings are one thing, but the main problem is people trying to convince me that it's not weird to form your sexuality around fictional middle schoolers, either through denial, saying it's ironic, or worse, embracing it once they find a clique of like-minded people. Like, buddy (not you, but some guy I'm reminiscing about), you jerked off to it, which means you like it. That's it. You can't argue with that. I'm not saying you're going to kidnap kids the next day or anything, but if you ask anyone it certainly wouldn't help your case against it.
