@Chish: No, no, you're tangling up the family tree. Loli comes from Lolita. Lolicon is derived from Loli, and is literally Loli with "-con" (Complex) added in. If someone ends up disgusted by the meaning, it's because you messed up and did mistakes like that.

>Don't tell people "Loli comes from Lolicon". That implies it's short-hand, like you said.

>Tell people "Lolicon comes from Loli", implying the former is a derived term from the latter.

Granted, telling people "Loli comes from Lolita, the book" will likely raise eyebrows anyway, but it's better than outright saying "Loli comes from the japanese equivalent of Pedophile" (when it's the other way around).

At least, with Shota, telling people "Shota comes from Gigantron's MC's name" won't cause a misunderstanding.
