Really, from my observations on the model DL rates on AI sites I think loliconism isn't actually
that rare (at least among those that have the local GPUs to make art, who are predominately tech oriented males)
but it's primarily attraction to
specific characters rather than a desire for that demographic of characters in general. Some such characters are just
huge (like top 10 most DLed character models every month huge), but models for obscure girls do worse than models for obscure women and anime teenagers.
By contrast, you can tell faggots are just filthy, vile, disgusting creatures who (despite what the legacy media really wants to make you think) really are a
tiny minority who are very, very
loud. Where even definitely adult females that don't at all hide they're for sexy stuff will have their creators first show off the ability for the model to do their default clothes and various in-character things before sticking sexy stuff in the back (if not exclude it entirely, possibly because the creator gets more enjoyment out of monopolized nudes), male character models fall into two types with virtually no overlap.
A:
Completely G rated galleries that treat the model's example gallery as a matter of displaying one's technical and artistic skill by someone who was either commissioned to make it and/or is a fan of the IP and did lots of characters (male and female) from it
B: Completely hardcore open display of fetishization. Immediate nudity, spread anus, deliberately deformed anatomy, bara etc. The few creators who make these churn out
loads of low quality models with no effort at individualizing each model, but at such frequency they drown out everything else.
DL rates for male characters, even ones from popular series, are
tiny overall. They don't even make the 10,000 character models levels of tiny.
