Do you even read/view any AR/AP content? It doesn't sound like it because you paint with a very broad and inaccurate brush. You keep equating AR/AP with child porn even if you don't state it. In AR/AP, characters under the age of consent are not sexualized. They are either the "before" of an age progression (sexless child into sexy adult), the "after" of a comeuppance, an adult humiliated/embarassed in a loss of status/power (a dynamic that is mirrored in a lot of shrinking content), or what the character wished/desired to be (return to childhood or infancy). AR/AP is never about perceiving underage children as sexual objects. In many shrinking fantasies the shrinking leads to a loss of power/control which is part of the thrill and then the characters interact sexually. In AR/AP, the loss of power/control is often part of the thrill but there is no sexual interaction afterwards.

By your standard (emphasis on consenting adults), a whole lot of shrinking and frankly any type of transformation content should be excluded or to use the more accurate word - censored - because it is non-consensual and sexual. I don't believe in that, but you appear to. I invite you to go and read the 4,500 stories at the AR archive and let me know when you find actual sexual activity between an adult and a child below the age of consent.

I'm not in this discussion to convince you to get into AR/AP. I aim to dissuade you, and others reading this, against advocating for the censorship of any fetish based on an inaccurate characterization of what that fetish actually is.
