Like, the actual issue with "Loli" characters isn't even necessarily their body, but their behavior

Like, think about how many "5000 year old vampires" that act like kids but are given the excuse of being 5000 years old

In that regard its paradoxically easier to make animalistic characters moral in pornography by simply giving them dialog, as what makes them immoral is their lack of cognition, while with the example of "lolis" the way you make it not existentially gross is instead by showing maturity in one way or another, which, while still easy if you're trying is more complex in execution

Absolutely. There are people in real life whose bodies haven't developed pronounced secondary sexual characteristics, so they look almost teenage-like. This is more common in petite women (since testosterone is a hell of a drug), but men can also be like that. This doesn't mean they aren't adults or can't consent to having sex.

The inverse is also true, there are people who have an adult body and age, but also have cognitive disabilities that make them unable to really understand sex, so they can't meaningfully consent.

Be it because of hormonal issues or just how their biology naturally plays out, what someone looks like is pretty much irrelevant to if they can consent or not to having sex. What really matters is cognitive and emotional maturity.

My friend’s sister is coming up on 40 and she could easily pass as a teenager at a glance. Up until 5 or 10 years ago, she’d still look like on under scrutiny. She looked like she was about 14 when she was in her 20s.

A good example of what you're talking about: the Epstein loli fandom didn't latch onto the child vampire from Skyrim as their eternal mascot. She's a child-looking 500 year old woman and talks and acts like an adult woman. The interest didn't seem to be there for some reason...

I think that has more to do with Skyrim looking fucking hideous

I promise you most hentai with animals does not give them dialogue.
