Eh, I just didn't see the need to phrase things in a way where people who aren't educated on the subject could easily mistake it for people using short-hand, thinking they don't feel like typing out the whole word "lolicon". It doesn't help that "loli" and "shota" literally derive from "lolicon" (which, like you said, derives from Lolita) and "shotacon" (which, as you said, derives from Shotaro).

At least brocon and siscon derive from "brother" and "sister", not the other way around. "Brother" and "sister" already had their own meanings on their own, and "brocon" and "siscon" are the complexes of brothers and sisters.

Meanwhile, you try to explain the word "shota" to someone who wonders why the character is called that, and you end up with "It's derived from 'shotacon', which is the complex of having pedophilic love for a little boy." "What?!!" "Oh, don't worry, 'shota' just means he's a little boy." "??? Why not just call him a little boy??"
