Okay so maybe a dumb question, but is lolicon a sexual thing? I know that hentai exists obviously and there's of course overlap, but I always took loli to mean the "cute" anime kids, like that Anubis kid that blocks bot traffic.
I'm not wikipedia (but I did steal the last part from it) but Loli is an abbreviation of Lolita, both describe the same thing young, prepubescent kids, most often girls. It came about from a Russian-American book published in 1955 of the same name, Lolita, The protagonist and narrator is a French literature professor who moves to New England and writes under the pseudonym Humbert Humbert. He details his obsession with and victimization of a 12-year-old girl, Dolores Haze, whom he describes as a "nymphet". Humbert becomes sexually obsessed with Dolores after becoming her stepfather, and romanticizes his obsession. Privately, he calls her "Lolita", the Spanish diminutive for Dolores.
Haha thank you for trying, I guess I was more looking for live opinions rather than a definition. I think I've just got an out of date one.
I thought loli was the subject and lolicon was the pedo.
I guess it's not.
Same as yaoi or yuri, it doesn't need to be sexual. I'm not actually expert on the matter.
I remember watching this famous anime "made in abyss" the drawing style is clearly loli, and there are some heavy loli tones on it. But as far as I've seen there's no sexual content in it, (though I've read that the author is indeed shady about sexual content involving minors).
That gives another differentiate factor. There are people that might like lolicon just for the cuteness like hello kitty or something like that. I didn't actually thought about that.
