Friends in Amateur Game Development General are having an aneurysm over the definition of "loli"

>>>/vg/173911721

Is the term inherently sexual or not?

What is the etymology of the term?

lolita complex, so basically pedo and the term is sexual. Some might argue that the term could be used to describe any young female character, but the sexual aspect is always apparent when the character is called a loli

I don't see anything sexual with "gothic loli". Gothic milf however is sexual. For this analogy to stand you must make the claim that loli = cartoon child I'd like to fuck, by definition. Unless you do that then the analogy does not hold

>> No.16861314

depending on which story of the universe you believe "loli" is either western originating and short for "lolita" (unlikely since english users dont have a word shortening fetish) or japanese originating (fucking duh) and short for "lolicon".
but in either case it's sexual.

Right, I confused it. The title was lolita.

Well regardless it was eventually adopted in Japan to mean pedophilia anyway. I'm a little confused as to why anyone gets in a hissy fit over the term. Go one step further, the term in Japan is EQUIVALENT to pedophilia, so including 3D. Here in the western internet we mainly use it to refer to 2D.

The fact that she doesn't have a sex scene doesn't mean that she can't be sexualised. That being said, assuming that she is never sexualised by anyone, ever, she is still a loli.

I love loli and 95% of the time when I say loli I mean it in a sexual context. That being said, "sexualised" is a predicate. It is not part of the definition.

Pic related:
Look at this cute loli. I don't see her in a sexual context. I just find her so cute! Is cute inherent to the definition of loli, or is it a predicate? Someone else could say that she looks ugly, and that she's an ugly loli. Is ugly inherent to the definition? Someone else could say that they would love to fuck Satori because, as a loli, she arouses him. Is the capacity for arousal inherent to the definition? No.
