>>word is translated from Japanese to English
Lolicon is an English word...
It's literally just a portmanteau of lolita and complex.

why wouldn't just just adopt lolicon into the english language, it literally comes from lolita complex.

problem where?

Lolita is not an English word and complex is not shortened in that manner.

>Lolita is not an English word
It was literally coined by a Russian-American in a book originally written in English.

angst is not an english word and you faggots use it anyway

>lolicon: a Japanese shortening of Lolita Complex
>Lolita Complex: having a sexual attraction with little girls, taking it's name from the book Lolita by Nabokov
>Lolita: a book written by Nabokov, about a middle-aged pedophile being a pedophile, the principal portion of the plot taking place during the main-character's extended kidnapping of his 12 year-old step-daughter that he continuously rapes for years
Yes, lolicon means pedophile.

If lolicon means pedophile why do you insist people type the longer word instead of the one actually being used?

>how do you say "pedophile" in Japanese?
Lolicon

Lolicon and pedophile mean the same thing, it's just that the latter is harsher. Personally, I'd prefer to leave lolicon untranslated because of that but there are times when pedophile is a legit translation for the situation. Also, the "lolicon = 2D only" thing is a blatant attempt by weebs at trying to change the meaning of the word. Yes, that means being a lolicon means you're into 3D little girls. There's nothing to be ashamed for for liking loli art, and it doesn't automatically make you a lolicon for doing so.
