The former, since it tries to lump them with the later in a discriminatory fashion.
Ah so that's the type of discrimination you meant. Yes, that annoys me a lot, you may have noticed. But the real issue is legality and censorship, of art no less. For example, people going to jail for having lolicon on their PC, VNs having to be censored, H sites with lolicon being threatened to have their IP be blacklisted by countries, etcetera. So the reason I am so against the misportyal and discrimination of lolicon is because the opinion of the masses directly effects the law. Even when the subject matter is proven to have no negative consequences whatsoever. Victimless crimes shouldn't be a thing.
So TL;DR, I couldn't care less if people are asshats, if only the people in power weren't. That's never going to happen though so the only course of action is to fight to change public opinion.

and the fact that they're practically just being played as a tool to further other people's agendas?
Not the lolicons as you call them,

Because I'm incredibly sick of that word with it's extreme negative connotations being misused by people just to further their agenda. Moral bigots and the government that is, labelling someone a paedophile is used much the same way by the government as when people are labelled a terrorist.
So what I mean here is that the word paedophilia is used as a label by these prejudiced moral bigots to label lolicon, because they just don't like lolicon and associate it with paedophilia to get it banned (their agenda).
And I was also talking about the government using the negative connotations of paedophilia to silence and control their opponents, but I admit that's going off on a bit of a tangent.
