Lolicon

Lolicon is a term referring to people who enjoy lolis, which are little girls in anime/manga that are purposely drawn to be sexually attractive. It can also define a genre of anime/manga that stars lolis. In Japan, "loli" refers to any little girl similar to how anime is considered to be anything animated. In western countries, "loli" refers specifically to deliberately attractive little girls in anime/manga, similar to how anime is specifically Japanese animation. However, some confused western people still use the Japanese definition of the word, even going so far as to refer to real little girls as being lolis. Both terms, regardless of the definition, originate from Vladimir Nabokov's novel Lolita. While not exclusive to CE, some CEtizens are fans of the lolicon genre. Rin Kokonoe is a popular loli on CE. However, discussions of lolicon are still grounds for harsh moderation if people are sexualizing the lolis.

Despite lolis being fictional characters and no real children being hurt, there is an ongoing argument about whether or not fans of lolis are child predators. Several studies have found that legalizing the possession (not production) of child porn, including loli, helps reduce child sex crimes, even if the awareness of people who possess child porn can encourage more production of it. Despite this, some countries like Australia do consider loli fans to be predators and have outlawed all things loli. Japan itself had a failed bill which, if passed, would have censored anything that has ever portrayed a minor in a provocative pose, even if the character itself is not a full loli and it's only happened within the work once (minors that are unclothed but are not portrayed provocatively would not have been censored). America is slightly more tolerant, banning only works that pass the Miller test (though it's worth noting that the test isn't just limited to lolis or other fictional children; also, images and videos of real children do not have to pass the Miller test to be considered child porn). However, some states such as Florida have more restrictions through local obscenity laws.

An example of a series that is loli but doesn't pass the Miller test (thus being legal in America) is the anime Dance in the Vampire Bund.
