1. General Context
To begin to understand the brilliancy of this very simple yet powerful post, we have to consider the genius strategy and timing behind it.
Pedophilia is already one of the most, if not the most, controversial and taboo topics of our times. Had @ThoughtfulCel posted that bold statement randomly, it would already have been impactful enough, but he waited until the whole pedophilia/hebephilia/ephebophilia/agecuck controversy here reached its peak through OP's thread, which was probably the most daring and far-fetched suggestion ever made against incels who are pedo/hebe/ephebophiles or even just appreciators of its discussion outside of the bounds of political correctness where you can only say feminist-approved opinions about it.
Had such suggestion been accepted, that would forever change the course of history of this forum, and ThoughtfulCel knew that.
2. Thread Context
After OP's suggestion met the expected fierce reaction of many members and intense serious discussions followed, ThoughtfulCel skillfully and timely combo-broke it with his sharp, direct, low inhib, simple statement about his fondness for lolis.
3. Use of Intentional Ambiguity
How does Thoughtfulcel like lolis exactly? Sexually? Romantically? Platonically? Does he mean loli as in Japanese drawn characters representing little girls, or the term being used for actual little girls?
He craftily lets space for the readers' imagination to fill the gaps and further boost the notoriety of his post.
4. Use of imagery
ThoughtfulCel illustrates his post with the image of a Gorilla with a serene expression, as if the gorilla himself was thinking about the lolis he likes when the photograph was taken, which also contrasts with his avi of the animal having an angry, serious-looking countenance instead and further shows how much he really likes lolis.
5. Aftermath
After the post, the thread, which was previously dominated by argumentative, serious, aggressive posts only, starts to thrive with other simple, friendly, humoristic posts about lolis, and even other users feeling more confident to reveal their appreciation for lolis after ThoughtfulCel's courage broke the ice for them. This certainly had an influence in OP's suggestion being refused.
6. Conclusion
For its many qualities, including bravery, serenity, peacemaking, simplicity, superb timing, extraordinary strategic value, humor, good-nature and others, which I fail to identify all together in any other single post in our history, I consider this post the best post ever in the history of our beloved forum.
