The definition of loli is a preteen female, end of
Them being neotonous does not make them loli
People don't seem to know what a loli really is because of anime/manga, they take the appearence too seriously

Forgot to mention, if you're applying this IRL then loli is again a girl in a pre-pubescent phase. You find that attractive, and it makes you a pedophile. If you're attracted to adolescent girls then you're an ephebophile (Which is perfectly normal. Biologically men are supposed to be attracted to "jail bait". 8 year olds? Not so much)

Sorry anon, but you've got it backwards.

If she's well below average height with no breast growth and/or signs of pubic maturity then she's a loli. No exceptions. I don't care if she's a "30523 YEAR OLD VAMPIRE XD". If you draw what looks like a 30 year old woman then say "SHE'S ACTUALLY IN 5TH GRADE XD" Its not loli. She has T&A, is a normal height for a teenager, she's not a loli. Simple as that.

That said, it's a fictional drawing and drawings have no age beside the date at which they were drawn. Holding a made up character to the same standards as real life humans is insanity.

tl;dr - If it looks loli it's loli. If it looks like a healthy (read:old) woman/teen then it is one.

If we're going to take this real literally, then lolis are aged between 10~14 years old. Just go read Lolita, after all.

Exactly, they're all immortal vampires who long since past 16
Oh and, tsurupettan?

That's the point, age doesn't matter to us, it's all the official people that care
As long as they look loli I don't care how old they are (well speaking in real life terms, I care if they actually are under 16 >_>)

A loli is any girl with a neotonous figure, age has nothing to do with it. If age factored into it, then only one girl in all of Touhou would count as a loli.

1012 years old! That's Thousand and Twelve, so they are not loli even if they are tsurupettan!

Neotonous isn't exatly the right word, but it works
But yeah, age means nothing

A loli is a young pre-teen girl
Even if she has massive breasts and looks thirty, she's still a loli
and even if a 30 year old looks 12, she is not a loli

Lolis: Serious Fucking Business...

Again, a Kona agreeing on another Kona,lol. Icy is right anyway.

Well, i say we'll just take this simple facts; an <18yo girl is a MINOR, a <13yo girl is a CHILD, ANY girl that has child-like traits (especially 2D girls) is a LOLI.

Chill, Actar. Only idiots and B00berfags would call guys who likes and dates short and flat chested girls as pedos. In my book, paedophiles are more referred as adults who are sexually attracted to girls/boys below 14, it's not the look that they're looking at but the child's age instead, regardless how mature they look. Look at To Catch A Predator, the culprits were willing to have sex w/ a 13yo girl.. who actually looked more like a 25yo woman (Yea,i'm aware that she's a decoy). I meant, they 'like' children but why are they even interested on a non-child-like teenager..? (Well, unless they desperately need sex but they failed to seduce women & they thought it's hell a lot easier to trick minors in chatrooms..) It's like gay Anti-loli shotacons drooling on Kasukabe Akira's trap drawings..., not realizing that Kasukabe's just cheating on them by drawing futa lolis with balls and claimed them as boys... lol JK

Well, i say we'll just take this simple facts; an <18yo girl is a MINOR, a <13yo girl is a CHILD, ANY girl that has child-like traits (especially 2D girls) is a LOLI. ^Win

Nowadays 'loli' is defined by looks, not age. We use 'pedo' for those aged below 13.
Else, we'd call a childlike demon that is over 500 years old an old hag(and I believe no one faps to old hags).

You got it wrong.

Caucasians age too quickly.

Asians age normally and therefore are the superior race.

People don't take this literally by now anymore, so the term is used for both definitions. Though I'd only keep the term loli for 2d little girls myself, not minding the age.

---> What Icy-nee-san said

So what? If my GF was 19 but looked like a 12 year old and I had sex with her, would I be considered a pedo? That's bullshit. You guys are discriminating against girls who look young.

Might I also point out that Asians generally look much younger than westerners of the same age? My classmates are all 18/19 but look like 13 year olds from a western point of view.

But that's Rumia... Not loli in term of age,of course.

which is the defining point behind lolis, sir MaidNiac

\(^o^)/ FINALLY!!! Someone who knows what the true essence of loli is! I'm sick of being called a pedophile by my friends. They joke, but it really pisses me off because they do it so much. In public. Constantly.

Does age really matter to anyone, we all like little girls with small breasts :D

But if they see "Age: 20" at the bottom, what can they say really

Unfortunately, as far as UNICEF is concerned, it doesn't matter how you define loli, because they "know it when they see it."

Pandemonium, a lot of people disagree. For example, several images of Etna from Disgaea are tagged loli on danbooru.
While age can be considered a factor in deciding what is loli and what is not, there are a lot of images of girls that are of unknown age that are clearly classifiable as loli. Does, then, such an image cease to be loli at the point you write "Machiko, 786 yrs" under it? I claim that is not true.

But that is true, if you have clearly stated their age is over 16, then they are not loli
