>>3392951Here's an easy trick to figure it out, usually. Just look at one's reaction to shota art involving girls and women to find out.
The more wholesome shota enthusiasts appreciate that a little boy most likely has a mom who loves him and loves him back, a sister to protect or be protected by, and maybe a female childhood crush or something. These are all aspects of a normal, happy childhood after all, and what can give a shota his glow.
Meanwhile, those who see shota exclusively through the lens of homosexual love will instead imagine situations where shotas are exclusively gay, where women dont exist or are unimportant compared to the sexually charged male substitutes.
They will react with disgust to the implication a boy may not be gay or to see him love, romantically or not, a member of the opposite sex.
Of course here is not a really fair place to judge, since nogirlz is just a matter of board rules and this must be respected, but in discussions or on other places like shotachan it's easy to tell using this method.
