 | | The controversy that stems from shotacon, is due to the fact that it depicts sexual encounters with underaged boys(usually with adult males).While many find this kind of art "arousing" and protected by the 1st amendment,others argue that its a direct offshoot to the childpornography propaganda that circulates on the internet and in other said locations. |
 | | Some have even go so far as to say that certain "shotacon mangas" such as the works from artists like "Poju",are based on real life sexual experiences as a child or with children.While said claims have yet to be confirmed,shotacon still remains a taboo and mostly unacceptable form of art,along side with yaoi,futanari,lolicon,and yuri. |
 | | Where this shotacon concept developed is hard to prove, but one of the earliest roots of this syndrome can be traced to readers responses to detective series written by Edogawa Rampo featuring cool detective Kogoro Akechi. |
