... What does Lolita fashion have to do this this? I didn't bring it up at all.
TO YOU loli is the former, but that isn't the DEFINITION of Loli:
Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nubile#Lolita"lolita" and its shortened form "loli" have come to refer to a sexually attractive, seductive or precocious young girl
Urban Dictionary:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=loli1) short for lolicon
2) hentai that contains underage females in sexual situations.
3) an underage child, often depicted in sexual poses in hentai movies/images.
(For Lolita)
"Lolita is a nickname for Delores. It is also a term used to describe a prepubescent or adolescent girl who is attractive and sexually responsive. She lusts after older men, and is lusted by them in return. "
LOLITA Fashion is totally different BTW
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolita_fashionI see nothing wrong with raging against the machine to have this word banished from our fandom. It's not funny to use, it's not cute. You're saying a young girl is sexually attractive and that is never cool.
To RPB: Loli is mostly used as a way, on the internet, to describe anime girls, which in a way is almost worst, because your dehumanizing the real girl if you call her "Loli". If you look on the internet 95% of all lolicons will rage that Loli isn't real and it's anime and it's a fantasy. But we're calling HARUKA, A REAL LIFE GIRL, a Loli. Pretty hypocritical.
