I've definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is "smart" nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn't require any of that before.

What's some things currently making you ramble like an old man?

Moe/loli are also taboo for some reason, even though they're not harming anyone,

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.
