I want no hypocrisy or cowardice. Just call it what it is. I know that none of you actually answered the question still and it's clear why
The reason no one's "calling it what it is" is not hypocrisy, but tact and self-preservation.
If you told a random stranger you like watching violent movies, would they assume you're watching slasher films, or snuff films?
If you told a random stranger you like watching child porn, would they assume you're watching animated lolis/shotas, or real children?
When explaining something like this in literal terms without qualifiers as you're proposing people here should do, you're just asking to be misinterpreted. If people didn't make it really obvious their attraction is only to drawings or didn't use obfuscating terminology, they could get unwanted attention from law enforcement even if they're not doing anything illegal.
It's really not surprising that loli/shota fans would rather disassociate with a loaded term than use it to describe themselves even if they could using its literal definition. If they tried, others would just force the focus back to the most negative connotations. It lumps them in with people that actually have a good reason for being reviled, which paints a target on their backs.
