>>3706775Saw this and mostly just wanted to clarify that the word Shota is actually different from "Shouta" or Shotacon. It is a traditional name meaning "Like the sky, freedom, brilliance or endless". The slang of Shota actually exists only outside of japan. Which is a common occurrence as it is the same with loli. In japan, Loli just refers to lolita the fashion or "loli" a style of expression. Lolicon and shotacon are the specific terms that separate the sexualization of those things but since we, who live outside of that culture, don't have any meaning for loli and shota inherently we just accredit those terms to their sexualization. In japan (this is aside from people there who already frequent online culture) you would get no weird responses from anyone from saying Loli or Shota but you would still get the same responses to LoliCON and shotaCON there as you would anywhere else.
It's actually kind of interesting because there isn't a particular term for the images we post here aside from Shota, even though in reality it's mostly about appreciating the aesthetic and attraction involved with, specifically, younger cute 2D males.
