Growth of lynch law and political statements, primarily based on religious/moral motives.
In my opinion, you have to do anything as long as you're not hurting the freedom of other people.
But no, taboos exist for some reason. In my country, LGBT is a taboo, even though they're not hurting anybody. Moe/loli are also taboo for some reason, even though they're not harming anyone, in contrast to gore which gets its place on most movies. Alcohol & weed is a different beast, I guess, it causes a hard-addiction and damages people's minds. We're getting sensitive about small things and get completely ignorant about what is really killing people and nature painfully, like social inequality/injustice, lack of education, healthcare, etc.
Alienation is also a problem, it's been here since the 19th century, just that now it gets a boost 'If you're not on social media, then you don't exist'. Every public event is a public relations event now as well. It's damn important to get a checkbox that we attended a f...ing meeting. Attendance and formal presence becomes more important than social interaction, knowledge and problem solving.
EDIT: I'd like to clarify that sexual abuse of people under the age of consent or sexual abuse of adults who didn't explicitly consent in any means equals to torture, which is against the other's person's will and it breaks the freedom of abused person and it shall be forbidden. Note that people under the age of consent cannot consent because they are not responsible for themselves and cannot make such choice. My point is that moe (including loli and shota, which can look disturbing) are stigmatized and did not deserve an attribution to obscenity or sexual abuse material. This stigma shall be broken.
Are you seriously asking why "loli" is taboo? Isn't that the sexual attraction to child characters in anime? It should be fairly obvious why that is rightfully taboo. Also why lump in LGBT people in that, using the same reasoning? LGBT has nothing to do with that.
I would rather people with such attractions seek out loli than actual CSAM. So on the one hand it should be taboo, but on the other hand if it's the alternative to CSAM then it shouldn't, I'd rather have those people look at loli.
I'd rather neither and those people to put a bullet in their brain
Roughly as nice a sentiment as the people you talk about.
Wait, sorry, did you just list "drawings of adults with big boobs" with "sexualized drawings of children" as though they were basically the same thing?
