Shotacon: Difference between revisions

Shotacon is also used as a theme in works for a more general audience, where it tends to be less [[Dismissed Gender|controversial]] than [[Lolicon]]. In works aimed at a female audience, it's typically played for [[Moe]] [[Fan Service]], or to characterize someone as a [[Covert Pervert]] or [[Yaoi Fangirl]]. In works for a male audience it's typically played for humor; because [[Double Standard|boys are stereotypically]] [[All Men Are Perverts|more obsessed with sex]], shotacon themes are generally intended to sexualize the woman, rather than the boy who is the target of her affection. So it pops up in [[Shonen]] a lot, even if those boys are on the technical borderline; some readers find the idea of physical encounters with older women enticing, while others like the aggressive female characters usually involved. If a show has an aggressive, sex-hungry [[The Ojou|Ojou]] with an [[Noblewoman's Laugh|annoying laugh]], she's the most likely candidate, although usually only if potential male targets are very limited.
