So, why isn't this a thing yet?

Once again, this all started because the OP used the word "loli'qote".

Does anyone else not see the hilarity of 40+ pages of debates, arguments, and personal attacks, all because of one word?

Not sure if it's hilarity or tradgedy.

People use the obvious emotional weight of child abuse in such discussions which immediately raises the stakes of the argument, causing things to be said that folks can and will take personally. In the end though it's just a word, and like lolita fashion (aka loli fashion) or gothic lolita fashion (loli-goth), the use of the prefix 'loli' does NOT imply or convey anything related to lolicons or pedophiles. Unfortunately for many, the 'loli' prefix is simply short hand for those things, and nothing nor any argument otherwise will change their mind.


This is why any adult male who enjoys anime such as "Is this oreder a rabbit?" (Gochūmon wa Usagi Desu ka?) will be considered suspect or worse despite simply enjoying a gentle slice of life comedy with really cute characters. Apparently it's rapidly becoming a crime to like cute. In which case, may god help me, I love gentle, charming and cute anime and even collect japanese 22-24 inch vinyl character dolls, as does my wife. If the nascent thought police have their way, my hobbies, including playing JRPGs such as the Atelier games could earn me a one way trip to maximum security detention. That is how stupid the world has become.
