I need these "lolicon turns people into pedophiles and that's why it's bad" people to answer some questions for me.

Either there's some mechanism in the brain for which conversion therapy works, but only for chronophilias, and only one way, (in which case I would be very interested in finding out the neurology of that) or somehow every single conversion therapist in the world has somehow not stumbled onto this Free and Easy solution for making people straight.
